Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment, so while I don’t have a fenced in yard, I live walking distance to multiple parks as well as the Virginia Capitol walking/bike trail along the James River. My building has stairs and elevators, as well as a large, open, grass field for potty breaks!

Information Kara I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog loves, hates, and anything important that you think I should be aware of! And of course if there are any severe allergies or medical conditions.

A typical day

I’m a lover of walks, both short and long! Playing fetch, tug of war, and any activity that lets out energy. Exploring new areas, smells, and endless snuggles and love!

Kara I.'s Neighborhood

Dog-loving teacher on summer break!

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs (German Shepherds and a Pomeranian), so no dog is too big or too small for me! I’ve been a dog sitter since college and have been trusted by family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to love on their furry friends while they’re away!

Always so good with our three dogs who can sometimes be a handful!! We always know they are in great hands when we’re out of town.
