Furbabies are my life!

I am a complete animal lover! I have been blessed with many furbabies over my lifetime - dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, ferrets, and birds and turtles (even though they don't have fur, they're still my babies!) It would be a complete joy to help you and your little ones with anything needed, even if it's just a trip around the block for a walk. :) I would love to!

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my number one priority. I know some of them take time to feel comfortable around new people - and I will be more than happy to take the time to do that. I would prefer that we have a meet'n greet before coming over for walks and checkups but after that, feel free to make last-minute appointments, the day of, and I will be over there in a heartbeat to see your little one and make sure they get the care they need! While together, my eye will be on them at all times for safety. I believe that there is no issue with being slightly paranoid with a furbaby, in your home, and even while leaving and locking the doors. There's nothing wrong with double checking that your home and babies will be safe!

I previously used another sitter before and they moved out of the area. I was worried about losing someone I trusted. Kara proved there are other great sitters out there. She had good reviews and was close to me and she did not disappoint. She did everything I asked to take care of my elderly cat for a week and sent me pictures and updates each day that provided me great comfort. I've definitely found a replacement sitter if I need one again. I would recommend her to anyone taking care of their pets.

Kara was absolutely amazing! We were out of town for 5 days and she was able to take care of our two little kitties. Not only did they warm up to her right away (usually not normal) but she was able to manage their specific schedules and eating habits. They would play with her and she took amazing photos that made my whole family laugh. Will definitely rebook with her if and when we go out of town again

I cannot express the detailed, loving care my babies received from Kara. 5 stars is simply not enough for her, definitely will be a repeat customer and will refer family and friends to Kara!!!

Schedule

I am choosing to grow on Rover and am making this my number one priority, so I will be available seven days of the week! I have my own little - and big - furbabies that bring me joy, and I will be very happy to take care of your babies when you decide to go on vacation or even an emergency pops up! Because we all know that happens, right? I am available all days of the week, trying to keep the times between 8am to 7pm, but if an emergency comes up, I will always be willing to squeeze that in at any time. I couldn't be happier to become a family's go-to babysitter or walker for their furbabies, so please never hesitate to reach out!

Let me know if your dog has any needs or requirements before I come and visit, I will definitely keep those accounted for. This includes behavior and medicine requirements.
