About Kara

Hi there, my name is Kara. It is very nice to meet you! 

I'm am 26 years old and currently working as an accountant in Utrecht. I enjoy yoga, pilates, running, painting and reading a really good book. I am a total cat person but cannot resist a dog either. 

I would like to be your pet sitter not only because I adore animals, but also because I need some animal love in my life. I moved to the Netherlands from South Africa with my partner a year ago but we could not bring our dogs with. So now I crave some quality time with dogs, cats or any other loving pet! I can take care of young or older animals. I would walk them, take care of them at your home and give them loads of attention. I have had various pets growing up and currently have two beautiful dogs back in SA so I do have experience caring for them. I have also fostered cats in the past so my time with cats will also come in handy. 

My services include walking, feeding them at your home and petsitting them at your home. I am mainly available on after 5pm in the afternoons and also in the evenings. I can also groom your pet for you if you want me too. I offer home visits where I can stay with your pet for as long as you need me to whilst watering your plants and bringing the mail in from outside. When I take dogs for a walk, I can walk the time or distance you prefer. I like a good 45 minute walk as I can take them to Wilhelminapark which is close by. Regarding housesitting, the length can be up to you. I will make sure all doors are locked when I leave to ensure that your home stays a safe place. 

At the moment I can only communicate in Afrikaans and English but the plan is to learn some Dutch in the near future. 

If you think that I am the right person for your sweet pet, feel free to reach out to me. I would love to meet them too :)

Kara is a wonderful dog sitter, I can't recommend her enough! She stayed with my dog at our place and was very attentive to all the details and peculiarities of the animal's behavior. In fact, my Umbra and Kara established a connection literally from the first minutes of their meeting. It was a great experience for us.

Kara was exactly what we needed. She took really good care of our 2 dogs and we could see that she is a naturally caring, animal-loving person. Really great experience with her!
