I love cats and dogs of all sizes!

Pet care experience

I work from home which allows me some flexibility. I am available for nearby drop-in visits or walks for your cats, dogs, or small animals. Most recently, I have been a repeat dog walker for some clients. I walk in rain or shine, unless the weather is dangerous. I love being able to form these relationships with pups that are so excited for their walk! Hope to see you soon! About Me: I have always had cats and dogs in my life. At times I only had one each, but in recent years I've had up to three at once. I enjoy their energy and playfulness but also love to cuddle with them at the end of the day. I have experience with many different dog breeds including Jack Russels, Maltese, Dachshunds, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Australian Shepherds, and Huskies. In 2014, my parent's Rottweilers had puppies and I helped to raise each one of them. I love dogs of any breed and size and believe that any dog can be a great dog with the right attention. Although I LOVE dogs, I really am a cat person at heart. I would love to do some drop-in visits for your feline fur babies too. I also have experience with small animals including hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I have two Aussies, Kat and Kol that love to play and run. I hope to see you and your pets soon! :)

I advise caution if you are booking with Kara. I booked her to come twice daily over the weekend, and she left my animals unattended for over 24 hours. She did give me a refund but I booked with Rover to give my pets quality care, and this did not happen.

Kara is the most reliable person, and I will only hire her to give me the peace of mind when I’m out of town.

Kara was so reliable. I was anxious to leave my cat because she is used to constantly having people around her. My cat absolutely loved her! She gave updates regularly, and kept us relaxed on our trip. I’m so glad we got to meet someone we can trust with our home and kitty. We will always be booking her :)

Kara was great with our dog, Sumo, while we were out of town. She was always on time with drop-ins and gave us plenty of updates and photos.

Information Kara K. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences, but I would like to know how playful they are. I own two very playful and friendly Australian Shepherds and it would be great if your pup(s) would want to play with them. I also want to know if they have any type of reactiveness (food, toy, dog, etc.) so that I can avoid these situations.

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks and I currently walk an Aussie that lives nearby a few times each week. When I am available for dog sitting, I have a fenced in back yard, LOTS of dog toys, and a safe neighborhood to go for walks in.
