Pet care experience

I am currently working from home all day so I’m able to be home with your babies! I also have my own 11yo lady, Lucy, who lives with me. Most of my childhood my family had 3 dogs at once so I am quite accustomed to having lots of them around! I have worked in vet clinics, pet sat for many friends and family members over the last 10 years, and I simply LOVE all dogs! The smile and joy a dog can bring you is priceless and I would love to share that love with your dogs! I love snuggling and will give your pup all the love he or she needs!

Kara was prompt for our meeting and was so sweet with our pup! She sent updates throughout the night and made us feel very comfortable. It was nice to know our pup was so well taken care of while we were gone. We will 100% use her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for all pets like they’re my family. I truly believe our pets are just as much part of our families as we are, and I want you to feel safe leaving them with me. I will send lots of pictures, if you want them, and provide regular updates. I’m very attentive with my own dog since she’s older now, so if I ever notice anything unusual with your pet for any reason I will let you know right away!

Information Kara H. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but I would just want to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or not. Since my Lucy has a big personality she will want to play and interact with them so it's best if your dog is also friendly!

A typical day

I will make sure your pup is clean, happy, and loved the whole time they are in my care! With my girl Lucy, I enjoy taking her out on long walks, to play in the park, and on all sorts of adventures. But she is also showered with love an affection and sleeps in bed with me all night. We play endless rounds of fetch in the house and the park behind my house too. I'm used to having a terrier and growing up with them but I know not all dogs are quite so interested in the adventurous lifestyle my little lady enjoys, so I can adapt to whatever your dog wants to do! I offer washing services if you would like/if your pup gets a little dirty adventuring through this wonderful city. No one wants dirty paw prints on the bed! I am also human first aid/cpr certified since I work in health care, but that means I am also very concerned with your pet's health. So if anything happens I will definitely take good care of them!

Availability

I already care for my own dog Lucy so I am used to building my day around a pet’s needs. I have a flexible schedule so if your dog likes to walk or eat at certain times, I can definitely make that work. I live a fairly lowkey lifestyle so I’m definitely home more than I’m away. I love pets of all kinds so I’ll make sure to meet whatever needs they have!
