Accredited Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I have 40 years of loving care and training of personal pets including large breed dogs. But, I also have rescued and raised 2 cats, an exotic parrot, tortoise, turtle, possums, tarantula, rats and mice, ferret, hermit crabs, and fresh and saltwater aquariums. I am an Accredited Veterinary Assistant capable of administrating oral and injected medications. I volunteered for 2 years as a wildlife rehab and release specialist. Additionally I have had 5 years volunteering and training shelter dogs of all breeds. In Costa Rica, I started my own pet sitting and training business which I did for 1 1/2 years. I believe that all pets should be loved and cared for with the utmost respect. Your pet will be cherished.

Karen watched our fur family for a week and we found her to be responsible, caring, engaged, conscientious and trustworthy, Karen has a true love of animals, and she connected with our pets right away. Animals were well taken care of, their regular schedule maintained, the house was tidy, and all plants watered and in healthy condition. We would love to have her stay with our furkids again. :) A great experience

Karen was attentive and playful with my dogs. She sent pictures everyday and it was wonderful to know they were with a reliable, caring sitter. We will definitely use her again!

Karen was excellent! Our dog was getting over pneumonia and required special attention. Karen took every precaution and worried about her just like she was her own. She sent photos, was responsive when we had questions, and left a detailed note about where her care left off the day we returned. She also left the house cleaner than she found it. We would definitely book Karen again.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

Having had a rotty, pitties and a staffordshire, I am very comfortable around large breeds. But, I love all sizes, big, small and in between.

A typical day

I love walking and playing on the beach, parks, and doggie parks if your pet likes them. If your dog prefers traveling in the car, we can add a variety of fun places and walking trails.
