Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind and Dedicated Pet Auntie
I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.
Ratings and reviews
No one likes to leave their pets, even if it's for a dream vacation! But when I must, there's no one I trust them with more than Karen. Why? Because more than the conscientious and thoughtful pet sitter that she is, she is a pet lover, and she truly derives joy from connecting with animals. Because of this, I know that when she comes to visit my cats, she plays with them and spends quality time with them, not out of obligation, but out of a true sense of connection and love she feels from engaging with them. When we return from a trip, our cats are always more playful because Karen gave them so much attention, and their confidence and energy are up. We know they didn't even miss us at all, which is exactly what we want! In addition, Karen takes beautiful photos of your pet that seem to capture their spirits. I always look forward to the daily photos from her when we are away. If you are anxious about leaving your pets with a sitter, I highly recommend Karen. She will take care of your pet as if it were her own, and there's no better peace of mind than that!
