Pet care experience

Empty nester with time/love to give

I absolutely LOVE animals and can't wait to meet yours! I have had pets since I was a child. As an adult, I have owned both cats and dogs. I have also owned birds and rodents such as hamsters, rats and guinea pigs. I have had both large (shepherd size) dogs and small terrier type dogs. I have taken care of all ages of dogs including puppies and seniors. We have owned dogs with medical conditions that required medication administration. I have done some training with my own dogs for basic commands with success, but am not a professional pet trainer.

Kara was great to work with! She provided detailed information from her drop-in visits with my pup. I will absolutely be reaching out for her for future drop-ins. She’s great!

Kara loves all animals, especially dogs. She scratches them and talks to them and they all seem to love her! She is very responsible and always fulfills her commitments. She is fantastic!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

All my children are young adults and out of the house. I spend my time walking/jogging, cooking and quilting. have plenty of extra time to add in some love and/or exercise for your furry friend! I have plenty of flexibility as far as availability and time.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

We have recently moved into a downtown apartment. We do not currently own any pets as we recently lost our beloved Kirby dog. We cannot accommodate pets in our home right now, but I would be happy to come to you. I have really missed having a pet to love on - I find myself wanting to pet random dogs on the street because I miss interacting with pets! I will treat your pet just like I would my own, with care, love and compassion. Every pet is different with their own personality and anxieties and I would love to get to know your pet and what he/she needs and wants while you are away.

A typical day

I would like to learn from the pet owner what their pet likes to do. I am happy to sit on the couch and give pets and love, I am happy to throw a ball or toy in the yard, I am happy to run around and be rowdy. I do lots of walking and would be happy to go for a walk. Each pet is different, so I will ask the owner what the pet needs/wants and tailor each visit to what is wanted/needed.

I hope the pet owner will give me some information about their furry friend and what they like/dislike. I would need to know of any medical conditions or issues to be aware of. If there are any aggressive tendencies I need to know that as well. I would like to know if there is anything the pet is scared of or nervous about, I would like to know that so I can avoid any extra stress on them. I also would like to know anything they particularly love so I can make them happy and comfortable when I visit.
