Hi, I’m Kara — an experienced and reliable pet sitter in my 40s who has been caring for pets professionally since 2022. I don’t have animals or children of my own, which means your pets receive my full attention and care while you’re away.

I’m new to the Pawshake platform and still building my reviews here, but I bring with me a strong track record from another petsitting site, where I’ve been pet sitting since 2022 and have earned 55 five-star reviews from happy pet parents.

I’m happy to share my other petsitting profile on request so you can view my full review history. Here are two recent reviews.

Kara was so fantastic! She was super reliable and kept me updated with photos of my babies. She even took my dog out for a little road trip which he would have loved! The house was sparkling clean when I got in, and both pets were happy and relaxed. I would definitely have her round again 😊

Kara was amazing with Fergus and Pumpkin, the fur babies adored her, we had regular contact and photos, the apartment was left spotless. Above and beyond our expectations, first time I have left the animals without stressing about them. Highly recommend to others and Fergus and Pumpkin are big fans and can't wait til I go away again!

I have extensive experience caring for dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, birds, and small animals such as rabbits, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs.

I work from home half of the week, allowing for plenty of companionship, regular walks in local parks, playtime, and calm, consistent care. Pet parents can expect regular photos and thoughtful updates every couple of days, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

I’m a non-smoker, I don’t have overnight visitors, and I treat every home with the utmost respect — leaving it clean, calm, and exactly as I found it. I have my own car, which allows me to transport pets safely if needed for outings or appointments. Alongside pet sitting, I also work at a university, and I bring the same professionalism, responsibility, and care to every home I’m trusted with.

I’m available for pet sitting, house visits, and dog walking, and I’m currently prioritising longer-term bookings and repeat sits, as I find pets thrive best with consistency and familiarity. I’m not taking single-night bookings, with a minimum stay of three nights preferred.

If you’re looking for a trusted, calm, and attentive sitter who will care for your pets and home as if they were my own, I’d love to hear from you.
