About Kara R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost, I know inviting a stranger into your home is intimidating. Add in trusting a stranger with your fur child, I've been in your position! I pride myself in being reliable, trustworthy, respectful and caring, and put a lot of pressure on myself to go above and beyond for anyone I'm serving. My job has placed me in the hospitality and service industry for the past 10 years so I like to have that reflect in all aspects of my work, pet sitting is no exception. I plan to thoroughly review any information you have to share about your pet and their environment and ask any questions to gain any clarity about their care. I am more than willing to give your pet the exercise they need, whether indoors or outdoors, or just give them my full attention, kisses, cuddles and scratches if that's what they prefer! We can play, cuddle, settle into meal time, brush, explore your backyard or neighborhood, whatever you prefer, I am willing to accommodate! If you have any questions or requests, please don't hesitate to ask. Above all, thank you for trusting me with your babies!!!

Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you have any special requests or preferences for your dog, I'm happy to take anything into consideration and apply any special care your pet requires. I am very thorough so any information you provide, I will read though and apply, otherwise I will use my best judgement. What activity level is your dog? Do they like walks or hangouts? How are they with attention...do they like belly rubs, ear scratches or do they like to be left alone? Is there anything I should know about their temperament? Anything and everything helps!
A typical day
My dog loves to get sniff time so I am well versed in taking our time on a walk to enjoy nature and take in the sights and sniffs! I have a high energy border collie myself so I am no stranger to extended physical activity and game time. Let me know what kinds of things your pet likes and I'm more than happy to go above and beyond their normal routine. Maybe your pets like quality time over exercise? That's ok too! We can be couch potato's and watch their favorite show or even do a little photoshoot to send to you : )

Dog loving photographer!
Pet care experience
I've had pets my entire life of a variety of breeds Shih tzu/Maltese mix, 3 Golden retrievers, a Border collie/Australian shepherd mix and two border collies! I've also cared for dogs of friends and family ranging from Golden doodles, Saint Bernard (who is actually deaf!), German short haired pointer's and several other mixes, so I feel confident in handling several sizes and breeds. I've personally had two dogs who were taken from cancer so I unfortunately have extensive experience in administering a range of medication and caring just for ill pets in general (especially pertaining to chemo). I have a deep passion and love for animals, dogs specifically. I treat every dog with the same love and respect as I would my own. I have personal experience with having to trust sitters with my own furbabies and understand the stress and anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. As a bonus, I'm a full time work from home wedding and portrait photographer so I might snap a few high quality photos of your pet if I have time, on the house of course! : )
Reviews
Kara was so good with our Doberman puppy. Great environment and great personal care for our loved one who was still recovering from a surgery and she made sure to meet all of his/our needs. Will definitely use again!
Kara is amazing, responsive, great communicator and takes awesome pics of your pup. We will definitely continue to use her for all our puppy needs.
Kara was an absolute delight, my dog, Betti, loved her. Kara took great care of Betti, tending to her medication needs, helped keep her on her schedule and training regiment, played, and loved on her. Kara was timely, provided notes and picture updates. We hope to meet again!
Always on time and pup is happy after the walks. Thanks!
