Loving animals since '91!

Pet care experience

I have over a decade of experience with pet sitting/dog walking, and an extreme love for dogs of all ages, breeds and abilities. I have also cared for cats and bunnies! I had a senior chihuahua for 3.5 beautiful years with plenty of experience in diaper changes, medication, dietary needs, and surgery recovery. I'm well versed with animals that need a little extra love, attention, and patience but also adore being playful with more active pets (walking, playing fetch, dog parks, etc). I currently live with my partner of 6 years, Nate, and our 3 year old pup, Milo! I do have some experience with training, as we rescued Milo when he was 12 months. I have no issue with getting my hands dirty if your pet needs a bath or a litter box needs to be cleaned!

Kara came highly recommended. She was great. she arrived right on time, and was very responsive during her housesitting with us. We have three dogs and one cat and they settled in quickly with her and relaxed completely. Definitely a good experience and we will rebook.

If you are hesitant to select a pet sitter, Kara will be the one you want to select first. I have known Kara for five years. She has cared for my senior Bichon Frise Roscoe with the utmost love and care on multiple occasions, and Roscoe and I were very satisfied. She loves all dogs active or sedentary or senior or puppy. I have watched her raise two of her own dogs in all those categories. Kara is kind and gentle in caring for all animals, and she is also observant of out-of-the-norm behavior or health issues and calls it to your attention. Kara is reliable and trustworthy, and her interpersonal communication skills are excellent. So you can always rely on Kara to keep you informed about your pet even if she is just having fun in play. I am certain Kara's qualities extend over the care of any pet - rabbit, cat, horse, or dog, etc.

Kara took care of my reactive dog Nessie and gave her all the love and patience she needed and now all Nessie wants is for Kara to come play!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment on the 4th floor, but there is an elevator and the balcony is fenced in. I would also not allow any animals on the balcony unsupervised. Milo is very friendly with all humans and animals - he was raised with our special needs senior chi, Petey, and we never had an incident with him or any other animals. There is a fenced in dog park at our apartment and plenty of space for leashed walks. I am also available to care for your pet(s) in your home!

Availability

I am currently working as a bartender, with a pretty flexible schedule. My "weekend" is Sunday and Monday, but usually only work for about 5-6 hours when I am scheduled. There hasn't been an issue with adjusting my schedule when need be and since it is the slow season, I am working less than usual.
