“We had such a great experiences! They took amazing care of our dogs and treated them like they were there own. We got updates, pictures, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all kinds since age 14. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, care and love their pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize flexibility and consistency. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet's needs. I create a calm and safe environment for every pet. I follow detailed care instructions, monitor behavior closely, and always ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I have a fenced yard and two sweet, social dogs to keep your pup company. I can crate if needed and follow any safety instructions you provide.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the past three years, I’ve been pet sitting on the side, gaining hands-on experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual needs and understand how important routines, patience, and comfort are—especially for senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, medication reminders, or additional attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 A typical day in my home includes plenty of structure, care, and attention to your pet’s individual needs. In the morning, pets are taken out for a potty break and walk, followed by breakfast according to their regular feeding schedule. Throughout the day, I provide additional potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and engaged. If your pet requires medication, I carefully follow all instructions and make sure it’s given on time. In the evening, pets enjoy another walk, dinner, and wind-down time before bedtime. I always do my best to stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while staying with me. 🐶🐱 My home provides a safe, stable, and comfortable environment for pets. We have a large, unfenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and exercise. Safety is a top priority in our household—we have secure locks on all entry points, cameras surrounding the property for added security, and HOA monitoring in the area for extra peace of mind. We also have children in the home who are familiar and gentle with animals, always supervised and respectful of each pet’s space and comfort. Overall, I aim to create a calm, secure setting where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while staying with me

Also, I have always been around cats and dogs at home. When I got old enough I started to helped clean after them and take care of there needs. I'm still in school but after school I have a good flexible schedule. The most time I have is during the weekends and summer times.

About: I have 3 years experience working in pet stores as an animal care expert, 2 years as a dog bather, and 1 year as a kennel technician. I have 3 cats and a hound dog currently and have grown up caring for animals! I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve rescued nine stray cats, gotten them spayed, helped them recover, and found them loving homes, so I’m very comfortable working with shy or nervous animals. I’ve also cared for a senior cat with several special needs, which taught me patience and how to handle more detailed care routines. I’ve trained a Siberian Husky as well, so I understand the energy and structure dogs need. I currently have cats of my own, so daily feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable is already part of my everyday life. I’m available on weekends and have a flexible schedule during those days, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention for pets. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space for both cats and dogs. I have a spacious house where pets can relax comfortably, with plenty of room to move around or find a quiet spot if they need it. For outdoor time, I have a secure fenced backyard that’s great for dogs to safely play and get energy out, and a catio for cats who enjoy fresh air and stimulation in a protected space. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet feels comfortable, supervised, and at ease while they’re with me.

Sanford dog parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!
Joy was wonderful! She took great care of my fur tribe while I was away. I felt like she really cared for them and gave them the love and attention I would during her visits. She was very communicative. It was great knowing that my fur babies were well cared for while I was away ❤️
Allison took excellent care of my pets - dropping in multiple times a day and even going above and beyond picking up after there mini house renovations and bathroom stops outside! She managed multiple feeding scheudles and meds. Our pets were stress free during our trip because of Allison's care. We will be continuing to book with Allison for our pet care.
Ilene is the best! She meet with us ahead of time to introduce herself and meet our 4 babies before our vacation. She was so kind and communicated every step of the way. We felt so at ease while we were away! She took pictures and gave updates. Ilene is a true animal lover and we will definitely be rebooking with her! Thank you so much for Ilene for your care for our babies while we were away!
