Safety, trust & environment

I know how important it is to keep dogs secure. I have worked very hard with my own dogs that they have good recall when off leash. When taking my dogs out on walks I make sure to be aware of my surrounding and possible danger. I have invested in the best harnesses to make sure they are secure. In my own home we have a very secure fence to ensure their safety.

Information Kara S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the temperament of you dog before booking. I have experience with correcting behaviors if dogs pull during walks. Also let me know if your dog has separation anxiety.

A typical day

I love taking my dogs to the beach. I also play fetch with them multiple times a day. I have taken them on hikes in the mountains and to play in the snow during the winter.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals all my life. I love seeing the joy when my dogs are on adventures. Showing dogs new places and letting them sniff all the things brings me happiness. The past few years I have adopted a few bulldog and also fostered bully breeds. I have experience with potty training, giving medications (both pill and injections), and currently have a special needs bulldog with Spina Bifida (she wears a diaper and is changed every few hours).

Kara was awesome. She took care of our dogs last minute. They had such fun time. Will definitely see her again next time we need.

Kara was exceptional! She went above and beyond sending pictures and updates for us. She even gave our pup a toy of hers that he loved. Will 1000% come back for all our doggie needs :)
