Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any medical issues, needs, or special preferences you have for your pup. Having knowledge of their typical daily routine (feeding, walks, etc.) is helpful as well.

A typical day

I love to play fetch or take walks with dogs for whom I’m caring. My backyard and house setup provides a great venue for dogs who love fetch!

Dog lover w/a flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

I'm a huge dog lover who will literally go out of her way to meet any and all dogs. I'm not joking...ask my friends! I would love to provide a fun, caring environment for your pup while you’re away! You shouldn’t have to worry about your dog while you’re traveling, and I’d be happy to help you out by taking care of your four-legged friends. I recently said goodbye to my chocolate lab, whom I had for over 13.5 years, but I still have lots of love to give to pups.

Kara was a great sitter for our dog, Kevin. She was super communicative and took great care of him. We would absolutely have her watch him again!

Kara was absolutely phenomenal with my 7.5 month old lab puppy!!! Her communication was great and she gave me updates throughout the stay. Kara was extremely loving, caring, thoughtful and sweet with my pup! And I can tell my dog had the best weekend ever!! I am so appreciative of her services. Highly recommend booking with Kara! ❤️

Kara was great with Thyme. She welcomed him into her home and made sure he was comfortable right from the start. She send regular photo updates and I could tell Thyme had a great time.
