More Than Boarding — Training, Stru

Professional dog trainer, not just a sitter – I understand canine behavior, body language, and how to manage dogs safely and confidently. Behavior-aware care – I proactively manage jumping, pulling, barking, and over-arousal instead of ignoring it.

GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle We now have a happy, well mannered dog! If you are looking for a trainer who truly loves dogs and loves what she does, it is Kara. She was there for us every step of the way in the training of our dog, Milo! She went above and beyond for us to make sure we understood our training sessions, checked in to see how things were going, organized pack walks, and treated our dog like he was one of her own. I highly recommend Kara to help you help your dog to be the very best and happiest dog you've ever had!

Schedule

As a professional dog trainer, my schedule already revolves around dogs. Pet care is a priority in my day, allowing me to provide structured routines, supervised activity, and mental enrichment. Dogs in my care are integrated into my daily routine and receive consistent attention, not just drop-in care.

Safety, trust & environment

I I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their own. In my home, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes scheduled feedings, frequent potty breaks, walks, enrichment, play, and calm rest time. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure safety and individual attention, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I focus on calm handling, safety, and clear communication, and I always leave the home clean and respected. As a professional dog trainer, I naturally reinforce good manners and basic obedience during care while prioritizing your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners feel confident and connected
