I just...really like dogs

Pet care experience

My name is Kara and I am a former dog socializer/walker volunteer at the SJACC, from where I rescued a senior special-needs dog (I.e. the love of my life, who unfortunately passed away from cancer surgery last year). I love dogs and are more patient with them than I am with most humans ;). I will take your dog hiking if that's his/her jam, or I can take him/her to a couple dog parks within walking distance from my apartment. I do live in a high-rise with no yard (but a dog park is a block over), so your pup must be ok with going into an elevator. I have built up some resistance to the puppy eyes, so no human food or excess treats from me if your pup is on a diet or if that's your preference. If you do daycare and take Caltrain, I am happy to come to the station to pick up your dog and walk him/her to my apartment in the morning.

Kara is wonderful - this was our second stay and she was just as amazing as the first time. See you again soon!

Kara was hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had. We unfortunately had to leave town shortly after our dog had an intense cleaning/teeth extraction. Kara made sure she was safe, comfortable and healing and sent us the best updates and photos along the way. Would 1000% rebook with Kara again. Thank you for everything, Kara!

Kara was an amazing dog sitter. She was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch my dog on a Sunday, and was so loving and caring towards him. She took him on walks, played fetch with him and sent regular photos to update me on what he was doing throughout the day. She’s so friendly and accommodating, and I can’t recommend her enough. I’m definitely going to be a repeat client the next time I need a dog sitter because Kara is great, and Ozzy absolutely loves her!
