About Kara
Experience: 5 yrs
As a clinical social worker - I love working with people but I also love working with animals! Growing up, my mom worked at pet stores and veterinarian clinics and, after hours, all sorts of pets in need of care seemed to find their way into our home - dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish; you name it! I have over five experience as a dog-walker and pet-sitter, through "Wag"as well as independently with long-term clients - I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds! I am happy to be back on this platform to offer pet-care services. I'm between full-time jobs until mid-December 2025 - with lots of availability for now as well as some availability in the future! I am a mindful and trustworthy professional who is skilled and passionate about animals, and I look forward to providing excellent care for your furry family!
Most recent review
Kara was so helpful to us while we vacationed in San Diego. We had asked her to watch our dog while we went kayaking and thought we would be back by early afternoon. However, our reservation was messed up and we ended up not getting back until 5:30. When I called her to make sure that was going to be okay, Kara was super flexible with her time. Our little dog had a good time hanging out with her at the beach some that day, too.
