Love ALL creatures GREAT or small

Trained many dogs of our own, people always said we have the best pets. My husband is know as the dog whisperer. I love to reward good behavior and not give attention to bad behavior. I know how to show who's boss plus have a close connection to animal behavior and most times know exactly what they are thinking. :)

Doggy Day Care • Mar 01, 2026

Kari and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup. He was tired from play at the park and slept on the way home. They were so flexible with my schedule on pick up and drop off time. I will definitely book with them again if I’m back in the area.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 24, 2025

They took great care of my boy during the day while I was busy on some adventures. Great communication and I appreciate them doing a feeler visit first to insure all the dogs would get along well! They were active and took my dog with theirs out to parks, and even got my boy in some doggy Olympics! Will use again for future visits! One thing I’ve noticed is many Rovers in the area take on many clients dogs at the same time, they only had their dogs and mine and I appreciate that more than those who take on (in my opinion) too many dogs at a time. Highly recommend, my little man came back nice and tired from his fun adventures with them!

Thank you for caring for our dogs. We had a long trip and it was peaceful to know the dogs were well taken care of. I would recommend services from Kari anytime.

Leaving my anxious pup with Kari was better than I could’ve hoped for. She was loved on and got to have some social time. Kari worked with our last minute schedule, and I truly appreciate her family for pitching in to take our Winter.

Kari and her daughters are so wonderful! They go out of their way to make sure our beagle feels right at home and does not let his nose get him into trouble. I would highly recommend!

Kari and her two daughters have sat for three of my dogs and two cats over the years. They are very consciences and have taken very good care of my animals needs. I have had to leave abruptly and I know I can count on them to come to my home to pick my fur babies and return them at a minute’s notice. We have often negotiated a good price on long time sittings. They have had their own animals so they are very aware of the needs of any animals you may have. Including a bird I owned for a while.
