Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Summer Camp.
I started my own dog walking and pet sitting business at eight caring for dogs, lizards, birds, cats and snakes. As an adult, I've worked as a dog trainer, doggy day care host, dog rehabber and in wild life rescue and rehab. I also have experience in trapping and rehabbing feral dogs. I have experience in giving oral medications, subcutaneous shots, as well as a plethora of behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, obedience, resource guarding and more. + I have my own private, insurance independent of Rover. + Every dog is treated as if they are my own. And I am happy to work on behavioral issues. I've successfully integrated several anxious, timid dogs that are normally too fear-prone for adventures into my pack. I work with dogs as a boarder and day care host full time and will spend as much time one on one with your dog as it takes for them to become fully integrated and happy with the pack.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shadow had a great time and we got plenty of updates with great pics and videos!
My dog had the absolute best time. I was able to chat with Kara a couple weeks in advance to decide if this was a good fit for him while I went to a wedding in the area. The updates of his days running around and getting pup cups, outshined my weekend at a wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains (which was great). If you’re on the fence about booking, reach out. If its a fit, your dog will likely have the best weekend of their lives.
Our pup Pippin had an incredible experience with Kara. He was a very happy pup!
Daisy had a great long weekend with Kara and her dogs. She had so much fun I think she was reluctant to come home with us.
This was Marmalade's first time away from us. We were worried because he had been moved around a lot before he came to us. Kara sent pictures and videos throughout the day. He had a wonderful time playing with the other dogs and running around on hikes. We are so happy we found Kara. We know he will be safe and happy whenever we need daycare.
Kara watched my golden retriever while I was in the area for a job training for about five days. She was very responsive via the rover app and answered all my questions we met up and my dog loved staying at her house. It was like dog summer camp for sure! he is pooped. I am happy and everything went excellent. I will use her again when I’m in the area.

Schedule
My happy place is taking a walk through the woods with dogs. Now that I own my own home, I can make that dream a reality. I do this full time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I own close to an acre of land with a fenced, play yard for the dogs where they can run in and out of the house at will. My home is filled with toys, bones, and dog beds. Unless requested by the owner, I don't crate dogs. They're free to sleep in the bed with me, lounge on the couch, or simply pick the floor. :)
Pets
A typical day
I love to hike and visit the local swimming hole. Exercising high energy dogs keeps me in shape! Although, if your dog is older or mellow we can simply chill. My house is filled with toys, safe chews, dog beds and blankets. There's also a dog park down the road we like to visit.
