I speak dog better than English :)

Pet care experience

Update: I have a full time job which requires me to work 8 hour days M-F, so I can sit for pets that can endure around 3 days/week being alone for that amount of time. Thank you for your interest. I have always been the go to for my friends and family traveling out of town to take care of their furbabies, not only because I am reliable but because they know my deep sense of caring for our furry friends would never be affected by my day. I would like to expand this experience and passion to all of my future fluffy friends out there. No judgement on those who chose to board, but I truly believe that keeping your furfam in their familiar and comfortable environment with tons of attention from a good sitter trumps being stuck in a boarding facility any day! That’s my humble opinion. I have a 6 year old sweet Aussie boy who loves any human and mostly any animal under the sun. He doesn’t sleepover anymore but is happy to come along for drop ins with his new friends. He’s also happy staying at his grandmas if your furbabe doesn’t need socializing/play dates. I am a strong believer in the way an animal behaves reflects greatly upon their owners. I am excited to get out there and help more pets stay happy, healthy, and safe while their pack is away.

As always, Kara was wonderful. She is dependable, caring and loves my cat. And I think my cat likes her more than me. It's great to be able to be away and have no worries you pet is in good hands, and with Kara he always is.

Kara was great. Our dog and cat loved her and we appreciated the detailed check ins with multiple pictures while we were away missing our furry family members. We came home to our little buddies well taken care of and. Kara even went out of her way to pay extra attention to them when they were feeling they needed some. She was attentive and exceeded expectations.

Kara took the BEST care of my elderly dog with health issues and my cat. She sent so many wonderful pictures and huge paragraphs of updates. I can tell she is truly an animal lover. She went above and beyond!! I never had a worry in my mind while I was gone.

Kara was just awesome! She was so nice to us and our Bella! She went above and beyond her duties in every way. Watered my flowers and stayed and played extra with Bella❤️ Very considerate in every way possible. Would recommend her highly and will definitely use her again as a dog sitter??

Information Kara D. would like to know about your pet

Diet, behavior, tricks, social life, etc. I basically like to know their day to day routine so I can replicate it when your away to aid in their comfort. I dont have any breed preferences, just ask to watch over friendly, non-aggressive dogs and cats.

A typical day

We would go on walks where ever the owner would feel comfortable with, being around the neighborhood or on a local trail. Happy to go whereever my new furry friend desires. For kitties, since very few enjoy a good walk, I would make sure that they have plenty of love and playtime before they decide to go back to being independent and napping. Warning, pet owners: prepare to get many photos and videos of our adventures :)
