Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and my dog sleeps inside my house. My dog gets treated as a family member and gets walks daily. During the summer and spring months I enjoy outside activities like hikes and ball throws. I’m interested in building a solid relationship with both the dog and dog owner prior to house sittings.

Information Kara B. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely love all dogs. There’s never been a dog I met I didn’t like. Most dogs feel very welcomed and comfortable with me. With that said some of the things I’d like to know about your dog would be, is he/she leash trained, do they get along with other dogs, how are they with people and dogs around treats/food, what specific que’s should I watch for that are specific to your dogs characteristics, any other pertinent information that I may need to know to care for your dog the best.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. My dog is a Siberdoodle so I’ve had to tire him both ways in order to keep his busy mind and active personality out of trouble. I have a ton of patience and understand dogs motives very well. A couple of my favorite places are local hikes in ashland hills, Talent and Ashland dog parks and local walks in the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I have been responsible for the care of my personal siberdoodle (very active and smart husky doodle!) for 13 years. Prior to I have always grown up with a family dog and I have always loved dogs and can give most animals a good read. Throughout my adult life I have helped watch friends dogs and have taken them on walks and hikes when needed. I have house sit for friends in the past on few occasions. There’s never been a dog I’ve met and haven’t loved instantly and most dogs and animals feel calm and comfortable in my presence. I have been using the rover app for 5 years now (first appointment booked in 2021) and am pretty versed in all the apps quirks. I’m available a few hours each day to help care for, walk and visit your pet. I am available most days for a couple hours everyday. I work from home as a sales rep & my schedule is flexible. I take care for my clients pets as I care for my own. My dog is thought of as a family member and he truly is treated as such. Whatever care my client needs for their pet I am available for. A couple things about my skill set and animals I can care for. I have experience not only with dogs but also with chickens, goats, cats, fish & special needs/elderly dog care. Recently my dog has been diagnosed with Diabetes so if your dog may need an insulin dose I can help with that too! I have some experience with administering medication pills to animals as instructed as well as eye drops and other pet care specialty needs.

Kara was very nice to accommodate my last-minute booking. She did great with my two pups! Very patient with my anxious boy, and she spent time to play with my very active girl! Thank you, Kara, for spending time with my Lucy on her birthday 💕
