Dog/farm/small animal care
Pet care experience
I have cared for dogs in my household since childhood and have experience house and farm sitting a variety of animals. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs, energetic and bubbly to shy rescue dogs, chihuahuas through great danes. I am comfortable and competent in administering topical and oral medicine and working with special needs dogs. I have years of equine and large animal experience, and I currently own two rescued rabbits (I am open to small animal sitting as well).
Reviews
Kara is a very attentive and responsible dog sitter. She has watched my animals numerous times throughout the years. She is proactive and caring, and always sends me frequent updates and pictures of my dogs and cats while I'm gone. Kara is very detail oriented and always follows through with special instructions I leave her (one of my dogs is more high maintenance than the average pupper). She can handle puppies through senior dogs, and is very cognizant about providing any medications or special foods my animals may need. My dogs are always very happy to see her, and I highly recommend her services!
Kara is great with animals and truly cares for their safety and well being. She's very mindful of each individual animal's needs and treats others' animals as if they are her own. She's cared for my canaries, parakeets, and finches. She's also great with rabbits, and understands their unique needs. I'll definitely ask her to care for my animals again!
Kara is a committed life-long animal lover. She has a wonderfully selfless heart that enables her to put something special into her care of her charges. They get intelligent and informed yet thoroughly kind attention; every bit of what they want AND what they need.
Kara has watched our dogs many times and has been great! She is responsible, detail-oriented, and our pups love her :) We would definitely recommend her services!

Safety, trust & environment
I can provide house/farm sitting (with equine care references) on weekends, or week days if my work schedule wouldn't conflict with the house/farm schedule. For walks, I would be happy to take a leisurely stroll or go for a jog, depending on your pet's needs.
Information Kara O. would like to know about your pet
What is his/her daily routine like? What training cues does your dog respond to? Any medical concerns I should be aware of? Does your dog enjoy interacting with other dogs, animals, children? Does he/she overheat or get chilly easily?
A typical day
I am happy to do a variety of activities with your pet, be it reading a book or watching Netflix on the couch with them, or taking them for a jog outside.
Services

Availability
I currently work full time during the week, 8-5 pm so have weekends available but if an evening drop in or walk is requested during the week I could certainly make that work.
