I work part time so I have plenty of time to give your baby all the play time and attention they desire. If that's hanging out on the couch, walks, hikes or trips to the park or river.

I have a fenced yard, with a small Maltese mix furr ball. She loves to play with others but also knows how to chill. She will definitely keep your beloved company. We have several parks in walking distance to play fetch and also a canal for longer walks. We like to keep routine but also switch things up for more excitement. My little gets spoiled with only the best veggies and fruits. We are health nuts. "Crunchy"

Pet care experience

As a massage therapist for pets, I also help dogs relax, relieve tension, and improve their overall well-being. I grew up with dogs and farm animals, also fostered puppies for several years. I provide love, socialization, basic training, round-the-clock care, patience, with plenty of cuddles!

This was my first time having Kara sit for my dog. She was awesome and my dog was very well taken care as if he were her own. Will definitely be requesting jer services in the future.

There are animal lovers, and then there’s Kara. She isn’t just amazing, she’s a true empath with the most soothing energy, a kind spirit, and a soul that deeply connects with every creature she meets. Our livestock guardian dog, whose entire purpose is to protect our home from strangers, takes his job incredibly seriously. Yet, from the very first moment he met Kara, he welcomed her like an old friend. She is, without a doubt, his favorite person. Just saying her name makes his eyes light up with pure joy. Kara’s love for animals isn’t just a passion, it’s who she is. She is incredibly responsible, deeply intuitive, and genuinely devoted to their well-being. She follows routines flawlessly (even pet sitting our entire two-acre farm of many species!), pays attention to the smallest details, and ensures that every animal in her care is not just looked after, but truly nurtured. Whether she’s playing with your pup, giving them exercise, or simply offering comfort, she has a gift for healing souls and easing tension in a way that few people can. If you’re searching for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your pets, Kara is that person. She is responsible, caring, and selfless, always putting the needs of others above her own. You won’t find anyone more dedicated to the happiness and well-being of your beloved animals. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Beware! Kara will spoil your dogs. I can't say enough great things about her! She took exceptional care of my dog Coco, while I was away. From the start, she was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Coco was happy and well cared for. She followed all my instructions perfectly—feeding, walks, and even playtime preferences. When I returned, my dog was calm, well-exercised, and clearly had a great time. It’s obvious that Kara truly loves animals and treats them like family. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
