Pet care experience

Your pet and I will be best friends

Howdy! I have loved and taken care of dogs and animals my whole entire life, including at my grandparent's ranch that consists of countless different types of animals. I have been on Rover and other sites for over seven years now, which has given me experienced working with different kinds of dog breeds and other animals. Currently I have neutered a neutered hound mix, an orange and white spayed cat, a spayed calico cat, and a bearded dragon. I live in Lago Vista, but I'm open to jobs in North Austin or Cedar Park area. Due to drive around the lake, I am unfortunately not available for the Lakeway/Spicewood/Bee Cave area. I'm a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin where I got my Bachelor's in Human Development and Family Sciences. I currently work a full time job with Toyota, which means I'm mostly available in the mornings and evenings. I hope to be able to take care of and hang out with your wonderful pets!

We absolutely love her! She’s always on time, takes amazing care of both our dogs and our home, and truly treats them like her own. We really appreciate the thoughtful updates and all the pictures she sends—it gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend!

Kara did an amazing job cat and house sitting for us! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was as happy as comfortable as possible while we were away. Kara was able to handle giving the cat meds as well!

I love knowing about your fur babies beforehand! I especially love to know if your pet has any special needs, if they're active or like to chill, or anything else important that you think I would need to know.
