Patient, caring, and communicative!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Kara. I’m a lifelong animal lover of all shapes and sizes. Over the last few years I’ve been wanting to adopt my very own fur friend🐶🐱, but living alone and traveling ventures wouldn’t allow me to give him/her the attention and love they would deserve. So to get my animal fix, I watch and care for animals any chance I get! I’ve regularly volunteered at animal shelters over the last 10 years. I’ve been watching friends and family’s animals for over 18 years and grew up with family dogs and cats all my life. I’ve been on Rover going on 3 years. I’ve taken care of all different breeds and sizes from Boston Terriers to Pit Bulls and Great Danes, I love and care for them all like they were my own. My main goal in offering Rover services is to provide respectful and loving care to all animals, while helping pet owners feel peace of mind while they’re away. I communicate via the Rover app numerous times through out each day of a booking with photos and updates. Regular communication is extremely important to me. As someone who loves to travel, when you go out of town and aren’t able to bring your pet(s), I want you to know they are in safe and capable hands at all times so you can enjoy your vacation or time away as much as possible. :)

Kara is great with Pidgey. She walked her daily, had great communication with us and left our house very clean. We will be using her again in the future!

Kara is always so kind and careful with my senior dog Max. He's such a whiny old guy and she puts up with his shenanigans and keeps him happy for me! I feel better knowing he's getting loved on when I'm not around!

As for activities, I’m very active and can take your dog on a jog or nice walk easily. I own a home in the uptown area that has a beautiful fenced yard, so your pet will get plenty of attention and exercise :) I also live in a very walkable neighborhood that is great for getting out of the house, when needed. I’ve watched animals at their own home many times as well and am extremely respectful of your home at all times.

Information Kara R. would like to know about your pet

What is your animal’s normal routine? Does your dog chew on things when they’re bored? Should your dog be crated in the evening or during the day? Is there anything that upsets your dog’s stomach? Does your dog have experience being around pools? Does your dog mind being picked up or having their belly rubbed? Does your dog do well with other animals while on walks? Is your dog a runner and should I pay special attention when I enter or leave the house? Do you allow your animal on furniture? Does your animal sleep in bed with you or do they sleep on a dog bed?

A typical day

I love playing fetch or tug a war with dogs, and especially love chasing or being chased when they have the zoomies. And of course I can’t forget the cuddles, belly rubs, and long walks around the neighborhood. Anything your pet prefers as an activity, I’m able to do as well, just let me know!
