Kara is great! Our pup loves her. She takes cute pics and leaves great info on visits cards! Very reliable.

Kara was especially interested in Meshas's routine care that would make her stay more comfortable. Her daily photos and updates on Mesha's eating and purring helped me feel more comfortable. I felt that Kara really cared about both Mesha and my concerns, so I knew my cat was in good hands. Thank you Kara

I can’t say enough good things about Kara and her doggie daycare! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt totally at ease. She clearly gets dogs! The space is safe, clean, and full of fun activities that keep the dogs engaged and happy. She doesn’t just “watch” dogs—she plays with them, teaches them, and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. I got great photo updates, and when I picked my pup up, she was calm, tired (in the best way), and clearly loved her time there. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, Kara is it. Highly, highly recommend.

A typical day

At my daycare, your pup won’t just be sitting around—they’ll be playing, learning, and living their best dog life! I run a structured, safe, and engaging environment with activities tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. We do agility games, treat puzzles, and even bubble-chasing for high-energy fun. For the thinkers, I offer scent work games and basic obedience refreshers like sit, stay, and recall in a group setting. Calmer pups enjoy storytime, cuddle breaks, and relaxing with calming music during rest periods. I also love capturing the fun—so expect adorable photo updates from themed days like costume play, paw painting, or even birthday paw-ties (yes, with pupcakes). Whether your dog loves to zoom or prefers a snuggle, I tailor the day to make sure they leave happy, tired, and loved!
