I treat every animal as if it is my own. I have many repeat clients and I truly love those animals. I'm like the fun babysitter you had growing up who wants to spoil your pet!

Information Karalyn F. would like to know about your pet

Any past behavioral issues (especially separation anxiety) or medical needs, Escape artist tricks, food allergies. Any places they are not allowed to go or visit

A typical day

Parks are the best for going on walks to playing fetch in the city. Meal times are also VERY important for the food motivated fur babies.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life, from large rescues to small pure breeds. I dog/cat sit for many of my friends here in New York. I'm quite knowledgeable about different breeds and their unique needs/personalities. As a pet owner myself, I know the locations of the best vets/emergency vets and pet stores. I volunteer at the Animal Care and Control Center where I was trained in animal behavior and diseases. As I do not have a dog myself, I am able to provide your dog with all my attention.

Karalyn has always taken such great care of our pets and there is so much to do around here with a 2 year old energetic pup, new puppy and our diabetic cat! But she is very experienced and reliable, handles everything so well, and we feel comforted by her frequent updates with sweet messages and photos of our babies.

Big thanks to Karalyn for giving me peace of mind when I have to travel away from my cats. Updates and pics were perfect and thank you for keeping them cool, looking good with the brushing and keeping us up to date on my elusive void cat when photos were not possible. ❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
