Information Kara M. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedules, specific triggers, any preferences they have. Also what do you use to walk them leashes, harnesses, muzzles, collars, good off leash or on leash. And any allergies that they may have.

A typical day

I would walk your dogs to the ends of the earth, dog enjoy pretty much anything with a human. I would meet your dogs needs to whatever it may be; rub downs, walks,runs,sniffing around. I typically wake up feed the pups, drink coffee then head out for adventure time where we get to go potty and get sniffs.

Pet care experience

Hi there My name is Kara. I just lost both of my large breed dogs that I had for 14 years, I miss big dogs so much. I currently work for Military families doing Respite care for children with disabilities. I tend to stay pretty flexible with availability. In 2012 I got my certificate for Dog Training. I previously worked for Wag! Dog walking, and Petsmart at their doggy daycare. I also have educated my self about dogs my whole life. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Please let me know how I can accommodate you during your time away.

Thank you Kara for accepting my short notice request! I appreciate your communication regarding the pedi egg that Athena picked up. I think that was her way of telling me she missed me. I appreciate your reliable and punctual visits with feeding, walking, and caring for Athena. I look forward to you caring for Athena in the future! Thank you, Connie
