about us

We are a dedicated small pet sitting company located in the Falmouth area on beautiful Cape Cod. We have been caring and loving local pets since 2000 and are one of the oldest and certainly the longest running pet sitting business in this area.

This is a business where devoted parents of there beloved furry children depend on us for the care when they cannot be there as well as daily loving walks and rambles. It is based on trust and true responsibility to have such special souls to care for and bring home safe, happy and well cared for. It is a privilege to be allowed to be apart of your pets and your family in this way and we take it very seriously.

Kara: The owner. I am a born animal lover.  I became interested in caring for animals at a very early age.  When I was about 8, I would volunteer at the local shelter to help raise money to pay for the pets food and supplies.  I also would make up index cards with all the neighborhood pets and put all and any of their information I could find about them, and go visit them every week.  I was always bringing in strays much to my parents exhausted attempts to keep our household minimized to the normal pet household size.  I would become sincerely homesick for my cat and dog when we went on vacation and growing up this way, I understand how important it is to leave your loved one’s with someone you can trust and sympathizes with the emotions that can come with leaving a pet at home.    I am the business owner of Kara’s Pet Care and am passionate about my responsibilities as a pet sitter and dog walker.  I have three amazing children, and three cat’s I raised from infants. I have taken a break from my 8 years of rescuing and fostering dogs and cats that I care for until their destine families adopt them. I have trained all of them and in this have learned so much about training a dog and meeting them where they are in their unique needs and breed.

In my past life I was an environmentalist and have worked at zoo’s as a animal caretaker for wild animals, plover biologist on Martha’s Vineyard, worked for Audubon as a naturalist and State Departments as a Naturalist/ Educator. I have also worked at several Animal Hospitals as a vet technician. I truly feel a home is not a home unless it has the pitter patter of a four legged loved ones.🐾
