Kara Kilian, owner of Hot Diggity Dog Pet Care, has always had a love of animals. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kara was working as a bartender. On August 12, 2020, Kara took a leap of faith and began a journey that would turn her passion into a thriving "Pawsome" business. Hot Diggity Dog Pet Care was born and now services 115 towns and cities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. 

Kara loves and cares for a plethora of animals at her home in Central MA when she's not on the road tending to yours. She has several dogs, cats and goats, a horse and a mule to keep her busy. Kara makes it a priority to foster animals in need as well. This, however, is where she fails as she has permanently adopted every single one.

Kara is also an ordained reverend. She jokingly offered to officiate her friends' wedding but they thought it was a fantastic idea. 

Kara Kilian, crazy animal lover, failed foster and ordained reverend travels far and wide to keep your pets happy and beautiful.
