I can't wait to meet your fur baby!

Pet care experience

I really love caring for animals. I think that each one is different and special. They are my therapy. I have always had pets of my own - and have taken care of friends' pets in the past. I'm very experienced in taking care of all ages, including very young with frequent bottle feedings and baths. With a degree in Early childhood Education, I treat animals with the same high-quality care as I do with young children. I am very am happy to feed, play with, and clean up after your fur baby while you are away. I believe that it is so important for the owner of the animal(s) to feel at peace while they leave their pet(s) at home. ALL pets need attention and comfort, as we humans do, and I will provide that for your pet.

Kara was amazing, as always! My cats absolutely love her and she goes the extra mile to make sure they and my apartment are taken care of and regularly spends more than the allotted half hour with them! Highly recommend.😊

Kara did a great job taking care of our dogs. I forgot to leave enough food out for her and she ran to the store for us to get more food for the dogs. Will use her again.

Kara exceeded my expectations in every way. Kara was a sweetheart and promptly scheduled a meet and greet prior her first visit. She took the time to understand each dogs needs and personalities. During her visit, she kept me informed with photos and updates throughout the process. When I got home my babies were very happy! I am glad I found Kara to help me taking care of my babies! Without a doubt, I highly recommend Kara :)

Information Kara S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pets have any health issues or medications that need to be given by me so that I can be ready to keep a log of it, as well as if your cat or dog tends to be a runner so that I can take extra care when opening doors.

A typical day

We will go on walks in my tree-covered backyard space as well as the sidewalks and spacious dog parks near the duckpond at my complex.
