I just stepped into retirement, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. My days are flexible, so I can give your furry ones the attention they deserve—whether that’s a midday walk, a weekend cuddle session, or simply hanging out with them while you’re away. I’m down to earth and laid back, I strive to be gentle, and attuned to what each animal needs. In addition, I’m happy to grab the mail, bring in any packages that are delivered and adjust blinds and lights as requested to help give your house a “lived in” look. I’m here to support both you and your pet’s needs while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I love animals and have a knack for earning their trust. My cat Eli is 17 and takes daily medication, so I’m experienced with senior pets and administering meds. I enjoy capturing sweet moments through photos and videos, which I’m happy to share with “mom & dad” if they’d like updates. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to keep your furry kids company and make them feel safe and loved.

Outstanding! Excellent care to our dog. Very cheerful and goes above and beyond on everything she does. Sent precious pictures of our dog. Great contact with us. We will sure use her again. We had a relaxing time away thanks to her.

Karen was so great with my 2 boys. She sent lots of pictures/updates and was very communicative.

Karen did an incredible job with my dogs. As someone who is super type A about the care I want from my dogs, Karen checked every box, was super responsive, and followed the schedule/requests provided. Not only did she give great care, but left my home as clean as it was when I left. Would not hesitate to have her watch my dogs again.

We were so grateful to Karen for being available to do a meet-and-greet and provide two care visits for our cats on super short notice. After meeting Karen, we felt confident that she would be a great sitter and would carefully administer medicine according to our directions. She was kind, responsive, sent great pictures, and even went above and beyond by washing our cat's bowls. We would definitely recommend booking Karen for your pet sitting needs!

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.
