Pet care experience

Your pet is part of my family

My pets are family. I have given insulin shots and medication. Pad trained and my house is very pets friendly, accidents will happen lol. I have had cats and dogs in my life. Have sat from a terrier to a boxer and often give up most of my bed for my furfriends. I am easy going, non reactive, observe owners wishes concerning diet and exercise. I do work but your pets needs are the first thing I look after when I get home. Will do drop ins within a reasonable distance. Your pets will love coming to my place for the day or for vacation stays. Book your furbaby’s visit I ensure all dogs are safe including my own. Dogs are introduced to each other and are feed separately if needed. Dogs are always on leashes when we leave the apartment.

I can’t say enough about Kara and the way she looks after Maggie. She cares for her the same way she does her own dog. I used to worry when I went on vacation, but that doesn’t happen anymore. Kara, thank you from both Maggie and me 😊

Kara was incredibly accommodating and so kind to our pup. She was able to look after our dog at the last minute when someone else cancelled due to illness. She took great care of Fig!

I can’t say enough about Kara. I know when I leave Maggie with her, not only is she (Maggie) cared for the same way I do, but I know she settles in very quickly. Thank you so much, Kara. When I go away, I don’t worry in the slightest about my fur baby.

Kara was great! She helped out last minute when I had to run out of town for a funeral. Came back to a happy cat.

Kara did an excellent job taking care of our dog! She is kind, funny, and responsible. As it was our first time using Rover, we had some concerns, but everything went perfectly. Our dog absolutely adored her, and I highly recommend her services!
