Doggos, Cattos, and Floofs!

Pet care experience

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 stayed with my kitty while I was on vacation and did a great job! It gave me peace of mind knowing that she was keeping an eye on the house as well. Great communication and everything looked good when I arrived back home.

She did a great job. She kept us informed and sent pictures. The house was in great shape when we returned. We will definitely use her again.

Karen was great!! We’re super happy with the communication and the way she cared for our pups. We have a senior St. Bernard and a puppy rescue…which both come with different care needs. She did great with both of them! She stayed for several evenings and the house was just the way it was when we left. We appreciate coming home to a tidy house and happy pups!! We highly recommend Karen!

Karen took wonderful care of our lab/shepherd mix and our two cats while we were away for a week! It was amazing to go on vacation and not be stressed about our anxious, energetic dog and our cats; Karen gave us regular photo and video updates, and the pets were the happiest we’ve ever seen them after being away. We couldn’t recommend her more highly as a house and pet sitter!

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.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.
