Pet care experience
Hi there! I've had dogs (and cats) my whole life, and don't remember a time period where I didn't have multiple pets! I have walked through the lifespan of puppyhood to senior life with all of my dogs (and cats). I currently have my best friend, Aku, who is a 7-year-old Staffy mix. We went through training together, which was fun! I learned lots of great ways to train dogs and am happy to practice with your pup. I work primarily as a licensed mental health therapist, so I am looking for something light-hearted and fun to add to my day. I look forward to loving on your pet! I work partially from home and partially in office during the week. When I’m in my office, I’m usually out no longer than 6 hours a day and typically Tues-Thurs. Fridays and weekends are flexible for me. My schedule changes each week but because I make my own schedule, I’m always able to make space for taking care of your pet! I care about meeting your best friend's needs! We will take frequent outside breaks and walks, and I will be sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles. We all need some extra lovin' these days. :)
Reviews
Karrah was amazing with my puppy! I would 10/10 recommend.
Karrah is amazing! Her communication and updates are so appreciated! She’s so wonderful!
Karrah cared for our dear old girl Sadie (16yo) for a week. At Sadie’s age, she is losing her sight and hearing, so the new smells and places can be anxiety provoking. Sadie had some concerning stools and Karrah didn’t hesitate to alert us quickly to confirm what was and was not an urgent vet visit. She was very considerate of our wishes and we trusted her to make the correct decision in any circumstance. Sadie had a night of diarrhea in Karrah’s apartment (on her beautiful rugs) and Karrah took the initiative to bring Sadie back to our apartment for some familiarity, and my sister came to take over caring for our sweet old girl. Karrah had her rugs cleaned and sent us the invoice.
Karrah has watched my pup Brooklyn a couple times when I’ve been out of town, once for a long two-week period. When Brooklyn is with Karrah I always have the peace of mind knowing she cares for her like her own. She sends multiple daily updates with photos and videos, gives her plenty of exercise and playtime, and is attentive to details involving food and medication. She even gave her a bath last time! She’s easy to reach and prompt at responding to messages, and also a super nice person! I highly recommend Karrah for any dog sitting needs, as she goes the extra mile to ensure your pup is happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a secured apartment building and so most of our outside time is leashed, unless we go to the dog park. I have a friendly dog at home to keep yours company. :) We will need to make sure our dogs get along before I approve boarding!
Information Karrah W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any special needs or medications they are on, so that I can make sure I’m able to accommodate.
A typical day
Physical and mental stimulation are both so important for our pets! I’m also a firm believer in the importance of one-on-one play and physical touch. We will play together, visit dog parks, go on walks, and explore new territory. I enjoy hiking trails so I would love to explore local trails with your friend!

I usually go into my office from 1-6p on Monday-Thursday, so I take care of my own guy outside of those hours. I take my own out at least 3-4 times per day and take long walks. I also make intentional time for one-on-one play and cuddles. :)
