OWNER AND MANAGERS

MEET OUR office STAFF

 

Owner – Kara Tovar

Kara Tovar was born in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, where she and her family raised many animals, including cats, dogs, birds, gerbils, fish, mice, and horses. One of her loves was helping her mother breed, train, and show their Golden Retrievers. While growing up, she worked at her mother’s boarding and grooming kennel, where she learned about the different types of cats and dogs as well as their behaviors. She also helped with all facets of the kennel’s operations including walking dogs, training, grooming, and marketing.

Kara graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Special Education and a minor in Exercise Sports Science. While attending college she cared for several of her friends’ pets whenever they were away, including some exotic species such as an iguana, a boa constrictor, and piranhas.

In 2001, Kara started TLC House and Pet sitting service and has continued to provide professional pet sitting services to TLC’s customers in their own home environment ever since. Inspired by her love of animals, she continues to keep up to date with new developments and share her own experiences through volunteer work. She has served as the President of Arizona Professional Pet Sitting & Associates (www.appsa.net), and was on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters for 7 years (www.petsitter.org).

As a leader in pet care, Kara has been featured in many newspapers as well as in a national magazine. Kara has received her Pet CPR certification, oversees an annual donation campaign for sheltered pets and attends regular conferences for pet sitting professionals. She is well-known in the animal care industry, and has built long lasting relationships with veterinarians, groomers, trainers, rescue groups and other vendors in the community.

Kara’s main objective is to never stop learning about animals and their behavior to merit her clients’ trust and ensure their peace of mind.

Kara loves spending time with her family, her grandchildren, and her own pets: Niko, a Golden Retriever who died 2010, and Brownie, a rescued Chocolate Lab who died 2010, and Hunter a rescued Lab/Golden.

Kara’s philosophy for running a successful business is that to gain a client’s trust, she must offer pet care and open communication backed by experience and continued education, to provide exceptional service for each client and their pets.
