Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kara and I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 12+ years. My pet care experience comes from owning multiple dogs throughout the years and dog sitting for family, friends and neighbors. For the past 3 years I’ve been on Rover to reach out to more pup parents. I have experience in working with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with medication and special needs. My goal when dog sitting is to keep the environment as homey as possible. I host a maximum of 2 dogs. I like to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible along with giving the dogs the safety and love a home provides. I am the owner of a 10 year old Chiweenie named Penelope and a Great Pyrenees mix puppy named Nimbus. Penelope is my spoiled Princess that enjoys napping on the couch and patrolling the kitchen floor. Nimbus is a fluff ball that you can’t resist petting. He has never met a stranger. We can’t wait to meet y’all!

Kara was amazing! She communicates so well and made the entire process of onboarding super easy. My dogs loved their stay with her. She continuously sent me photos of my dogs and I felt super comfortable with giving her my full trust. As a dog mom who has a German Sheppard with real bad separation anxiety, it was very important that my pet sitter understood how to care of him while I was away. Kara was like family to my doggos. I definitely will be booking her regularly!

Kara is very well organized. Her home is neat and friendly to my furry child. I am thankful that we have her family to take care of our dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and always stay outside with the dogs to ensure a safe environment. If I need to step out of the house (ex: get groceries; individually walk dogs I am hosting), all dogs are separated by owners to ensure safety. If this is my first time hosting your dog, I might request they come with their kennel depending on age, how well they mind when others are eating, and multiple other factors. Kennels can also be great for any anxious dogs so they have a guaranteed safe space while adjusting to the new space and possibly other furry guests.

Information Kara L. would like to know about your pet

I only accept friendly dogs that are comfortable with small children and dogs of all sizes. Respectfully, I will NOT accept any dogs that upset my child or dogs; are excessively vocal indoors; mark their territory indoors or use diapers/potty pads; or persistently mount other dogs and jump on people. Safety is my #1 priority and your cooperation is greatly appreciated. **Meet & Greets do NOT guarantee booking. It IS an informal interview to determine compatibility.**

A typical day

When the weather is nice, we like to spend a good chunk of the day out in the backyard. My child loves playing fetch and chase with the dogs. My favorite activities with the dogs we host are the photo sessions; running around the backyard, snuggle time and giving their provided treats and snacks.

In regards to the daily schedule, I follow care plans exactly as told when it comes to meals, medication and care. Meal times are done separately from each other. Fresh water is available 24/7 unless the owner requests otherwise. Potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours. I enjoy taking leash-trained dogs on walks when weather permits. All main living areas are accessible and free to roam. The master bedroom is accessible for bedtime.
