Pet care experience

Loving, active woman w/ experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I grew up in a family that loved and rescued animals, so I learned from an early age to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and compassion. My mom co-owned a pet sitting company in Maple Ridge, where I regularly helped with dog walks, in-home visits, overnight care, and looking after everything from dogs and cats to farm and exotic animals. I also worked at a veterinary clinic, which gave me valuable experience handling pets in a professional setting and recognizing the importance of their health, safety, and comfort. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and experienced hands.

Kara has great energy and my dog became her bestie immediately. She was very punctual and sent cute pics with her reports. Will definitely ask for her help again.

Schedule

My schedule is fairly flexible as I work from home and my two kids are typically in daycare and school - unless it’s summer. During summertime they are home with me and LOVE to help assist with pet care. I have a reliable vehicle and will do my best to work around your schedule.

A typical day

We live in the Kanaka area of Maple Ridge, it’s a great neighborhood, lots of trails and beautiful areas to explore, right by rivers and sports fields so I normally go for walks or runs around the area. If your dog likes to run then I can take them for a rollerblade in good weather. My family enjoys getting outside and playing with a ball or just relaxing outside, and for the evenings we enjoy a good movie and some couch time.

No breed or size preference. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs with complex behavioural issues. I am comfortable working with you and your dog and following any guidelines you have.
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.
