Availability

I am a dog trainer so my schedule is very flexible, I can make my own hours. A typical work day ranges from 2-8 hours away from home but most days I can work from home. I can take breaks at any point during the day for drop in visits for a walk, meals or just to see how they are doing. In some cases I can bring your pet with me to work.

Kara is very timely in picking my pup up for walks and is great with him even though he is usually super crazy on walks!

I returned home to two very happy, relaxed and well fed dogs - one a senior and the other a 10 month old lab pup, so Kara had to meet the needs of two very different dogs - and appears to have done so very well. House looks great and we will definitely ask for Kara again. Very happy.

Kara is a warm, giving, patient and perceptive pet sitter. My boy Buddy apparently followed her around all day and soaked up all the love and attention that she so generously gave to him. She was very communicative sharing photos and updates which meant a lot to me! I look forward to engaging her to care for my pet again soon! Thank you Kara!

Kara came to meet Cairo before walking him. He seemed to like her right away. She took him for a two mile walk even though it was snowing sideways so I am very grateful for that! Will definitely rebook :)
