Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-time, Customized, Loving Care
For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
SO great! Karah is amazing with my super high energy lab puppy. So considerate and made sure to follow his schedule. He came home so happy and slept so well. We will be back, highly recommend!
Karah is amazing, I highly recommend them! My dog was recently diagnosed with a spine issue and this is the first time I've left him with a sitter while he was having a flare up. Karah made me feel so comfortable, took excellent care of him, and was super communicative. Karah has such a calming, confident energy and it made my dog immediately at ease :)
Karah is amazing with our dogs and they are big ones! We have a pittie/lab mix who is the sweetest boy and is absolutely ball obsessed and we also have a vocal german shepherd mix that is normally really anxious around new people and she took to Karah right away. Karah is really active with the dogs and I think she likes the walks through the park as much as the dogs do. She is quite strong and I have seen her walking 3 large dogs at the same time. Karah is also really reliable and punctual, but most important is that she is trustworthy. She has even stayed for long weekends at our home with her dog and it worked out beautifully. Highly recommend her!
I live in the town where Karah went to College. They charge a fair rate and they've been really helpful with my partner's cats (we have two of them and my partner has been fostering on and off for a few years now so there are sometimes four cats in the house). At one point we had a pair of particularly troubled foster kitties who got some skin thing and needed special baths. Karah was willing to do this twice a day while we were on vacation. I don't know what we would have done without them!
Karah was wonderful with my two cats, Misha and Dory. Dory needed daily oral medication while we were away and Karah was so good and patient with her, sending me updates throughout the week. Having someone I could trust so completely made our trip so much easier! I would trust Karah with my cats again in a heartbeat and definitely highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is friendly, responsible, and clearly an animal lover!
Karah loves dogs and has had pet dogs all her life. She is a responsible, caring and attentive caregiver to her dogs, as well as the dogs she has pet-sit over the years. Always keeping the health and well-being of the dogs in mind, Karah ensures they receive their daily needs - nutrition, hydration, exercise, training and love. She has excellent organizational skills and is available to her customers should they need to contact her. Some of my favorite "Karah" qualities are intelligence, friendliness, strength, capability and her easy-going and fun personality. In a word, Karah is a joy!

Schedule
I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.
Pets
A typical day
I love long walks around the parks in my neighborhood, there’s a treasure trove of things to smell! We can also drive a few minutes away for nature trails to hike and run on. Or it’s great to keep it simple and play with the dogs at home! My dog Gigi loves her doggy playmates.
