Information Kara M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences with certain people. I am familiar with breeds that like attention but want to also be aware of pets that need more space.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with them, taking them for walks, playing in our backyard, and playing with toys in the house. I’ve always loved having pets in the house as they provide great companionship and I especially love giving them pets and snuggles.

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I treat every pet like family, taking time to learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs. I offer patient, loving care so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 Recently my sweet dog passed away. I loved her for 14 years and although I’m not ready for a new dog, I’m super excited to take care of yours!

Kara and her family were amazing with my husky! They had him for 5 days while we were out of town and I have nothing but great things to say about them. My boy was well taken care of, he was happy and communication was consistent (something I highly appreciated) They took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. We totally recommend her!

Togo was happy and well cared for! Kara and her family made him feel right at home and I didn’t have to worry about him at all.

Kara is amazing with animals! I have witnessed her care for many animals, and she is always so gentle, loving, affectionate, and engaging. Kara has watched my dogs on many occasions, and I always know they are in capable and loving hands. My dogs are always so delighted to see her! She is also easy to communicate with, has a clean house, and is incredibly responsible and reliable. I highly recommend Kara as a responsible and loving caregiver!
