Experience With Difficult Dogs

Pet care experience

My name is Kara Linkonis, and I am the mother of an adorable 10 year old pit bull / boxer mix, a.k.a the biggest mush dog on the planet. My parents were breeders turned rescuers of bully breeds for the majority of my life. I have cared for over 15 litters of puppies as well as helped troubled dogs rescued from difficult homes and brutal fighting rings to recover physically and emotionally in order to be happily reunited with loving owners. My knowledge of training, walking etiquette, and pet care ranges from dogs of all ages and many breeds. If you are going on vacation and are looking for a pet sitter to care for your darling while you are gone or are simply need someone to walk them during times you are unavailable, I would love to work with you. If you have special instructions such as complicated diet, medication, or training techniques, I can follow them flawlessly. If you have an untrained puppy or a dog with difficult behavior, I can provide basic handling techniques for no extra charge to ensure smooth care while you are away. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and would be happy to play with and cuddle your dog as requested. I work from home, so my hours are very flexible and can be tailored to fit your needs.

Kara is devoted to her own dogs, showering them with love and affection. Her caring extends to all the pets she cares for and comes into contact with as if they were her own. The importance of affection, consistency, knowledge, and reliability are clear in how Kara handles those in her care.

Kara is a wonderful, caring person who is amazing with kids and animals. She takes wonderful care of my dog Charlie when she watches him and my cat who is super high maintenance. She's funny, punctual, thourogh and professional at all times. I recommend her for any type of walking, sitting and playing.
