I Kara-lot for pets!

Pet care experience

As a fellow animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to know that your babies are in good hands while you are busy and away. I have 15+ years experience as a cat and dog owner, including training (i.e. potty training and basic commands like sit, stay, down, speak, paw, heel etc), basic care including feeding, watering, exercise, and play, giving medications in both pill and liquid forms, and basic grooming. I also have 5+ years of experience caring for other people's pets while they have been away on vacation or for work. I understand that each animal has their own personality and needs and I look forward to the opportunity to meet your pet and get to know them! For me it is about building trust and a strong relationship so that your pet can enjoy the time we spend together. A happy pet makes a happy home!

Our elderly blind dog was very comfortable at Kara's, even through a heat wave! My husband and I will definitely reach out to Kara next time we need a place for Jessie to stay.

Kara did an excellent job taking care of our mini zoo. She kept us updated on everyone, and even got to pet our elusive kitty. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We definitely felt much better knowing our pets were in such good hands.

Kara did a great job caring for my dog Annabelle while I was away. She made the both of us feel comfortable. My dog has aggression issues with other animals and Kara was a pro about handling the interaction between Annabelle and own kitties at home. I received daily photo updates which I appreciated. Highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! I hope to work with her again. :)

Information Kara P. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if your dog has any behavioral issues such as frequent barking, separation anxiety, chewing, as well as any history of aggression and/or biting. Prevention of property damage and safety for your dog as well as myself is of utmost importance. This does not necessarily mean I would not be willing to care for your dog, but communication and knowledge of your dog's complete needs are essential. I have more experience with medium and large breed dogs than small breed dogs but have no issue caring for any. I have personally owned an English Pointer and 4 Rottweilers and shared a home with a friend who owned a Black Labrador, Flat Coated Retriever and a Sheltie. If your pet will be staying in my home, I will also need to know that your dog will be okay with my 3 cats. I do always put up a gate to separate the cats from any dogs, but there may be interaction through the gate. Puppies and dogs with any behavioral problems staying in my home will need to be in a crate or kennel while I am not here as well as at night. I cannot accept any dogs that bark frequently and are not potty trained. Additionally, due to space, I can only board one dog in my home at a time. If you have more than one dog, I am more than happy to care for them in your home. IMPORTANT: I do work a full time job. My schedule is generally 7a-4p Mon-Thu and I work from home Fri 6:30a-12:30p. If your dog requires frequent potty breaks during the day, I would not be a good fit.

A typical day

I will devote as much time and energy to a dog as he or she needs! I love to stay active and enjoy taking long walks so if your dog is high energy, then I would love to take them along! If your dog is more of a lazy bones couch potato, I am also more than happy to snuggle up in front of the TV too!
