Safety, trust & environment

my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!

House Sitting • Jun 20, 2026

Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!

In my experience, Kara is very well informed on the animals she watches and makes sure she sticks to what the owners would like to happen for their animals. She’s very outgoing and makes sure she’s on top of communication with us when she watches our german shepherd. She’s beyond caring and loving to him, we love having Kara with us.

Leaving my animals behind when I travel is genuinely one of my least favorite things in the world. As a professional pet sitter and dog trainer, my dogs are everything to me, and handing them off to someone else isn't something I take lightly. Kara has watched them for me many times over the last couple of years and every single time I leave knowing they are loved and in good hands. She is also exceptionally clean and respectful of my home. For anyone who treats their pets like family, Kara is exactly who you want.
