Caring and responsible animal lover
Pet care experience
HI! I am here to take care of your pet and pamper them. I understand special needs animals and those personalities that need a little more patience. I grew up with pets in a city and animals on a farm, so I bring a variety of experience. My cat is no longer with me, so I look forward to meeting your furry one. I work from home, so I am able to do drop in visits. I have over 15 years experience caring for pets From cats to bunnies to dogs, I am adaptive to different situations. I provide a tender loving care with hugs and playtime. Any specific requests? I am able to give medicine and pamper your pet. If there are any bumps, I communicate immediately. I work from home 8-4, and am free to walk or care for your animals before or after--from quick visits to long walks.
Reviews
Our experience with Karis was fantastic. She was great with our dog Murphy, always timely, and very friendly. She was very great about accommodating a couple changes we had to make to our request due to changes in travel circumstances. We'd definitely go with Karis again for future requests with Murphy and would highly recommend her.
Karis has always shown compassion towards animals. She has given food to stray dogs and always takes time to notice them and make sure they are safe. Karis is honest, responsible, punctual, and always puts full effort into whatever she does. Karis is an animal lover with an amazing work ethic, so I highly recommend her as a dog sitter!
Karis is a very dependable person whom I would trust any of my beloved pets with any time. She is patient, flexible and has all the qualities that are needed to give any pet the care they so richly deserve. I love my pets and would only trust them with a very select few, Karis would be among those select few.
Karis is a true gem!! She is truly committed and loves ALL animals. Lulu just adores her, and loves her walks and play time. Karis has boundless energy that your Fido will be tired after their time together. lol

I understand the different personalities of animals, and I will follow guidance you have laid out about your pet and situation. I gather as much information as possible before a visit, so I am ready to meet your family and pet's needs. I understand some pets are nervous around a new human, and I will give them the space to get to know me.
Information Karis P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs, particular concerns, things they shouldn't get into, etc. (walking behavior, feeding behavior). Do they act a certain way around a new human? Are there things I should make sure to look for/keep them away from? I will make sure to follow your directions.
A typical day
I will follow any suggestions from you about what your pet likes. We can play outside or inside with your pet's favorite toys. We can have grooming time, or whatever your pet needs. I love being outside (I work inside), and I look forward to it if that is what your pet enjoys.

Availability
Hi. I am unfortunately returning back to in person work and will have less flexibility with my schedule. This means I am probably a better back up walker/sitter for emergencies. Because of this, I am only scheduling a few weeks out at a time. I am now available early am before 8/8:30 or after 4pm. Some days I have more flexibility as I understand most owners want a regular person.
