Pet care experience

Dogs are my people!

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 recent USC grad now living in Nashville, TN and would love to take care of your furry friends. Please reach out if you have any puppy needs! 🐶

Remy had so much fun with Kara! She was able to pick Remy up and drop her off at my house and I got tons of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely rebook Kara in the future!

Faye loved her time with Kara! She thrives in a calm home with lots of attention and that’s exactly what she got. Great update and very communicative

Kara was awesome with Winston (my dog). He’s a younger dog, so he has a lot of energy, but Kara made sure to take him on frequent walks and played lots of fetch w him. Will definitely be booking again!

Kara is so awesome with animals. She's so sweet and kind with a very energetic personality. Ivory was so well taken care for and very much loved. Ivory enjoyed it there on her stay cation. Kara is definitely someone I'd take Ivory back to again

Kara was so great with our border collie mix! She was prompt with communication, shared updates multiple times a day, and was willing to be flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Will definitely be rebooking with Kara to watch our pup! Thanks again Kara :)

Kara was a great with my dogs and somehow managed to get photos of my dogs that I never get! She was always communicating with me and I felt my dogs were being well taken care of. I will be booking with again.

Safety, trust & environment

I love going on walks and runs in my neighborhood, very dog friendly, and your puppy will get lots of attention from my friends and I!

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)

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!
