Kara is the absolute best. I don’t worry about my Maggie for a second when she’s with Kara. She’s happy to go and enjoys her own little vacay. Kara sends photos and updates daily. Our Maggie is a bit of scaredy-cat when it comes to rain/storms and was at Kara’s house during a few at her last stay and Kara updated us and loved Maggie through it. Your pet will not be cared for better anywhere else. Kara is the right choice!!

Another very happy stay for Boomer at Kara's place. Appreciated the flexibility on dropoff/pickup and the pictures each day. Boomer came home a happy camper!

Kara was great with Boomer and he came home happy and tired. She was also flexible for dropoff/pickup when I had to have another party drop him off and they needed to a bit early. Will certainly keep her on my preferred list!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run & play freely without worry! I also do have toys, food and water bowls, & treats as I occasionally have my mom’s Blue Heeler, Blue in my care from time to time. I do choose to let animals roam freely throughout the house as I believe it’s important to explore to adapt to their surroundings and become comfortable.
