Vet tech animal lover

Pet care experience

I would love to check in on your furry, scaly, creepy crawly pets and anything in between pets. Here is why I would be a great fit. Over 3 years experience working in a Veterinary setting ( ER vet medicine is my passion) and over 8 years of Preventative veterinarian medicine, I have been trained and educated on a level of pet care that all my clients absolutely love. I also get a sense of pride knowing that owners trust me to enough to care for their furry family members when they are unable to. I have experience in caring for healthy, sick and geriatric (older/senior) dogs and cats, including specific dietary concerns, and administrations of various medications including insulin. I have been trained to handle many different types of situations while remaining stress free and understanding the needs of the pet and the owner. Handling scared & upset pets as well as any specific owner requests for those pets is a passion of mine.I love seeing the pets break out of their scared shells after a visit or two. It makes such a difference! I am a true animal lover who always thinks “how would I want my pets to be treated” and go above and beyond to provide that to my clients and their pets as they all deserve personalized one on one attention and love.

Karen got my antisocial cat to come out of hiding for a few pets!

Karen was awesome with our kids, especially our very skittish, special needs dog. She was patient with our girl and so sweet to our old kitties. She went above and beyond to send updates, pictures and videos (knowing that I was missing my kids as much as they missed me). We highly recommend Karen! Thanks for everything!

Buckley had a great time with Karen. She was so sweet at sending updates and really seems to enjoy having him. I would and will be booking with her again. Thanks Karen!
