Compassionate Dog Lover

As a lover of animals, I find working with dogs to have purpose and meaning. I love witnessing the spirit and personalities of each individual dog and getting to know them and their needs. I have cared for English Springer Spaniels, German Shepherds, Huskies, Vizslas, Basset Hounds, and Mixed Breeds. Presently, I live in a quiet neighborhood adjacent to a variety of trails and a dog park. Typically I like to take dogs for long walks (2-6 miles), however I also take into consideration their personal abilities (age, size, health, energy levels etc). I do have my own border collie mix named Stevie Nicks! She is 7 years old and my running buddy!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home as I would in my own home. For house sitting, I do aim to leave your home in better condition than when I arrived. I frequently launder linens, wash dishes, sweep, vacuum and mop before leaving a care site.

Kara took great care of our puppy. It was a pleasure to have her. We hope she’ll be available in the future.

Kara’s care was 5 stars! She was very communicative and thoughtful and at each visit took a photo. We would not hesitate to ask her sit again for Jan & Sally. Thank you!

It was so reassuring to have Kara checking in on my fur babies daily and making sure everyone was accounted for!

I would like to know from you the nature and tendencies of your dog (separation anxiety, energy levels, special quirks etc.). I have no breed preferences but I have experience with English Springer Spaniels, German Shepherds, Huskies, Vizslas, Basset Hounds, and Mixed Breeds.
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.
