Pet care experience

Experienced Puppy/Senior Caregiver

Reliable, flexible, and loving! I am available 7 days a week for in-home sitting, drop-in visits, daily walks or quick potty breaks, tailored to your pet's needs. ​Having raised animals my entire life—including four dogs and cats from newborns until senior years, I understand the unique care required for every life stage. I’ve personally raised them all with patience and love and can't imagine life without them. My current companion, Bones, is a happy 2-year-old American Bully I’ve raised, house trained while teaching basic social skills starting at 8 wks old ​I treat every pet like my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines you may have and will provide regular photo/text updates so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing.

I am diligent about following feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and performing safety sweeps of the home during every visit. I treat your home with the same care and attention I would my own, ensuring a safe, happy space for your pets

Kara has been a godsend! Always on time, my grand-dog adores her, and we could not be more satisfied.

Kara was amazing! She took care of our 5 big dogs for two whole weeks while we were out of the country. She stayed the night at the house at our request and spent most of the day at the house as well. Dogs were happy the whole time and she did a great job even getting them their vitamins and different amounts of food and toppings. She also kept the house tidy which is a full time job with 5 dogs! Was nice coming home to happy pups and a clean house after two weeks. Definitely would use her again and recommend to anyone!

It's important for me to know any details regarding leash manners, medication requirements, and favorite comfort items. Knowing if your pet has any allergies or anxieties helps me to stay prepared allowing them to stay healthy and happy!
