I’ll run or walk with your pup :)

Pet care experience

I currently live in Portland, OR. My work schedule is 4pm-12:30am Thursday through Sunday. Every animal I have had growing up I have trained myself and they were trained fairly well although I have not taken any classes on training dogs or cats. Once I had a cat that I even trained to use the bathroom outside like a dog, so I never needed a litter box ! I love running with dogs, walking with them and playing fetch! That and unconditional love and cuddles. I have experience on giving dogs flea medicine, liquid and pill form. I keep them in my view and give them loads of attention so they will always feel loved while the parents are away! I have a reliable car (and the max) so transportation is easy to get to you. There are many parks in Portland, Vancouver and Lebanon I could take your dogs to if they are friendly with other animals. I am also very good with cats and even other animals. Myself I have a bearded dragon and he is seven years old and a happy healthy boy :) I am also getting a snake soon. I have had many different animals growing up so I’m prepared for anything !

She left my house better than I left it and took care of my dog very well.

Kara did a wonderful job. I needed cat stop in visits. She did exactly what I asked during our orientation. I would recommend her for sure.

Kara is amazing. Our pups were well taken care of by Kara and we’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure I am following all rules set by the owners. I currently cannot have dogs in my home but I always make sure everything is clean and taken care of, no accidents.

Information Kara A. would like to know about your pet

I have no specificity on breeds that I would prefer. I have watched/owned anywhere from a wiener dog to a husky or Pitbull. I love them all ! The only thing I would like to know is specifics like if they have frequent accidents, are they good with other dogs, specific feeding schedule, if they’re more laid back or hyperactive. Regular things like that.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks and sometimes, if the owner does it usually, I will also run with them. If they are good with other animals I like to take them to the dog park. I especially love the cuddles after a long day when everyone is tired.
