Information Kara T. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything that you do special with your dog, I would like to know to make them more comfortable. Also, if they have any allergies or special needs let me know.

A typical day

I have two full laundry baskets full of toys that we play with. They can see what they like the best, we also have a big doggie only couch with some blankets to cuddle and watch TV before bed. All dogs are kenneled at night for safety purposes.

Pets

We love dogs, and are very patient!

Pet care experience

I am a full time high school teacher with a lot of doggie love to give. My husband is a stay at home dad so he is home to watch the dogs during the day. I had a dog previously that has passed away from cancer. I had to administer IV fluids myself, so I am used to a little extra care if necessary. Our dogs are all adopted, love everyone and are sweeties. We have a teenage daughter that loves dogs more than anything. She has wanted to be a vet since she was 3. My friends have called me “the dog whisperer”. I have more patience than most people can imagine possible, and will help your fur baby feel right at home! Unfortunately I don’t take unfixed females. My apologies. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask! Thank you! For my new clients, please use the referral link to save a little money! https://www.rover.com/sit/karat01673

Kara and Jim are amazing! They were so flexible with me in setting up a meet & greet promptly to ease my mind. I was nervous leaving my pup with new people, since she is a bit wary of strangers. Jim was so good with slowly integrating her with the other dogs. He provided me with updates and pictures, which really eased my mind. My dog had a great time and I’m looking forward to her staying with them again soon!

Kara and her husband were wonderful! Quick to respond, sent pictures and videos during the stay, and understanding. My dog looked like he had a blast and still wanted to hang out when I went to pick him up.

My little Boston loved playing with Oreo. Loved the video and photo updates.

Jim has a pretty good system down when Kara is at work. He slowly integrated my dog with theirs. Bella was able to roam around, not stuck in a cage. As she met the other two dogs, I detected interest, not aggression. He gave her time to explore the her area by herself. As well as photos and updates, Jim called me to collaborate on how to get her to eat her dry food. Chicken soup worked! Great tag team.
