Dogs are my people!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs since I was little, and never was lucky enough to have one on my own with my parents constantly traveling. But with all my neighbors having dogs I practically lived at their houses to spend time with them! Ever since elementary school I have been the neighborhood dog sitter and I love going on walks and runs with my little furry friends. I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs, housed family friends dogs for up to 2 months, and been a foster dog caretaker! I’m a student at a USC, so during the school year I take care of dogs in the LA area but during breaks (thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) I’m in Wayland, MA and would love to take care of your furry friends. Please reach out if you have any puppy needs! 🐶

Kara took excellent care of my high-energy puppy. My puppy came home exhausted after having a great day with Kara.

Kara was amazing! Our pups love her and she was so attentive and caring for the dogs. She gave us updates and pictures and really put our mind at ease while we were away.

Thank you so much, Kara, for another great weekend of “puppy” care!! The dogs clearly love you and it is such a relief to know they’re in your very capable hands when I’m gone! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Information Kara W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how I can best serve your dog! If s/he needs any medications or likes a certain routine I want to meet their every need. I’ve taken care of a few older dogs who have trouble seeing or can’t go down big steps and I want to make sure your dog is as comfortable with me as they are with you!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks or runs there because it gives them a chance to explore and get their energy out. I’d also say fetch is one of my strengths since I don’t have a dog of my own so I never tire out ;) I can also ensure endless scratches or down time cuddling (we’ve got quite cozy couches and beds)
