Kara did such a great job! Our babies who can sometimes be shy really liked her. We will definitely recommend and use her again.

She was a life safer when we needed someone last minute to watch our 2 puppies! They were well cared for and she gave me updates on them throughout the day with pics and videos! Thank you 🩷💙

Schedule

My work schedule varies week to week. When I’m not working, I enjoy being outdoors and will bring your dog with me. Please let me know if your dog doesn’t do well with strangers or if you don’t want me to take them on hikes/long walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I will honor your requests! Please note that I have a 16lb maltipoo mix and an 18lb cat in my home. They can be separated from your pets if needed! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can walk your dog on a leash and there are plenty of parks nearby! If I am caring for your pet in my home and they are in need of a crate, I ask that you provide their crate. I cannot care for a female cat in my home if she has not been spayed.
