Here to give your fur baby love

Pet care experience

I've had pets (dogs and/or cats) my whole life and have even fostered dogs, helping find their forever homes. I own my own business and work by appointment only, allowing me to be home a good amount of time. I'm typically only gone a maximum of 4 to 6 hours at a time. I live in a dog-friendly condo in East Village just a 7 minutes walk to the waterfront. I'm here to provide whatever level of activity your dog needs! I have a small cavapoo of my own who will be 2 years old in June 2023. She gets along with all dogs no matter the age or size. I only care for one dog at a time so you can rest easy knowing your dog has my full attention. I always schedule meet and greets to ensure our dogs get along. However there are periodic times where I'm without my dog for 2 months at a time and your dog would be the only one with me. I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

Kara was an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter, and I would 100% use her services again and recommend her to all dog parents looking to leave their dog in safe, capable, and caring hands! Not only did my dog, Harry, have such a fun time with Kara and her adorable dog, August, but Kara made sure that I was updated on how and what Harry was doing while I was away. I truly appreciated Kara’s frequent and proactive communication, especially as someone who is new to San Diego and having to leave Harry for the first time since our move here. Thank you so much, Kara! We appreciate everything!

Kara is always great with my Winston and he loves his walks with her while I’m at work!

Kara is amazing! She sent me lots of pics and updates throughout the walk and helped me out on a very last minute notice. Shes so sweet and my pup loves her. I definitely recommend her!

Junot seemed happy and well cared for when we picked him up after a 10 day boarding. Kara was friendly and easy to communicate with. We liked that Junot had a buddy (Thor) to hang out with and we liked that Kara would only board one dog at a time.

I'm happy to watch your dog in my pet friendly condo or at your home. I'm really flexible. Because I have a dog myself I have dog proofed my entire apartment. I have things like crates and pet gates to section off if your dog needs it. I'm happy to follow any rules that you have for your dog at home. I welcome them on the couch if that's what's allowed or I will keep them off if you want to deter that behavior.

Information Kara M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know the activity level of your dog so I can plan accordingly as well as if you're open to me taking your dog to the park or not.

A typical day

I'm open to provide whatever type of stimulation you're looking for with your dog. I live an active lifestyle and would be happy to walk around the city or even drive to a nearby park. My dog has toys she would love to share! We're huge fans of ball play if that's what your dog is into!

I own my own business and take clients by appointment only. I recently moved to San Diego from Seattle and am rebuilding my entire clientele leaving me with lots of availble time to spend with your fur baby. When I have clients, I'm typically only gone for 3 to 4 hours at a time. My workspace is dog friendly so if you'd prefer I bring them to my work I can accommodate that as well. I live an active life and would be happy to take your dog on as many walks as they'd like. But also happy to veg out and cuddle if that's what your dog prefers.
