I’m up at the crack of dawn caring for my animals, so most of my days are very open to caring for your babies. I have had many careers, but this is the most rewarding and I’ve done it all my life. As a professional pet trainer and artist sometimes I will set aside time for dog shows, but I am available most anytime.

Safety, trust & environment

Let me know what your baby requires and I’ll see to keeping your pet happy and healthy while you’re away. My pets are all friendly and well cared for and should I add in home boarding, I have extra crates and rooms for those pets who need quiet time.

Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or schedules and if there’s any behavioral concerns. Have a list of likes and dislikes too. My goal is to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away!

A typical day

I’m a certified dog trainer so I love to play with dogs in a way that they learn new skills and exercise their brains and body. I love playing catch, and finding games as well as just good attention and belly rubs!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned, trained, showed, and bred animals since the 80s and a couple years ago I did additional schooling for dog training and currently use LIMA methods for dogs. I have several animals of my own with special needs and understand how important it is to keep a schedule. I have 12 ducks, ~40 chickens, 6 cats and 4 dogs.

Kara was so great! We could tell by the pictures she sent that Nyx and Fletcher were super happy she was there with them. We will 1000% have her first in mind next time we need some help with them!

Kara was very attentive to Sprockie's need and gave him time by being gentle so he could know her on his terms. Will use Kara again.

Kara did an amazing job with our animals while we were out of town. Would not hesitate to use her services again and would highly recommend her!
