Pet care experience
Post-dog mom, ready to help
Dog person through and through—I grew up with a chow/husky mix and spent the last five years as a very devoted dog mom to a chocolate lab/pit mix. Since then, I’ve been the go-to for friends’ dogs, whether that’s quick drop-ins or longer stays while they’re out of town. I’ve hosted multiple dogs at once (we used to joke my place was a “puppy palace”), so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I previously sat on Rover in Denver and am now in St. Pete, excited to get back to spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your dog like my own—expect regular updates, photos, and a happy, well-cared-for pup. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their pace.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
She's fantastic, fast, and flexible. She has helped me a few times and has always been great.
Kara is great! She was great with sending us updates and we could tell our dog enjoyed her time with her. Highly recommend!
She's awesome! Very much a dog lover and made sure that my doggie was safe and comfortable.
Kara is great! Updates me with daily photos and communicative. Also, very flexible with times when I was running late. Already rebooked because I know my baby is well taken care of!
Kara was great! She took good care of our little girl and provided lots of pictures!
I had an emergency come up and needed a very last-minute sitter for a night. I’m very anxious and protective about my dogs and have never booked a sitter without doing a meet and greet first, but Kara made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She offered to show me her apartment when I came to drop the them off and was just so warm and kind. 10/10 would book again- thank you SO much, Kara!

Schedule
I work 100% remote for a software company. I can easily pop out during the day between meetings/calls and am free to board pets when I am in town.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know your dog is family, and I treat them that way. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a large one-bedroom apartment (no other pets) near the pier with plenty of grassy areas for walks. I have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get lots of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. Dogs are absolutely welcome on the couch and bed here—this is a relaxed, safe environment where they can feel at home.
A typical day
I am pretty active and will be taking the pup(s) on regular walks around my neighborhood. Gotta get those steps in. Let me know if there is anything specific your dog likes and I can accommodate!
