Pet care experience
Hey there! I'd be a great fit for your dog if they need extra exercise, enjoy being outside, going to the dog park or beach, running or walking. I have fostered high-energy hunting and sporting dogs for a rescue, and I believe a tired pup is a happy pup. We have medium-sized backyard for the area we live in with a turfed potty space! My dogs, Thayer and Flynn, get along with all pups and people. Thayer is pretty oblivious to other pups so don't worry if you're dog tends on the shy side, he'll just give them space! Flynn likes to meet his new buddies first! If your dog doesn't have great recall and can't be off leash at the beach, no worries, I'm a marathon runner and can tire them out that way! My dogs are my babies, and I'll treat yours the same!
Reviews
Thank you Kara!! You really are the best, we’re very lucky!
Kara is the best! Really appreciated your help and schedule flexibility while I had a few busy days at work.
Kara is the best! Hunter definitely gets all the love! Thanks again for your help!!
Kara is amazing and I had the best experience asking her to watch Hunter. Really appreciated her updates and the pics showed the dogs were in 100% happy mode. Her dogs were a perfect fit for Hunter as well!! Thanks again Kara, you’re the best.

My smaller front yard has a four foot fence. My medium backyard has a 7-8 foot fence fully surrounding it. Dogs are family in our house, and we allow them to sit on our couch and chairs. We’ll enforce any rules you would like us to with respect to furniture and sleeping arrangements. We have neighbors close by so try to limit bark noise as much as possible, let us know if your pup is a barker!

Information Kara Y. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog does not get along with dogs, people or lacks an immediate recall. Dog must be house trained please. I will crate your dog in an XL crate during the day while I'm at work if they tend on the destructive side. Please give me a heads up if they are a barker when left alone so that I can prep my house accordingly so as not to bother my neighbors.
A typical day
I have a fenced in backyard where your pup can explore. I've been a distance runner since I was 12, so I'm use to running far with dogs to tire them out! We also go to the beach or dog park every single night--Fiesta Island, OB Dog Beach, or Dusty Rhodes!

I work full time away from my home from about 8:30-4:30 :) My dogs have free reign of our backyard in the morning before I leave, and I exercise my dogs every night on a walk/run or at the dog park and would love to include yours in our routine! On the weekends we’re mostly home or at the dog beach! We also love dog friendly breweries and restaurants in North Park :)
