Pet care experience

I have worked as a kennel technician for about 5 years before becoming a mom. In that time frame, I learned alot about caring for a variety of dog breeds. I furthered my knowledge to learn more about dog behavior and body language. I am comfortable caring for pups of any age. I have the time to give a lot of care and attention to your pet so they have the best experience while away from home.

Kara and her family are so sweet and nurturing. Couldn’t have chosen a better sitter for my pup. She kept in touch, with daily photos and updates, which made it clear that my dog was comfortable, safe, and happy. Highly recommend!

Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.

Kara was fantastic! I booked with her 2 days prior to our stay with her, and she was quick to respond. Our pup was so well taken care of that he moped when he got home! She sent us updates and photos multiple times a day, and sent him home happy, healthy and even with homemade doggie meatballs and toys she had gotten him! My son and I agree she will definitely be the first person we call when we need a sitter for our fluff ball again!
