Highlights
Pet care experience
Bring me your Furbabies!
I've taken care of dogs my entire adult life. I love dogs so much and would love to keep yours! I am actively involved in dog rescue and I've fostered over 50 dogs over the past 8 years. I have a portrait studio in my house and If you are interested, I also offer professional dog photography (ask if you want more information)! I can keep your dogs at my house and love them while you are out of town! I have a big back yard for them to run and play in as well! Then we can all curl up on my couch together and snuggle! I will treat your dog just like my own! Feel free to ask my any questions you have!

Kara is the best!!!
Kara is our go to care giver for our furry boy when we are out of town! She communicates so very well and loves on our boy in a way that makes us melt! We will be back again soon!
Always takes great care of my dog!
Great experience overall.
Kara took great care of my sweet girl. She asked questions before and during drop off to make sure she could keep my dog as close to her usual schedule as possible. Overall great experience, thank you!
Kara is the sweetest, most thoughtful dog sitter you could ask for. She was so kind, understanding and flexible when our flight delay forced us to change our pickup plans, which meant so much to us. Most importantly, our pup Remy absolutely loved staying with her. We’re so grateful for the loving care Kara gave Remy and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Schedule
I work Monday-Friday for a school district but I work from home two days a week and I’m off weekends and summers. I’m usually home by 4:30 on the three days a week I do go into work. I have dogs of my own so I’m always working my schedule around dogs :).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and always supervise them closely. I have fostered dogs for many years which requires working within safety parameters. Please note that I do keep dogs of all sizes and I do keep multiple dogs simultaneously or with some overlapping days at times. If you have any concerns about that or anything else, please let me know at the time of inquiry. I love taking care of dogs and making pet parents feel at ease knowing their dog is being loved and cared for, so if anything about my set up or how I do things would not make you feel that way, I would rather you know that ahead of time so you can find the right sitter for your needs. With that in mind, It is also important that your dog is comfortable and gentle with dogs of all sizes if he or she is coming to stay, unless you are ok with them being kept in a totally separate room from the other dogs at all times. My house is a pretty calm and peaceful vibe. As such, hyperactive dogs who need significant stimulation may do better in a different environment. Please feel free to ask any specific questions you have.
