Unfortunetly I lost my big german sheprador robin who I played with and dotted on all day long, I would feed her and take her on walks most days. I am hoping to fill the empty heartbreak by spending time with your dogs in playing catch and cuddling with them! During visits I typically feed, let out for bathroom, play with, and take dogs on walks! I can also do plant/garden watering🌷I do not let other dogs come near yours with other ones on walks for safety reasons without permission, and make sure they get plenty of sniffing in:) please read my response to negative inslanderous reviews of owners coming up with problems to bad review me after not bringing up any issues once they got home

Pet care experience

I have experience doing dog walking and pet sitting jobs since high school, I am now out of high school looking jobs with pet care! I love taking care of and meeting your dogs and cats. Iv cared for many of my neighbors and friends animals and their pets love me! I'm very good with helping dogs with anxiety and trust using treats and training techniques. Pets love me as soon as I walk in the door and i have never disappointed a client on my end. I make sure to show up and do the job exactly as expected. Rover has a 20% fee taken off the full payment towards me so please adjust your payments accordingly as I've had many problems and miscommunication about this.

Kara was awesome. She sent several pics and updated us each day. House was perfect and a nice big yard as well. Our dog seemed totally happy and content when we picked her up. Super responsive with communication leading up to the stay. We will definitely use Kara again.

I was very impressed with Kara. After my last sitter left for college, I was concerned about finding the right sitter again for my pets. Kara took away all of my concerns. At the initial meet and greet, I could tell she has a great connection with animals. One of my dogs is usually a little shy around new people. However she immediately ran up to Kara and was wagging her tail. During the actual house sitting, Kara did a great job of communicating daily with me. She sent multiple photos which is always appreciated. At the end of the day, Kara is professional and kind. She left my house in the same condition as she found it. She loved on my pets as if they were her own. As someone who travels frequently, it makes me happy to know I have a qualified and professional pet/house sitter to rely on when I am gone.
