Fur Babies Deserve Love & Care!

Hello, hello! I’m Kara! 30 y.o. Current Fur Babes: Hooper (Hound/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix) and Ollie Joyce (Kitty) I have always owned dogs and cats! My first babe was a Dalmatian, followed by a Coon Hound/Lab mix that needed quite a bit of "old man" care as he got older. My first cat was named Tinsel and she lived to be nineteen-years-old. So I have plenty of experience caring for older animals. I have experience with dogs ranging from Yorkshire Terriers to Pitbulls to Great Dane mixes. I have a regular Monday-Friday job from 7:00 AM-3:00 PM. I sometimes work Saturdays as well but that won’t be common in the Summer months.

Kara is amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat with her. I know she loved them as her own and was at their home for them. She kept me informed and asked questions when needed. She gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely use her every time I need a dog/cat/ house sitter. I hate giving great reviews because she may not be available next time I need her ??.

Kara did a great job. Hank had never been alone overnight with anyone, but family. He loves Kara and I really appreciated all the cute pictures she sent me. She seemed to be extremely patient with all of my excessive instructions for caring for my baby. She also did laundry, cleaning and checked mail. Very nice!

Kara was so amazing! She followed all my instructions and gave my dogs the best care this weekend! When we got home our house was just as clean as we left it. She sent lots of picture updates also which made me happy! Would definitely use her again!!
