Pet care experience

As long as I can remember I've always adored puppies and dogs. Growing up we always owned dogs for pets. There's nothing more heart warming than getting home and having your pet greet you at the door with a wagging tail and wet slobbery kisses. I have also watched pets for friends and family members over the last 10 years when they have gone out of town. I currently have 1 dog named Bandit who is a pit mix and 2 cats named Cali and Lily. Bandit is almost 2 years old and Cali and Lily are 8 years old. I have a 4 year old son who also loves animals. I am a Special Education teacher at WMMS. I would be able to let your pet out in the morning before work around 6:30am and would be home in the afternoon to let them out again by 3:30. Weekends I will be home and available all day. I'm also off on holidays and am available to keep your fur babies. Upstairs we have a crate that Bandit stays in during the day while I'm at work. The cats stay upstairs and roam, however I have a spare bedroom they can be put in if your dog is not cat friendly. Bandit is very friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. The cats also tolerate dogs and can be relocated to accommodate your pets. We live in a nice neighborhood with a pond and walking trails I can take your dog in the afternoons after work and on the weekends. Bandit loves taking walks to the pond.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kara and her family were wonderful with Abbey. She settled in right away and truly felt at home. Abbey enjoyed playing with Bandit and watching the kitties, and it was clear she was comfortable and happy. Kara sent pictures and updates, which we really appreciated and found very reassuring. We’re so grateful for the care Abbey received and would absolutely book with Kara again.

Kara was easy to work with and flexible with drop off and pick up times. She truly enjoys dogs and cats, and her dog Bandit got along great with Fritz. I will be booking again with her.

Kara was wonderful! She would message everyday about Oliver's shenanigans and send his silly pictures. Her dog was very playful and got right along with mine. I would highly recommend her!
