Knowledgeable, Dependable Pet Care

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE FOR IMPORTANT SCHEDULING INFORMATION In 2013 I began training as a full-time professional dog walker while living in Chicago. A few years later I decided to become a sitter on Rover, and have since served nearly 75 households. I have worked with many different breeds of all sizes and temperaments, and am currently offering walks and drop-ins for dogs, or drop-ins for cats. I'm currently in law school and can only accommodate one visit per day and clients that are flexible with visiting times. I have found that pets can handle the absence of their parents much better if they are receiving personal love and attention that only an experienced sitter can provide. It would be my pleasure to keep your dog and/or cats company while you're away or on vacation, and make sure they're getting the devotion, happiness, and exercise they need and deserve.

Once again Kara took great care of our cats. She goes out of her way to play with them and give them a bit of human interaction while we’re gone. Makes leaving them worry free!

Safety, trust & environment

I require a meet and greet with all new clients at their home before I will book a sit. This is to ensure that I'm a good fit for the household and that we have the chance to discuss the needs of your pets in detail.

Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet is prone to any separation anxiety (hunger strike, stomach problems, accidents, etc) please let me know in advance so we can make a game-plan on how best to ease their symptoms.

A typical day

In addition to regular drop-in or walking duties, I will also happily administer any medications/injections your pet may need. I have had past experience with diabetic animals, and if you have an elderly dog that needs assistance with stairs I'm capable of assisting dogs that weigh no more than 50 lbs, or if they need to be fully carried no more than 30 lbs.

PLEASE NOTE: I am not able to offer recurring (weekly) visits at this time. My walking and drop-in services are best suited for dog and cat clients who are flexible with visiting times, and need someone to care for their pets while they are temporarily away or on vacation. I'm not currently able to accommodate more than one visit per day to a client's home.
