Safety, trust & environment

I very mindful of your home and will leave things as is or as instructed. Our pets can sometimes have accidents and I will always clean up in anyway needed. I try and send you lots of photos of your pet(s) and provide updates. I am the first to reach out if there is anything of concern or in need or urgent attention. My goal is to leave your pet happy, healthy and ready for a nap by the end of my visit.

Information Kara O. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs or preferences, maybe a favorite toy or routine just let me know and I will be happy to accommodate

A typical day

If your dog needs lots of stimulation I am happy to play lots of games like fetch and tug-o-war. I am happy to take your dog to the park or for a hike during longer bookings. For those senior dogs I can provide a light walk and conversation. I listen to the needs of each pet and what they are telling me to provide the best one on one time with every pet.

Pet care experience

Every dog has their own unique personality. I take great joy in getting to know every dog I meet and spend time with. They are not just pets they are our companions our best friends, our family. I have two dogs and two cats of my own so I understand how hard it can be to leave them and know that they will be well cared for. I look forward to helping to ease some of the stress involved with that. I have many years experience with special needs dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I would love to care for your pet in anyway I can.

As always Kara was amazing with Izzy!! We are so grateful to have found such a great sitter for our girl! We know Izzy is beyond well taken care of when she is in Kara's care! We love that they adore each, and Kara is fantastic with taking lots of pics and sending great updates and notes ☺️ we would give her 10 stars 🌟 if we could!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
