Availability

I am a teacher, so during the summer I have a flexible schedule for sitting and walks. During the school year, I can board for weekends only. My dog is used to 3 walks a day in the neighborhood and an before-bed potty break, with some trips to trails and parks to keep things interesting.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a quiet dead-end street. I do not have a yard, but there are lots of sidewalks for neighborhood walks on leash, and a trail in the woods within walking distance. If your dog likes car rides, we can also go for adventures on other trails. I have a friendly, 6 year old greyhound, Turtle, who gets along well with medium and large dogs, so any boarders must play well with others and be up to date on shots, including kennel cough, and parasite screenings!

Information Kara K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I am not able to care for dogs that bark excessively or do not get along with other dogs.

A typical day

We typically do 3 20+ minute walks a day and a before-bed pee break. I will always feed dogs in separate rooms and they will be separated if I am out of the house.

Kara and Turtle's Hound B & B

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals from dogs to horses to chickens since childhood. I have had greyhounds for the last 8 years and am familiar with their idiosyncrasies, but am happy to walk and sit dogs of all shapes and sizes.

Kara is a very smart, friendly, and approachable woman whom my wife and I trust to look after our Great Pyrenees mix when we're away.

Kara was wonderful! Her pup Turtle is so sweet and did so well with Murphy! She provided timely updates and plenty of walks! We will definitely reach out again!

Kara did a great job checking in on our girl Georgia! She was very communicative and we felt our dog was well cared for.

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.
