Pet care experience

Cheerful &Considerate Walker/Sitter

My name is Kara and I recently moved from Dallas with my husband and walked/pet sat in their homes dozens of dogs and cats. I love caring for fur cuties and long walks. I grew up with many dogs and dogsat since my childhood so have a great sense of many pet personalities. I am open for walks and other sitting needs per request. I want your pet to enjoy the walk or play as much as I do. I will not groom, but am happy to take on any pet related tasks per request. In my recent years, I have lived near cats and am loving their personalities too. I am relationship-centered, so I want to care for your furry family the way you do. Let me know in advance with instructions and I am happy to provide that same care!

Kara was fantastic. Our trip was almost a week and she did a great job with a 4 month old puppy. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we came back to a happy, healthy puppy. She gave him lots of great playtime and attention and left the house in fantastic shape, Her communication and attention to detail was also terrific. Will definitely use Kara again.

Kara was great with the dogs. She gave good reports to me daily and pictures as well. She was very prompt in her communication if i had any request or concerns.

Kara sat for our dogs in our home for 12 days and was absolutely the best. We have an enormous 5 month old puppy who is a wrecking ball and a very fragile 13 year old senior with two very different sets of needs. She was so considerate of both of their needs, exercise levels, structure etc and we came home and it was like we had never left. Our house was in better shape than we left it, the dogs were happy and calm, and the peace of mind Kara gave us while we were away was priceless. We cannot recommend her enough!

Kara was AMAZING! We were gone for a week and my dogs were loved and well taken care of. She was so responsive and sent me pics and updates everyday. My house was perfect and my dogs were happy. I am so thankful for her! She gave me peace of mind and I was able to enjoy my family vacation. As a crazy dog mom, I was nervous leaving my babies… I will never worry again since we found Kara! We will be traveling more now that I know my babies have her. Can’t rave enough!
