Professional, safe & caring petsit

Pet care experience

Close to Levi’s Stadium! 🏟️ I adore animals and offer exclusive care to one pet family at a time. With extensive experience in caring for dogs, cats, and puppies—having had two beloved dogs myself—I ensure personalized attention and follow all routines, medical needs, and provide regular updates. The area is pet friendly, gated, and perfect for walks. I will safely and responsibly care for your little family member as if they were my own. Long term stays: Make sure to include backup food, treats, and toys, to help ease the separation and also prepare in case of travel delays. Provide both your vet contact information, and a local emergency contact, especially if you will be traveling internationally. Picture and/or text updates are available as per your preference, ensuring you're informed and reassured about your pet's well-being. Accessibility note: Stairs

Kara was very sweet towards my dog, Miles. She sent me photos and updates on how he was doing. I was feeling a bit nervous because I’ve never left him with someone I didn’t know before. However, I felt at ease after meeting Kara and seeing how Miles almost fell asleep in her arms during the meet and greet! Highly recommend.

Kara took great care of our pup for the weekend. She took her on plenty of walks and gave her the attention and space she needed while we were away. Highly recommended!

Kara is great with puppies! She was the only one that responded quickly to my last min request. She gave Taro one to one care and made Taro feel at home for his first daycare experience. 100% recommend.

I've taken Lana to many Rover sitters, and Kara was definitely one of the few great ones. It was obvious that she really cared about animals and knew how to handle all the crazy puppy energy. She sent daily updates with pics (which was amazing because I missed my baby when I was away, so this helped a lot), she followed the care routine perfectly, and just seemed like she genuinely had a great time with Lana. Lana came back to me healthy, happy, and I know I can trust Kara with Lana every time we leave on trips now. Kara was very flexible with my crazy schedule as well, which was helpful for the drop-off and pick-up. Definitely recommend Kara for any of your furbaby needs, you won't regret it :)

Information Kara A. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your pet has health or trauma issues so I know what to do in an emergency. Also let me know if they have any behavioral quirks to accommodate for. Transparency is key to a safe, healthy and happy stay!

A typical day

Your pet will have plenty of exercise, including walks, and playtime in my dog friendly gated community. They’ll have lots of attention and lots of cuddles!
