Hi my name is Karen. I am new to "Rover" but not new to pet sitting. I am a caring, responsible, honest medical professional. I love cats, dogs and all furry creatures. In my opinion the most important feeling when we are away from home is that someone loving and caring is taking good care of our pets. I would like to pay that forward and give you that calm, trusted feeling with no worries. In my medical profession I considered myself a patient advocate. A liaison between doctor and patient, always looking out for the patients best interest. Being able to anticipate their needs to be sure they are comfortable. This can ALL be applied to pet sitting. I will be that someone you can count on and trust. I will be your "peace of mind" when you are not home. Pets are with us for such a short time, I think they deserve the most loving, caring life possible. And of course if you know your pets are happy, you will be happy too.
