Best Rent-an-Aunt that Truly cares

I've been doggy sitting for friends and family for 10+ years. I have trained a few dogs with basic commands like: sit, paw, high five, sit pretty/beg, and lay down. I love animals and they generally love me. A friend was actually upset her 3 dogs were not excited for her return after being gone and spending a week with me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet(s), I will ensure your fur babies stay in their regular routines and will love and play with them like they are my own fur babies. I am very respectful of other's belongings and would care for your home as if it were my mother's house.

Kara was truly a saving grace! We had an urgent need for care and she came to the rescue. Kara stayed in the home with my 4 dogs and treated them so well. She shared photos daily and gave great reports of how they were doing. She was able to let me relax while I was away from my fur babies instead of being stressed about them. I would 100% recommend Kara for any of your needs!

As usual Kara took wonderful care of our Bogey! He can be an escape artist when he wants and did that (through no fault of Kara's) when the ladies who clean our house left a door open when loading their products and then again when the guys who cut our grass left the fence gate open; both times were on the same day! Kara was quick to share his shenanigans with me and I truly appreciated how professional she is and how seriously she wants to ensure Bogey is well taken care of!! I HIGHLY recommend her services for anyone who wants to feel secure that their furry babies are well taken care of!

We’ve had Kara watch our fur baby several times at the house, and as usual, she leaves it spotless, and always keeps us up to date with the pup. Thank you, Kara!!

Kara is amazing as usual! We’ve had her watch our pup multiple times now, and she always does a great job taking care of her. She always leaves our house in great shape, and keeps in touch everyday to tell us how the pup is doing. I highly recommend her, and will continue to have her as our go to dog sitter! 😊

Kara was absolutely amazing! We were gone for 5 days and had her stay at our house to watch our dog. She sent me photos everyday throughout the day, and kept me updated on how my fur baby was doing. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog, so I couldn’t ask for more. If you’re thinking of booking with her, I would highly recommend. We will definitely be booking with her for future vacations!

Schedule

I currently work my full time job during the week (T-F), which would require me to be away from your pups for a minimum of 10hrs plus commute time to DC. That being said, Im currently only available Friday evenings thru Monday evenings. Depending on your pups needs, there is a possibility of flexing my work schedule, however, that approval would be at the discretion of my supervisor), otherwise, I am more than willing to accommodate your pets routine.

I love all breeds, especially the big ol' drooly ones but I would like to know: How do they react to new strangers entering their home? Do they bark alot? (i.e. a talker?) Do they have any medical conditions or food allergies? What is their favorite activity? Do they know any tricks/commands? Do they have to work for treats? Are they allowed to have treats? Do they have any special quirks I should know about?
