Pet care experience
I am a bit of an adventurous single gal, a little sporty ( snowboarding, skiing, SUP, hiking, yoga ) and have a healthy dose of travel fever - I get out of town frequently, near and far. I love a good sunny beach vacation and I love camping and road-tripping around Oregon. Around home I entertain myself with gardening, reading and cooking. I work in healthcare, variable hours and days which provides me with multiple weekdays off each week ( albeit not always the same days ). I live alone and work long hours on work days, so I have decided not to have a dog of my own... I believe in the therapeutic/healing aspect of pet companion ship and look forward to helping your pup(s) as much as they will help me. I am always looking for a buddy to join me on a stroll around the neighborhood or a short jog. I have a big heart and lots of love pouring out to shower on your furry friends! Note- when I offer to dog sit for you it means I have multiple days off in a row and will be spending a lot of time entertaining your pup. With your help, I am happy to tailor a schedule for your dog (jogs, hikes, trips to dog parks, etc). If I am overnight sitting you can count on me to walk your dog 2-3 x per day and have them with me the majority of the day.
Reviews
Karen watched Charlotte overnight on the night of my wedding. There aren’t many people I’d trust to do that and Charlotte seemed to have a great time! Thanks Karen!
Karen was right on time and incredibly friendly. Our dog loved her and she walked him a good ways in the two half hours she had him. Highly recommend!!!
My dog doesn’t warm up to strangers but she is happy to go on walks with Karen!
My dog is very nervous with strangers but Karen was able to get my dog to go on walks with her. I really appreciate her patience with my shy and nervous dog. I hope to use Karen again in the future!

A typical day
Neighborhood and park walks are my jam. I am always down for a good game of fetch too if that's a favorite. During the nicer months I get outdoors as much as possible and would love to take your pup on a hike or out to sandy delta park... And I'm wide open to any suggestions for new adventures or favorites or yours!
