Experienced Animal Caregiver
Pet care experience
I’m a responsible and hard working individual with a passion for working with and helping animals. I have over 20 years experience working with and caring for animals of all sizes. Since I was born to the present, my family has bred pure bred Golden Retriever dogs and I have had the great opportunity to work with them. From a very young age I learned how to train dogs and continued to show dogs in both obedience and showmanship. At about 8 years old I won my first grand championship and continued to win many more over the years that followed. At the moment I no longer show my dogs but I continue to train dogs professionally. At 2 years old I started working with horses. From the age of 4 years old to the present I have ridden and shown horses in many different disciplines all over the country. For many years I showed both my dogs and horses but my involvement showing horses increased in my teenage years and I was later faced with a choice to continue showing dogs or horses as an adult. I chose to follow my passion showing horses and continued training dogs professionally with the hope to continue showing dogs in the future. The years of experience working with animals has given me the opportunity to become very familiar with hands on ambulatory and basic medical procedures. I’m very capable of administering shots, giving medications, and fulfilling general animal care. I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to be so involved with animals. I truly love animals and hope to continue working with them for a very long time! I hope I will be considered when choosing care for your animal. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Kara is amazing, reliable, and professional. Our animals love her and she does a great job!! Will continue to recommend and entrust kara with our fur children!!! ❤️
Absolutely fantastic. It’s so hard finding the right person to trust with your pets, and meeting Kara we knew she would do well! And when our trip came she did not disappoint! If you are struggling to find someone to entrust with your fur children, I would strongly recommend kara!
Dogs Are family and Kara understands that. We could not have been more happy with Kara. She took great care of our dog, gave her meds, and made sure the house stayed in order. Kara kept us informed the whole time with pictures and notes. Highly recommended to anyone who wants someone amazing and understanding to watch their dog.
Kara was great! Even my nervous pup loved her!??

Information Kara E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there’s anything specific I need to know about the dog, like a special need, attitude or behavior, dietary need, etc. Example, Your dog doesn’t get along well with other dogs/animals, shouldn’t walk far/play too hard because of a past injury, or has seizures occasionally. Basically anything you’re aware of that could effect your animals health or well being.
A typical day
I love getting to know the animal and adapt the care to the specific animal! I love animals (specifically dogs) in general so playing and cuddling is pretty standard for me! But I try to stimulate the dog mentally and physically in a way they enjoy! Every animal is different and I think it’s important to be creative and tailor the care to not only their specific needs but also their specific personality.
