Animals Make My Loving Home Happier

Pet care experience

Hello I have been a personal caring multiple night overnight sitter for the same person who is an airline pilot for 8 years. He relocated to another state and since then I have cared for animals via word of mouth. I grew up on an organic farm in Texas where my life was all about animals. I grew up loving and respecting everything furry and animals were my first friends. We had mainly shepard dogs, cats chickens, goats, and horses as well as vegetable gardens. I have a tendency to want to adopt all animals so I care for other animals in my home instead! I do NOT work I sold an event business during covid of the home so I semi retired at 50 amd do an occasional Project . I will be around your furry friend most of the day. I do not have my own pets. I lost our family dog of 12 years to cancer 3 years ago so now I love on other people’s animals . Animals are a wonderful connection in life for me . I love caring for them and giving them many snuggles and outdoor time if they love and during their time with me , they are part of the family . I am a very outdoor oriented person I love getting out for exercise to stroll with them through neighborhoods and trails enjoying their sense of playfulness and curiosity. I have a favorite dog park also if your dog likes dog parks. If animals prefer to stay indoors and snuggle then I have two couches that are comfortable to snuggle up on as well as space for their favorite bed and toys and wonderful turfed backyard with 8 foot privacy fencing and a seperate and small fenced front garden with 8 feet fencing as well About the space: I am a home owner with 8 Foot privacy fencing surrounding the property. I have two separated outdoor areas... back and front yards. Animals are free to roam the home not crated unless you require crating Or your animals prefers crating .... that is up to you. I have animal bowls and toys for use if you like Animals bring so much Joy to my life and I am so looking forward to meeting yours! Thanks for listening, Kara

Kara is wonderful. I can’t say enough amazing things about her. She truly loves your pet while there with her. I have never left my Ciri with anyone and was very nervous that they would not love her enough, spoil her the way I do or include her in there family. Well Kara and her family are the best. Her and her husband loved Ciri like she was a member of there family. They had play time, cuddle time, they included her into there life and home and made her feel like her belonged there. I received photos twice a day and it but my wording to rest as she looked so happy. I can not recommend Kara enough. If you want someone who will love your furry family member like you do, I can promise you Kara will.

Kara was wonderful! My needy bully and Frenchie adore her and the pictures during our 3 week trip showed them roaming around, exploring, cuddling on the couch and happy as a clam! Already booked my next trip away to have the boys with her! Love her adoration for animals and how happy they cam back to me... recommend her a million percent.
