I have a fenced yard, and 2 dachshunds that love being around other dogs. I have plenty of time to love and spoil your pet.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog enjoys walks or just playing in the backyard. I am happy to do walks or to just hang out in the house and cuddle. All time with animals are tailored to that visit.

A typical day

I love being around animals. Daily walks, exploring new areas, games and cuddles. I know that animals can miss their owners when they are away but I assure you they will be well taken care of.

I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!

Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!

Karen is great! I can tell my pup is much more comfortable when I get home because she gets energy out of him on their walk! Also very flexible!

Karen was a real good getter! She was kind and professional. My dogs are 45 and 60lbs of extra - and she did a great job. Would recommend! Thank you Karen.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
