Dogs, Cats and Bunnies!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I currently own three cats and three rabbits. Growing up, our family had two dogs as well as several small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish). I’d love to have a dog of my own, but feel a new addition would be disruptive to the current balance in my home. That’s why I’m looking to spend time with your pup! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I look forward to also providing visits to cats and small animals. My experience with my own rabbits has made me aware of warning signs for health issues with rabbits including GI stasis. I am certified in Pet First Aid through St John Ambulance. Getting married? Ask me about wedding day dog handling options! I offer custom wedding day packages for wedding day handling, transportation services, etc.

I never feel uneasy leaving my diabetic cat in Kari's hands. She's so wonderful!

Kari was wonderful and attentive. Our fur kids love her, even our very shy boy. It was reassuring knowing the gang was well cared for while we were away. We would recommend Kari to anyone in need of pet sitting service.

A typical day

I love to walk! I look forward to exploring new areas for parks and hiking trails. For drop-in visits with cats and small animals, I follow their lead. I am more than happy to actively interact, but understand some prefer to keep a safe distance from new visitors.

I do work full-time elsewhere. My main motivation for signing up with Rover is to spend time with animals and keep my mind and body busy. Currently I am available nights and weekends. I have occasional extra availability, so feel free to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
