PET SITTING SERVICES
Bespoke dog walking, pet and house sitting service.
Flo’s Furry Friends
Bespoke dog walking, pet and house sitting service.
My name is Kari Flo Dunton, I am fully insured for all aspects of pet sitting, walking and transportation. I hold an ‘Introduction to Animal Care Certificate’, ‘Pet sitting and dog walking Diploma’, ‘Animal first aid’ and an Enhanced DBS.
Experience
I have been house-sitting since 2018, through an online site, and have eleven 5-star reviews from the eleven completed sits, from North Yorkshire to Cornwall, Southern Ireland and several places in between. Pets have ranged from cats and dogs to Crested Geckos, chickens and even ‘Minty and Parsley’ the sheep!
I have been helping out at local hedgehog rescues for 18 months now. Care has included feeding and cleaning out the hogs. I have done some triage and have been passed by Old Registry Vets for assessing and administering injectable and topical medicines to sick and injured hedgehogs.
My Pets
Over the years I have had mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, budgies, cockatiels, cats, dogs, fish, chickens and currently I have 2 corn snakes.
My Services
My aim is to now offer bespoke pet sitting in my local area.
I can come to your home to feed your pets, sit with them, interact and play with them and take them for walks. How much or how little you want is up to you. Each enquiry will start with a home visit to meet you and your pets, to check we all get along and to discuss your and your pets requirements.
I aim to only walk dogs from one household at a time. If however you want your dog to have a ‘Doggy Play Date’ I will do my best to arrange it with another client.
Duration
You may just want me for an hour, an afternoon, the whole day, overnight or even two weeks holiday. I would recommend at least a taster before you go on holiday to the other side of the world but hopefully I can cover that too!
Pricing
Every sit will have different duties. I will not be able to quote until I have been to your home, met you and your pets and seen what your sit entails.
I have had the privilege of knowing and the friendship of Kari Dunton for 44 years. She is very honest, loyal and trustworthy. She is also very capable and could achieve anything she set out to master. Kari trained my dog Teddy in a couple of hours how to behave and not beg at the table etc. just one example. I would trust her implicitly.

I met Flo in 2020 when we both started volunteering at a local hedgehog rescue. She’s very hard working , efficient and thorough taking great care in all she does. She’s enthusiastic , funny and a real people person. We have become good friends and enjoy going on dog walks , my dog Bramble loves her and is very happy for her to look after him. She cares very much about all animals not just furry ones and I think she will be great looking after peoples pets. I would be completely happy to leave Bramble in her care.

Thank you so much to Kari Dunton for taking good care of our girl Gracie while we’ve been away. We received regular texts and photos to update us on how they were getting on and it was clear Gracie took no time at all settling in! So much so when it came to us picking her up she was torn between getting in the car or staying with Kari!! Needless to say we won’t hesitate in using Flo’s Furry Friends in future.

Thank you for taking Jax for a walk, he was worn out and chilled for the night.

Kari and Steve are fantastic house sitters. They looked after all of our animals really well and kept us updated with how the sit was going. The house was really clean and tidy when we got back. I would highly recommend them.

So lovely to have Kari and Steve come and stay again and look after the boys. I don’t know who loved it more!! My boys were so happy and well cared for. I had every confidence in their care. Many thanks for looking after the boys and providing lots and lots of cuddles!!

A big thank you to Kari and Stephen who travelled from Lincolnshire to Cornwall. They took the time to get to know our furries and loved and cared for them. All three dogs were so chilled and happy and our home was clean and tidy. Also, thank you for leaving food in fridge for us, so appreciated it. They also coped with a leaking valve in the central heating. Once again, thank you both so much, we wouldn’t hesitate welcoming you back, to be sure, Bobbles, Lily and Lola would be very happy to see you again (not forgetting Maureen the crested gecko).
