Experience animal care taker and lo

Pet care experience

Will provide the best care for your pup and give you daily updates. I have experience with handling and taking care of dogs. I went to National K9 Learning Center in Columbus Ohio for learning about dog behavior to become a trainer. I am certified in basic and advance obedience, behavior modification and utility training. I have worked in a dog kennel as a kennel technician therefor I know about handling anything for your dogs specific needs such as foods, feedings, medications, some quirks dogs have. I have experience with all types of tools to handle your pup or take for a walk if there are specific ones being used. I currently only train with my personal dogs for sports and work for a dog groomer bathing/nails. Pet sitting is my main job!

Kara is a exceptional pet sitter. She is a great with communication and keeps me informed how my pups are doing while I'm away. She is kind and professional and I take great comfort knowing my dogs are always well handled and protected in any situation while in my home or while out on walks. I have a pitbull and a hound which are a absolute handful on leash and Kara handles the pulling and craziness like a absolute champ.

Kara did an excellent job dropping-in to take care of Blu while I was away at work for the day. She took him on multiple walks and even played with him out in the backyard tiring him out. Kara recognized the needs of a 4 month old German Shepherd puppy and made sure he got what he needed. She was great with providing me photo and video updates during her visit making me feel comfortable knowing how he was doing. Highly recommend and will use again in the future!

Awesome. Very professional. You can tell she loves dogs. Jack is a 104# Eastern European long-haired Shepherd bred for security. He is very suspicious of strangers and makes it known. He warmed up to Kara quickly and now has a new friend. I highly recommend Kara!

Kara was simple awesome with my puppy. She was prompt and I felt super comfortable leaving her with my baby. He can be quite the handful but she had no problems with him at all. It is obvious that she absolutely loves dogs. I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of Finn!
