Pet care experience

Where your pup feels at home!

Dogs have been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, and caring for them has always been my greatest joy. I was blessed to share 14 wonderful years with my last fur baby, and through that time, I truly understood how hard it is to leave your beloved pet behind when traveling. The biggest worry was always whether they were getting the same love and attention I gave them every day. That’s why I started dog sitting—to give pet parents the peace of mind that their babies are in the best hands. Since I work from home, I can provide constant care, affection, and companionship, ensuring your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. With me, they’ll get all the attention they need, so you can fully relax knowing they’re in a home filled with love! House Sitting: I provide 24/7 in home care for your pets in your home so they are the most comfortable. I will stay the night at your home so that they are not alone overnight. I can work from anywhere with good wifi. This makes it easy to keep your pet company even while I'm working during the day. House Sitting includes up to 2 walks a day. If more walks are needed please let me know ahead of time and I can add on a per walk charge for the extra walks. I do offer House Sitting services up to 90 miles from Lincoln

Kara was great! My dogs had a fantastic time enjoying her fenced back yard and snuggling on the couch with her!

Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!

Kara did a great job. This was our first time using Rover and it went well. We have a few things to work on but overall a good experience.

Kara was amazing! She was super flexible on time and the dogs loved being there. We appreciated her watching them for the night! She had a dog door which was a big plus as our dogs are used to having one.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6ft fully fenced back yard great for running and playing! I also have a doggie door so they can go in and out whenever they want! I have dog beds in the home for use, if you do crate, no problem, just bring along their crate and we will accommodate whatever they are used to doing at home!

A typical day

A typical for me starts about 8am, but I will get up whenever the pups do and let them out. I work from 10-4 from home, taking a break for a walk or to play in the yard whenever we want to. Take a walk and then relax in the evening going to bed around 9 or 10pm. I can adjust my schedule when needed to accommodate your pets normal schedule as well.
