Information Kara K. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know how your dogs react to other people and dogs. It's also helpful to know about any medical issues, whether they're prone to escaping or running away, and overall behavioral concerns.

A typical day

I definitely understand the importance of both mental and physical stimulation for dogs. I'm able to walk them, play games (fetch, tug of war), do food puzzles, play with their toys with them, etc. I'm open to whatever activities your dogs like, and whatever you'd like me to do with them!

Pets

Experienced & Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have several years of experience caring for pets professionally. I've always had dogs and cats in my home growing up, so I have a lot of personal experience caring for animals as well. Additionally, I currently have two dogs of my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am comfortable and experienced with giving oral and topical medications. I am also experienced with dogs who are reactive, timid, struggle with anxiety, don't do well with other dogs, etc. I use Rover for my dogs, so I understand how tough it can be to trust someone with your babies. I can ensure that your pets will be safe and well taken care of. I will treat them like I treat my own.

Kara is awesome! My dogs are big and unruly but Kara manages them and I can tell from the pictures that she takes that they love her. Dependable, flexible, and communicative. I never worry when I am away.

Kara was wonderful as always! She gives great updates and pictures, informs you on any unusual changes for your pet, and gives all the snuggles or playtime your cat needs. We will definitely keep utilizing Kara in the future. Thanks for making Ramen feel loved while we were out of town!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
