Animal Lover & Caretaker for Life!
Pet care experience
I’ve had experienced taking care of animals my whole life - and that’s not an exaggeration! We took in all animals at my home and at one point we had 7 dogs, 8 cats, 3 horses, 2 birds, and a rabbit! I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny breeds to gigantic (like my own dog whose a St Bernard/German Shepherd Mix). I have informally pet-sat for years, have life long experience volunteering at shelters, and I am equally comfortable with dogs and cats, in all phases of life. I am no stranger to behavioral issues, as I’ve had to work through them with my own dog, so I am understanding if your pets have any issues, and I’m willing to work with you there! Just let me know what you’re worried about and we’ll figure it out, no problem. I know leaving your pet can be a stressful experience so I’m dedicated to making this process as comfortable and safe as possible. My dog loves other dogs and is amazing with my cat - funnily enough he loves tiny dogs though he’s huge, but if you’re more comfortable with keeping our pets separate that’s perfectly fine. My cat is currently staying at my dads place so he will not be here. I have a nice fenced-in backyard, so if you’re hesitant about your dog being walked, let your worries end here. Despite that, I love walking dogs and believe enrichment inside and outside the home is great for them! I view this as a full-time job so they will be able to be cared for and watched constantly. I believe animals are the best things we’ve got here on Earth so I’ll take cares of yours as if they were my own! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I’m more than happy to clarify on anything.
Reviews
We have three dogs and a cat, all with very different personalities. Karah has an uncanny way of understanding each of their specific needs. From our stubborn dachshund mix to our shy girl. We were especially concerned about our large, cantankerous Boxer, but she handled him with ease. We all call her the pet whisperer. Wouldn’t trust anyone but her with our fur babies.
Karah has watched our dog Stella (medium sized mix) on multiple occasions and Stella loves her! Karah fed, played with, and walked Stella keeping her happy and well taken care of.

Information Karah A. would like to know about your pet
I have my own dog but if you are more comfortable with keeping our pets separate that’s perfectly fine. We can meet outside the house first if you are more comfortable with that. I am also comfortable with giving your dog any medications or special care as long as you outline what you expect, and I’m open to working with behavioral issues. I just need you to let me know what kind of special treatment your dog needs and we will be good to go!
A typical day
Any pets that stay will be sure to have an enriching and comfortable stay. I have a fenced in backyard for them to play with, countless toys, and a great neighborhood for walks! If your dog is older we will take it easy and make sure we go at a pace they’re comfortable with. Cats will of course be kept in and provided with toys and attention as well, they will be allowed to warm up at their own pace and provided a sense of safety and security. I’m great at reading dogs and cats and I will implement whatever advice the owner has.
