Pet care experience

❤️ dogs and I travel 2! #NO•worries

I work from home and travel frequently so I know how important a good sitter is! I have always had animals in my home and worked in a vets office years ago while I was in college. Good care and play time are important for my dogs and I make those a priority. I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were mine and don’t mind doing extras if needed; brushing, baths, nail trims etc... I even know a few minor grooming techniques :), but am definitely no professional in that area. I am easy going and would love to take care of your animals till you get back home. I am not afraid of special requests so please don’t hesitate asking if needed. Thanks!

I had the pleasure of having Karen look after my dogs, Abbie & Arlo. We had last minute travel changes and she was extremely flexible with the updates. From the start, Karen was professional, friendly, and responsive. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friends in her care. She took the time to get to know their routine, preferences, and quirks. Communication was excellent – I received regular updates and felt reassured throughout the entire time. She went above and beyond by sending updates/photos. When I came back, my dogs were calm, happy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Karen and will be using her services again in the future!

Karen is amazing - we came home to a clean house and three VERY happy puppies! I would recommend her to anyone. She has a special bond with animals, even our rescue (who can be a little skeptical) connected to her instantly!! She’s the best!

Karen, is just the best! We never worry when our Chevy is in her care. She is always respectful of our home and our dog's needs. We appreciate the constant updates / pictures and we know our baby is being spoiled when we are on vacation.

We had a great experience with Karen! Our fur baby absolutely loved her, and it was clear she took great care of him. She kept the house clean and tidy, sent regular updates and sweet photos, and was very easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely book her again. Highly recommend!!

I had a great experience with Karen! This was her first time sitting for us and she did a great job. Karen was reliable, communicative and cared about our girls’ comfort and happiness. I received regular updates, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Mila & Layla seemed happy and well cared for when I got back and the house was kept just as I left it. We’d absolutely trust Karen to pet sit again—highly recommend!

Amazing! I was so nervous about finding someone that I didn’t know to watch my old dog and sassy girl. Karen was awesome, my old man got really nervous and pooped and threw up and Karen was so kind about it and understanding. She went above and beyond to clean it up. I can’t thank her enough for taking care of my babies.

Is the dog spayed/neutered and ever had any aggression issues (even with food!)? Not afraid but I definitely appreciate a truthful heads up. Your answer won’t scare or keep me from booking your request, just FYI :).
