A True Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I became a dog sitter because of my love for dogs. I believe that dogs deserve the same love and care that we give to our family members; after all, they are an important part of our families. I take pride in providing individualized care and attention for your pet when you can’t be there. I will come to your home for daily visits, potty breaks, exercise & dog walking, and I provide weekend pet sitting. I also provide transportation to save you time by taking care of that vet or grooming appointment. Relax, enjoy a stress free weekend or longer vacation. Even if you are just working long days and can’t get home to let your dog out, you can depend on me. Have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in the reliable, capable hands of a professional pet sitter or dog walker. About this sitter: I became a pet sitter because of my love for all animals. I believe that our pets deserve the same love and care that we give to our family members; after all, they are an important part of our families. I take pride in providing individualized care and attention for your pet when you can’t be there. I will come to your home for daily visits, potty breaks, exercise & pet walking, and I provide weekend pet sitting. I also provide transportation to save you time by taking care of that vet or grooming appointment. Many veterinarians recommend that pets stay in their own homes when their owners travel for business or pleasure. After all, we're all most comfortable when we’re in our own familiar surroundings, eat our regular diet, and sleep and play in our accustomed places. And when your pets stay home, there’s no risk of them acquiring diseases from other animals in a kennel. Relax, enjoy a stress free weekend or longer vacation. Even if you are just working long days and can’t get home to let your dog out, you can depend on me. Have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in the reliable, capable hands of a professional pet sitter or dog walker. * Over 14 years of pet sitting experience * Pet Owner Why I love dog sitting I have owned a dog since childhood. I began a dog walking service at the age of 9 with the assistance of my mom. I offically began my own pet sitting service in April 2000. Since then, I have been providing quality pet services to family, friends, and clients. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication.

Excellent customer service. Chipper personality. She is very loving and kind. She is a great sitter and I highly reccommend Kara. My dogs instantly took to her and that says alot because they are usually shy around strangers.

Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet

For Dogs * Pet's age - This helps me determine how much energy they have and how much playtime is needed. * Pet's history - Is there anything that makes the pet aggravated? (For some rescued animals, certain things cause trauma and anxiety; so this let's me know what to expect when it comes to behavior. * Pet's attitude towards kids and other animals. * Behavior on walk - Does the dog need space from other dogs and people? * Feeding Schedule - Do you feed your dog at certain times or is the food left out for the dog to dine at will? * How often the dog needs to go out. * What commands does the dog know (sit, stay)? Do you have hand signals associated with those commands? ******************************************************************************* For Cats * Does the cat have a favorite toy? * How often does the litter box need to be changed? * What is the cat's meal schedule? * Does the cat like to hide? * What is the cat's attitude towards kids

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog The time I spend with each pet depends on the individual needs of the owner and pet. Extra house-sitting services For an additional fee, I am willing to do additional tasks at client's homes while they are away (e.g., water plants, bring in the mail)?
