We're head over heels for Pups

Pet care experience

I grew up an only child with dogs and cats, and when I was not playing hide and seek with my animals, I spent much of my youth preventing my master escape artist dog from breaking free. I grew up in NYC, so I understand the importance of keeping animals safe and secure from outside hazards. I have been dog boarding now on Rover for 5+ years. On top of that I have spent years studying animal behavior in university during my time earning my psychology degree.

Took excellent care of Lola, including giving her medicine, hand fed food when needed, and walked her. Also Held a pre visit meet and greet.

It is very easy to leave Ripley with Kara and her family! We know she gets a lot of love, walks, and Netflix. She is happy and tired when we pick her up. Thanks as always, kara!

Kara is a super sitter! Your little guy always sends so happy when we get there, and she's very communicative! She's our go-to when we're out of town!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all animals as we would want to be treated, and I understand the importance of your preferences and advice on taking care of your beloved furbaby. We work really hard to make sure the dogs feel safe and loved. We always have fresh water available, tons of toys and kongs, doggie beds and blankies, and we allow dogs on our furniture. When people spend time here, we're told our home is doggy heaven. We make certain to not have any food or plants that are harmful for dogs in out home.

Information Kara H. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with cats? How about with other dogs? We have both a cat and a dog in our home. My cat is great at ignoring energetic pups!

A typical day

We take our doggos on long walks on the interurban trail (we have our own entrance to the trail at the end of our lane) Occasionally we take doggos to dog friendly establishments.

I live with my boyfriend Glenn, our dog Kitsune, and our cat Puma. I work in Northgate for UW, Monday through Friday, 8-5. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. I’m able to head to my apartment and walk dogs during my lunch break, so doggos won’t be alone longer than 4 hours, ever! I live 50 feet from the interurban trail, making it easy to take them on frequent walks, leaving the pooches satisfied. Pets are allowed on furniture.
