Pet care experience

A professional who loves pets

I love pets. Taking care of pets makes me so happy. I just love helping people; I love volunteering, and I makes me happy when people trust me with something that is important to them and I love to show how responsible I am. When people are happy it makes me happy. Trust is important to me because trust is the first thing when it comes to dog sitting. And that's a little bit about me.

I would totally recommend Kara. I’m so thankful she made my fur baby’s birthday so special while we were out of town. I know my Shelby girl had soo much fun with them. Such a sweet family for sure.

We have never left our two golden's with anyone other than family before so this was a scary experience for us. We quickly got over that fear when we met Kara and her family. It was obvious that they loved dogs and knew how to care for them. Kara was great at communicating with us while we were gone and sent some great pictures of our "girls" having a great time. My wife and I even joked that it looked like they liked their new family too much and wouldn't want to come home. We would not hesitate to ask Kara to watch our girls in the future and, in fact have tentatively already done so. Thank you Kara and your girls for providing a great home away from home for our Bella and Abbey!!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my home by giving them plenty of attention and making them feel like they are part of the family. Making sure they are comfortable and happy is one of the most important to me when it comes to dog sitting

I would love to play games with your dog, check out new smells from around the neighborhood, and play around in my backyard, etc. I promise to give your dog a fun time.
