Whidbey Island Petsitter

*Whidbey Island only* I've had dogs for nearly fifteen years, not including my family's pets. I'm often asked to help out with my neighbor's and parents' pets, whether it's walking them, letting them out for bathroom breaks, or watching them for a few days. I work full time so I make sure my dogs always have access to food, water, and a fully fenced backyard. In the evenings and on the weekends we go on adventures, like a long car ride or go to the beach. I have a securely fenced backyard and lots of soft places to lay down in the house. I love to cuddle and my four dogs love to play.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and four friendly dogs. I often foster dogs so they are used to having new dogs in the house and like making friends and playing with them.

Kara took great care of our pup! Though it was just a short overnight stay, she was happily worn out with all of the love and attention. Thanks Kara!

Kara loves all dogs. She is good with them and to them and they respond to that. She will try to understand their needs and do the best for them. Her yard is fenced and has nice grass and gives them a view of trees and sunshine.

I mainly work from home so my pets are rarely left alone. There are also lots of kids in the neighborhood that like to come over and play with my dogs when I'm home so they get lots of love and playtime.

I have senior dogs, one who has no teeth and one who is hard of hearing. I also have experience with puppies. All dogs are different so I am flexible to meet the needs of your dog.
