Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Animal Enthusiast Ready to
What sets me apart is my 49 years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals — from playful puppies and cuddly kittens to senior pets and exotic birds, as well as horses and other farm animals. I’m not just an animal lover; I’ve spent decades caring for them in real-life, day-to-day settings. I specialize in senior pet care, understanding the patience, gentleness, and medication routines older animals often need. I’m also great with puppy training basics, helping establish healthy habits and structure from the start. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel safe and at ease, even when their parents are away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, extra belly rubs, a bit of TLC, or someone who understands the unique needs of exotic or large animals — I’m here with love and reliability.

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I give regular updates with photos, so you know your furry (or feathered!) family member is happy and cared for. I also respect your home, keeping things clean and orderly while you're away. With nearly five decades of animal experience, I’m able to quickly tune into each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they’re not just looked after, but truly cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Takes care of my dogs just like her own with love and attention. :)
Kari was amazing!! She did a meet and greet before dog sitting and that helped to assure us that she was the right pick to watch our two fur babies. She was punctual, responsive and sent tons of pictures. We will absolutely use Kari in the future.
The girls loved Kari! She communicated well and often sending lots of pictures. We really appreciated her style and how well she took care of the girls
Kari took amazing care of my little dudes!
Kari was great. She is reliable and loves our dogs. We hope we can book her again soon!! She is the best!
Kari has great communication. My dog and I were both very happy and I will for sure be booking with Kari again.
