Pet care experience

Excited to help and meet your pet!

I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, whether they be big or small. However, my actual experience taking care of dogs came into play about 6 years ago. I assumed the role of a “dog mom” when I started to help take care of my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities grew when we soon added another dog to our family, where I learned all about puppyhood as we raised our new addition.

Safety, trust & environment

Being a full-time dog mom has taught me that animals have lots of needs and emotions just like us. I understand it’s important to be empathetic and patient with not only my furbabies but yours as well!

Responsive, thoughtful, genuine, and professional. Kara had taken care of my cat multiple times, and every time is a seamless and amazing experience.

Kara always takes great care of our cat Mango. She always gives a heads up of what time she will be dropping in on Mango, always takes lots of pictures, and never leaves out any details from her visit.

Kara was absolutely amazing as always! She looked after our kitty & guinea pigs so well while we were away. She sent lovely photos & kept us informed about how they were doing everyday! She even went to the store a couple of times to get more veggies for the piggies, thank you so much!

Kara is fantastic! Her schedule opened up and we were fortunate enough to be able to book her. Our dog Ona loves her, she is very communicative, and accommodating. What more can you ask for? Thank you so much Kara!

I would love to meet your pet beforehand so that I can get a sense of their personality and get to know their needs better. Please let me know any health concerns beforehand and any commands you would like me to use for training purposes.
