Doggy Day Care • Jul 25, 2026

Kara was fantastic with our dog Jane! She was really good about introducing her to the new environment since Jane gets a little nervous sometimes. Kara also sent us updates and cute photos. Jane can’t wait to go back!

I felt nothing but good leaving my fur babies with her! This was his first time being away from us, and he did great with her! 10-10 recommend Kara!

Kara was amazing! Our little pup M.C. had the best time! She communicates and sends lots of photos so you know your baby is having fun! Would definitely rebook anytime!

The absolute best. We had to leave our girl for 3 weeks. Anywhere else that would have killed me, but here I don’t worry a bit. She runs right into the house every time I drop her off because she loves it. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, my pets are treated like family. They have safe spaces to relax, cozy napping spots, and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I ensure they feel secure and loved with lots of cuddles and attention. In a clients home, I would provide the same level of care and comfort. I prioritize safety by respecting your routines, ensuring your pet has access to their favorite spaces, toys, and comforts, and always keeping their wellbeing my top priority. Trust and love are at the heart of everything I do for pets!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day at my house starts early with a supervised morning potty break while I enjoy my coffee and the dogs get some fresh air and playtime. Once everyone’s had their fill or the weather gets too warm, we head back inside for breakfast and a little downtime while I begin my remote work. Around noon, we take another quick outdoor break to stretch and potty before settling back in for more play, cuddles, snacks, and the occasional nap. In the evening, usually around 5:30 or 6, we head outside again for a final run before dinner, followed by some relaxed hangout time as we wind down for the night. I keep bells on all the doors. My dogs know to ring them when they want to go out, and most visiting pups catch on quickly too. I’m always nearby and ready to let them out for a potty break or a quick zoom around the yard anytime they need. My days are built around the dogs’ needs and comfort, and there’s plenty of love, structure, and flexibility built into our routine.

To help me provide the best care possible, I’d love to know a bit more about your pup! •Do they have any unique quirks or behaviors I should be aware of? •Are they currently taking any medications (oral or subcutaneous)? If so, please include dosing instructions and timing. •Do they have any special needs/dietary restrictions, mobility issues, anxiety triggers, or anything else that would help me make them feel safe and comfortable? The more I know, the better I can make their stay happy, healthy, and stress free!
