About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience bathing, walking, and playing with Chihuahua , Dachshund, Yorkie, Coton de Tuléar, Pitbulls,Boxers, and so many more! **Prices accounted for Rover’s fee** My schedule is fairly flexible to meet you and your pet’s needs! I do ask for request to be submitted at least a day in advance. I ask for same day care to be submitted two hours before requested arrival. My interactions with the animal depends on your pet’s interactions with me. For example, if your pet likes cuddles and has alot of energy. I would match that energy with various games and of course snuggle with them. However if your pet is the complete opposite and like to relax all day, I can do that too!
About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
“Kara is the best! My pup adored her from the very second they first met. She is organized and immediately picks up on all of the little details about your dog’s needs or routine so you can fully relax knowing they are well cared for. She will keep you updated with the sweetest updates and photos every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

About: I took care of my black lab, and then golden retriever when I was growing.

I am a high school teacher who has great availability in the summer, and would be happy to work around your schedule in the fall.

She’s come to check on my pets when I’ve left for weekend getaways and she will send photo updates each day which helped to ease my mind, especially the first few times! I would recommend Amber for any pet!”
Mackenzie S.
“Mackenzie has watched my dog, Ace, for me on many occasions. All my late days at work, trips, etc, Mackenzie is there for me in a heart beat. Ace is an Australian shepherd who has a ton of energy and is the very anxious type. Mackenzie is able to satisfy his needs of being active and also show him tons of loving to feel safe! Every time I get Ace after him spending time with Mackenzie, Ace is the happiest boy ever with the biggest smile. So grateful to have Mackenzie to help me out when I need to be extra help(:”
