Love your pets like my own

Pet care experience

I can't say enough about the people I have used on Rover, that if I can give families the amazing experiences I have received and be able to care for other dogs like mine have been take care of that is why I do this. Doggy Day care, an overnight or just a drop in I am in. I am two days back in the office now (usually Tuesdays and Thursdays) but super flexible and can come home over lunch if your doggie is with me during the week. I also have a huge fenced in backyard where your dog would be able to run around along with walks I take my dogs on. I have one daughter who is a teenager so she is not often here, but when she is she loves animals as well. Your pet would be treated just like one of my own. I have a six year old Labradoodle and a 2 year old shitzu...both who love other dogs and have zero aggression. They love to play with other furry friends. I do have two cats that are not bothered at all by dogs. I am extremely flexible with drop-off and pick up times along with if you need me to come to your house to check on your fur babies. Throughout my whole life I have been around all kinds of dogs and cats. I would love to take care of yours

Kara is fabulous with our dog! She is a great communicator and always keeps us updated with what our dog is doing and how things are going. I love her commitment to ensuring our dog is being well cared for as well as her flexibility. She’s the best!!

Kara is a Fairy Dogmother! She has cared for our boys on a few occasions. This stay was longer and I had no doubt they were in the best hands! She updated us daily, sent photos and I am positive they had so much fun on their vacation too with their furry friends and fabulous Kara!

Kara has taken care of our cat several times now. Our kitty loves her and you can tell that Kara takes great care in looking after her. This time while we were out of town there were two major snowstorms that made travel in the city almost impossible, but Kara still found a way to get over to our apartment and check on our pet. It gave us great peace of mind to know that she was there.

I care for all pets like they are my own. One of the lessons learned I learned from a recent client is to ask more questions to make sure I know if your doggie has anxiety, food issues etc that can help me with the care. If they are in my house they are treated like my two dogs and cats. If I am in your house, I respect your house like it my own.

Information Kara S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know their demeanor and any special treats, toys or what the dog enjoys doing the most. Also if your dog has separation issues, sensitive tummy or any other special needs let me know. I want to make every visit special

A typical day

When I am working - the dogs have the run of the house to play. If an overly sensitive dog or a dog that needs something they are in my room with me. I let them outside in my fenced in backyard and over lunch and evenings we spend a lot of time outside. If they are outside, I am outside. I love to play ball with the dogs, use a pool in the summer, play outside with them. My two dogs love to play and run with other dogs so they will love the company.
