Dog lover: bigger is better!

Pet care experience

I've lived with 2-3 dogs at a time my whole life (and currently just got a puppy). My largest dog was a Labrador, smallest was a terrier mix. I've taken care of a dog post-leg amputation and requiring oral meds daily. I pride myself on being able to teach dogs new tricks - favorites have been beg, roll over, and crawl. I've dog-sat at relatives homes and had friends dogs stay in my own home. Bonus: my sister is a vet so I have quick and easy access for any questions or concerns, and I'm a nurse practitioner so I have my own extensive medical background.

Kara was very communicative and timely! I would definitely have her walk our pup again in the future.

Kara and Travis were fantastic hosts to our 10-month poodle. Their lovely dog was also a great companion and playmate. They were also very responsive and accommodating. Thank you Kara and Travis for make us feel that our dog was well taken care of!

I have a puppy who is crate-trained. I have boarded friend's dogs in our apartment without a crate, which is also fine. We like to take our fur baby out to the pet store to browse, the dog park every afternoon, and short morning and night walks.

Information Kara L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs ahead of time (meds, diet, daily habits). It's also fun to know what words and tricks your furry friends will recognize and react to!

A typical day

A typical day would normally include at least a morning and night walk with a visit to some kind of park in the afternoon to let out all their energy! A quick and easy outing I like is the cedar river trail, but I would also be interested in taking dogs on a real hike! I also really enjoy taking dogs to the pet store and letting them feel like they're shopping. Warning: let me know if you want to limit the amount of treats your dog gets. If not, I enjoy having dogs dogs do many tricks for many treats

I'm currently working 3-4 days a week while my husband also works 3-4 days a week as well. Daikon usually goes on 3-4 walks a day and is fine staying home alone for several hours so if this sounds like your pet, its the perfect fit!
