Dog Sitting in Fort George

In reading some of the reviews posted by a disgruntled employee(s?), I feel compelled to post my experiences with Kara's Pet Care over the past 5 years. Kara and her team pay very close attention to detail and the care they provide has been without a doubt simply exceptional. I have used them for overnight services, personal dog training (1 on 1) with Kara as well as for dog walking/hiking. There have been times, with last minute notice (family emergency or stuck out of town) that they have provided care for our dog and always seem happy to help. The messages and photos that get sent through the Handlr app demonstrate their love of animals and you know that your pet is in wonderful hands. If there are issues accessing the house or finding supplies they do not hesitate to reach out, which I truly appreciate. There is another level of trust that you need to have when you give access to your pets, (who we consider family members) as well as to your home, to someone outside of your family. Just one example of the top notch care we have received over the years happened very recently. One particular day, one of the dog walkers learned of Bella's (our black lab) love of playing frisbee and went out and bought one for her while on their walk/hike. I could not have imagined such a business taking the time and great care to do something like that! When we hired Kara for training, we gained a lot of knowledge and help with some behaviors that our dog was exhibiting. She has a wonderful, happy and calm way about her that makes you and your pet feel at ease. We had questions about how to respond to certain dog behaviors and we found her solutions really helpful. I also, feel compelled to speak about her integrity and goodness. One shining example is that on her own accord and expense, she recently helped rescue a large group of abused dogs in a shelter in the south and brought them all back to be adopted. She personally took care of and found homes for them. This is truly a good person. You may pay a little bit more for the services at Kara's Pet Care but it is a great value. You simply cannot compare the integrity, reliability, responsiveness and professionalism of Kara's and her team! It is the best we have ever encountered. I would without hesitation use them for any of their services. Please feel free to reach out to me with any further questions. Thank you Kara and team for being standouts in your field!

I LOVE Kara and her team! Kara only hires staff members who are super nice, very smart and who adore animals - like herself! After five minutes with Kara, you’ll know that she and her team of experts are the best people to take care of your furry (or feathered) family members! And if your pet needs more than love and attention, make an appointment with their new trainer, Andre. He is incredible!

I cannot say enough positive things about Kara’s Pet Care!! Kara is a remarkable person with both a caring, intuitive nature and a wealth of medical knowledge. We have used her company for years and loved them but it wasn’t until tonight that I realized just how amazing a human she is and how lucky our family is to have her in our lives. I want you to picture this scene: we are getting ready to launch our first child to college. We are a hot mess of emotions and anxiety getting her all packed up. Right in the middle of the chaos our puppy got into something she shouldn’t. Panicked, inconsolable, I was sure she had gotten into something seriously harmful. Who did I call? Who was the first person that popped into my mind? Kara Dello Russo. Not only did she respond to my text in a calm, reassuring manner, she called me thirty seconds later. She spoke with me about what to do(in this case thankfully nothing)and researched further my concerns. This kind of treatment, like family, is priceless. If you are looking for the most loving, knowledgeable and experienced care for your furry family member, look no further than Kara’s Pet Care. Going above and beyond is an everyday occurrence.

The customer service and genuine love of animals is spot on! The people who work here are very knowledgeable and take on challenging clients with patience and honesty. My boy won’t be going anywhere with anyone unless it’s KARA’S PET CARE.

I could not ask for better care for my 3 dogs. The pups had so much fun with the sitters that they didn’t even miss us. I completely recommend Kara’s Pet Care! 100%

Industry leaders in their field, and incredible integrity in how they approach animal care.

Drew was the BEST! I couldn’t recommend someone higher than him as a dog sitter. He gave us regular updates and pictures which we loved, especially as our first time really away from our dog. We have a very shy dog who takes a while to warm up to people and Drew was so patient and kind with him that our pup has a new BFF!

Drew watched our golden retriever & 2 cats for a week, and gave us updates every time he was on the way to the house, how our pup and cats were doing (with pictures) and when he left the house. We never had to worry, and was even flexible when we asked for an extra trip over to the house/moving times around. He’s watched my parents’ dogs before and they had a great experience with him as well. On a personal note, I’ve known Drew personally for many years and can vouch for his character, and he is exactly the kind of person I want watching my pet babies. I will absolutely use him again.

Drew has been a huge help watching our dog, Bear. It takes Bear a while to warm up to strangers and Drew was very patient and understanding allowing Bear to get comfortable. Drew recently watched Bear for a few night stay at our home and things went great. Drew was very professional, communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures. We’ll be using him again!

Whenever Drew watches my Dog my dog comes back happier! Though he’s always sad to see me leave he’s happy to know he’s in good hands! Drew is efficient and absolutely loves dogs and dogs love him back! Thanks Drew

Drew was a huge help during our week vacation! We got frequent updates on our dogs/cats that included pictures of all the things they were doing together. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our animals during our trip. Drew was super responsive to our questions or concerns and flexible to all of our animals’ needs. We will definitely be booking with him again! Thank you!

Drew stayed at our home while we were on vacation. The dogs were so happy and Drew sent us updates and pictures all the time. He set our mind at ease.

There's no better dog sitter than Drew! He's amazing with dogs, our fur baby absolutely loves to spend his time with Drew. I feel like my dog is safe and in great hands when left with him, I couldn't recommend him enough!

Drew stayed with our 2 pups for a long weekend and he will forever be our go-to now. From how incredibly kind Drew was as a person, to all the updates and special treats he gave them - we truly have never had such peace of mind when going away. Drew went above and beyond - especially given that our older dog is fully blind with a teeny tiny bladder these days. We always worry he’ll be too much for people, but Drew took extra care to keep him safe and get him outside as often as needed. And he let them sleep in bed with him, which we knowwww our clingy pups loved! Haha. Thank you again for everything, Drew - we (& the pups) are so grateful!

Drew checked in on our pup during a recent vacation and we were thrilled with his service! Our pup loved playing and cuddling with him and we appreciated Drew’s thorough communication. Thankful to have someone to rely on when we are out of town!

“Dogs Love Drew” is the absolute truth. And more importantly, Drew loves your dogs. I wish I could give extra stars.
