Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine is respected. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and comfort level, and I communicate clearly with families to ensure their pets are well taken care of at all times.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing about any special needs, behaviors, medical considerations, or routines ahead of time. Please let me know what your pet likes, dislikes, and if there’s anything specific you’d like me to focus on, so I can provide the best and most personalized care possible.

A typical day

A typical day depends on the pet’s personality and energy level. I enjoy playing, going on walks or runs around the neighborhood or park, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. If a pet prefers a calmer day, I’m just as happy spending quiet time together, making sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and loved.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I volunteered at an animal shelter for a while and have continued helping animals in my community, including strays. I’m patient, flexible, and always pay close attention to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care — while also giving their families peace of mind when they’re away.

I couldn't have left our 3 dogs with anyone more efficient than Karen. She is very good with all 3 and they took to her immediately! They all have much different personalities, and it was not a problem for Karen. She clearly loves all animals and it shows with her caring way with them. I will definitely be using Karen whenever I need someone to look after our dogs!

Karen is really good with animal . She volunteers at a animal shelter every Saturday and she also brings them snacks and toys. She’s very empathetic.

Karen is amazing! We went out of town and she watched our cat moose and he never felt lonely. She was so awesome she would send us daily videos of her playing with him just to fill our hearts to know he was being taken care of. Definitely recommend her to watch any pets and will use her in the future next time we go out of town! 10/10 🐾❤️
