Hi! I'm a passionate and experienced pet sitter who loves taking care of cats and dogs. With 20+ years of experience in pet ownership and a couple of years volunteering at the humane society, I have a deep understanding of how to cater to each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I offer a range of pet sitting services, including dog walking, overnight stays, and drop-in visits. I am also skilled in administering medication and following special dietary requirements, so pet owners can rest assured that their furry friends are in good hands. Whether it's for a quick weekend getaway or an extended trip, pet owners can count on me to provide exceptional care for their beloved pets.

Karen’s the best! We’ve had her watch Mo and Barry multiple times now and have always been very pleased! She’s great with the animals and the house. Mo was sprayed by a skunk last time and Karen took care of all of it! Highly recommend!

Karen is phenomenal with our dog Gizmo; she checks in frequently with photos and updates and takes great care of our house while we’re away. We love working with her!

Karen was a great cat sitter. If she had questions during our trip, she asked for clarification. She spent quality time with our cats and took pictures, which we appreciated. I would highly recommend Karen for cat sitting.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work full-time, but I am able to get away during the day for drop-ins or walks. I am free most evenings and weekends. I'm super flexible on days and times with enough advance notice.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet lover myself to a very opinionated cat named Honey, I understand how important it is to provide love and attention to each pet. I take the time to get to know each animal and establish a bond of trust and affection, creating a positive and stress-free environment for pets while their owners are away.

Pets

A typical day

I'm up to having fun with your pets: going for walks, car rides, or dog parks; playing with toys; or just hanging out at home together. I want your pet to feel like they're getting the attention and love they deserve while you're away.

Please let me know what your pets love and dislike, if they have any special needs or allergies, and all about their personalities. Do they like to meet other dogs or people on walks? Do they hate the cold weather? Or maybe they just like to be a potato and lounge around. Let me know. I want to make sure I'm giving them the best care.
