Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I am not able to take care of pets in my home as my husband is allergic to them. I am able to commute to your house to provide care

Information kara k. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know their daily schedule and what they usually expect throughout the day. Their comfort level towards other pets&people is crucial for gauging how walks should go and for how long.

A typical day

Walking as appropriate for dog's energy level, floor play with toys, lots of pets&love! I like to match their interest with the activity since it can take time to get comfortable without owners there

Kara did an AMAZING job taking care of our two kittens! She sent pictures at every visit and was very attentive!

Kara was super kind and easy going! She did great with our dog and we would definitely ask her to take care of him again.

Kara has been one of my closest friends for 17 years and has always been wonderful with dogs, and an excellent dog mom. When we first met, she had 2 dogs, and took amazing care of both of them. She is kind, generous, responsible, and very logical. Kara has helped me with my dogs over the years and is one of the few people I would trust to walk or watch over my dogs. She is always great at communication and always punctual whenever we have plans. Any dog would be happy to have her be their dog walker!

I've hired Kara to do overnights in my home and walks for my anxious and reactive pup, and one time she even took him to the vet for me when he was ill and I had my hands full with a sick family member. She manages his reactivity and anxiety needs perfectly. He always looks forward to her visits. She is communicative, timely, respectful, and goes above and beyond. She is the only person I'll hire to watch my high needs dog.
