A Home Away from Home

Pet care experience

Hi! My names Kara and I have had pets my entire life (30+ years) I am currently mom to two cats, Clawde & Ozzy and one dog, Kodiak. Kodiak is always eager to make new friends! I have experience with both cats and dogs from babies to seniors. I can offer a large, fenced in yard for supervised playtime, and I have separate rooms for feeding, if necessary. I am now working from home full-time so I am available to give attention and multiple potty breaks/walks throughout the day. I have a 1/2 mile trail near my home that most dogs love to walk. I also love to play with cats, and I'm not afraid to scoop litter if I need to! *SAME DAY MODIFICATIONS WILL BE THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE AND CONTACT ROVER SUPPORT* I promise that I have nothing but the best interest for your furry family members, and promise to be their temporary best friend until you get home :) I provide daily pictures and a brief summary of how the day went. I am also happy to have a meet and greet just to make sure your dog would be comfortable in my home. :) Drop off and pickup preferences: Prefer nothing earlier than 7 AM and nothing later than 930 PM (weekdays). But I am happy to discuss special circumstances. Drop ins can be as early as needed! **I only take in one client in my house at a time. A client may have multiple dogs/cats, but I will not take multiple pets from different clients during one stay. I feel that this is best for your peace of mind, as well as the safety and stress of every animal I care for**

Bailey has fun when she's with Kara and Kodiac. She loves to play and run as much as Kodiac does.

Kara was a most gracious host & my dog really enjoyed herself at her house. I will definitely use her again & would highly recommend her to anyone! I had total ease of mind while I was away with daily updates & pics. She was fantastic!

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! We were so nervous about leaving our Kali (5 mo) behind while we went on vacation. We met Kara for the initial meet and greet and saw how she and Kodiak got along so well with Kali, and vice versa. It put our minds at ease and then while on the trip, we got frequent updates with pictures. Kali even made friends with Kara’s kitten! Kara kept Kali happy and safe, and kept us well informed. And Kodiak and the kitten kept our girl woooorrn out (in the best way possible)! We will 100% have Kara watch over Kali for our next vacation!

A typical day

I live in a side-walked neighborhood with a big loop which takes about 15-30 minutes to walk. I also have a 1/2 mile trail nearby that is pretty flat that is fun to walk. I also have a fenced in backyard so running around and playing with dog toys and balls is something that can be done off-leash. My dog prefers to play fetch, but I will cater to any dogs favorite activity.
