Pet care experience

We're head over heels for Pups

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.

Our second stay with Kara, and again she took great care of my two doodles, was lightning-fast with communication, and was extremely accommodating with the pick-up and drop-off schedule. Thank you!

Kara is clearly an animal lover, and I think the dogs had a very cozy and safe stay with her.

Kara took very good care with Beatrice who is a fragile blind 14 year old dog over a long weekend in September

Schedule

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.

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.

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!
