Dependable, responsible, dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hello and thank you for considering me to care for your loved ones! I'm a graduate student who loves dogs, and I would love to spoil your pets while you're away! I am fully vaccinated (x4) and adhere strictly to COVID precautions. I also have an Instagram, @DogsThatIWatch! A bit about my past: I grew up with dogs and took an active role in their training. My family has raised a number of puppies, so I'm comfortable with all ages, breeds, and temperaments. A bit about my visits: Whenever I receive a booking, I will request a meet and greet. I have a thorough set of questions that will provide me insight into your loved one's life and routine. My goal is to stick as close to their routine as possible to minimize stress. Physical and mental stimulation is vital, so I like to take trips to the dog park, teach and work on tricks, and work in lots of play! With all of my interactions, patience is key and I work on the animal's time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. I also love to spoil, so I love to shower your fur baby with treats and love. I want them to have a mini stay-cation while you're gone! I always send photos for every visit. Thanks for considering me, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. (If my calendar availability does not match your needs, please reach out to me as I may be available given the times you need me!)

Kara is an amazing pet sitter. Her home was the first place I've left our dog, Ruby, without being constantly worried whether she was ok. Kara sent lots of updates and photos, and Ruby just loved her to bits. We have moved out of state, and I'm so sad that we have to find another sitter for Ruby. But for everyone else back home, I can enthusiastically recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Kara made the whole process very easy. She was quick to respond and she sent updates during the day. She was also flexible and helpful with a last minute delay.

Kara keep us updated on our dogs stay with pictures and detailed reports! She made sure our dog was comfortable, active, and loved while we were away! We couldn’t ask for anything more!
