Pet care experience

Happy dog, Happy Life!

I do not accept pit bulls. I love watching other people's fur babies. Walks, check-ins or daycare available. I have a large fenced in yard that is very secure. I cannot remember a time in my life when I did not have a beloved dog in it! I always had dogs growing up and now I own a Cathoula Leopard Dog that is my world! He is a rescue and the best additions to our family. I don't think I have ever met a dog I didn't like and I have experience with multiple breeds/sizes/temperaments of dogs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and dog-sit your four-legged friend! Feel free to contact me to ask me any other questions.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 24, 2026

It was Cleo’s first time at daycare with Kara, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. Cleo had several playmates to keep her company, but she especially loved spending time with Kara’s sweet dog, Loki. Watching them run and play together in the backyard through the photos and videos Kara sent throughout the day truly warmed my heart. What meant so much to me was seeing how happy, comfortable, and well cared for Cleo was. Every update showed her having the time of her life, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing she was enjoying herself while I was away. The best proof of how wonderful her day was came at pickup time—Cleo didn’t want to leave! She was having so much fun with Loki that she wanted to keep playing. As a pet parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than seeing your dog so happy and eager to stay. Thank you, Kara, for treating Cleo like part of your family and making her first daycare experience such a positive one. I felt completely at ease leaving her in your care, and I will absolutely be reaching out to you again in the future. Highly recommended! ❤️🐾

Kara was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and she made sure Meelo was having a great time. We boarded him for 11 days and got fun pictures and videos of him every day. It was a great comfort to have our dog stay with Kara’s family. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

We had an amazing experience with Kara! We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned. We would absolutely recommend Kara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking again!
