Kari-Kai

Kari Staten

Kari and her husband, Darren, live in a condo in bustling Yaletown, home of great uber dog boutiques and many precious pooches….It’s an ideal little dog community with great access to parks and the sea wall for dog walks!

Kari is the jewellery designer behind the ZUKA line with her studio located in her home. She is also an actress appearing on several Netflix series soon to be released.

“To work with dogs has always been a dream of mine and the ability to care for someone’s pet is a wonderful honor and a unique chance to make that dream come true. After the loss of our beloved Havanese boy, Kai, to cancer in 2016, we were blessed in 2018 to add an amazing rescue pup, Sadie, to our family.

We want to offer the same love, attention and cuddles for someone else’s dog. We can offer that “home away from home” so people don’t have to worry about their kidlets while they are away.” Says Kari.

In the past, her love for dogs even made its way into Kari’s work, with the addition of “Zuka Pooch” a small fashion accessory collection for stylish pups…
