Pet care experience

I am very comfortable with all breeds and personalities. A lot of my daily clientele came to me beginning around 8 weeks to a year old as puppies. Watching them grow up is so rewarding! I love caring for senior pets as well.

This was our first time using the Rover app. Kara was so responsive. Kara kept us informed and sent us pictures of our fur babies. Such reassurance that they were taken care of in the best manner. We will definitely rebook Lara in the future. Thank you.

Kara is the best. She did a great job caring for both our older dog and our young, energetic and not yet fully-trained puppy. I highly recommend her. She clearly loves the animals.

Kara was a great communicator and very accommodating of my last minute request for a walk! Followed all instructions. Would book her again!!

Kara was great with all our dogs (and tortoise)! One of our dogs is old and needs insulin and a diaper and another is very stressed around strangers. Kara took the time to let the dogs get to know her and everything went really well.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
