Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like a part of the family. I offer a calm, safe, and cozy environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at home. I stick to each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s specific meal times, walks, crate time, or medications—to help reduce stress and keep things familiar. I supervise all play, provide enrichment throughout the day (walks, toys, cuddles, or quiet time, depending on the pet), and give lots of love and attention. I also make sure the space is secure, clean, and free of hazards.

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

🐶🐱 Basic Info • Pet’s name, age, breed, and gender • Whether they are spayed/neutered • How long they’ve been with the owner 🛠️ Daily Routine • Feeding schedule and type/amount of food • Potty or litter box habits • Walk times and leash behavior • Nap/sleep schedule • Crate use (if any) 😺 Behavior & Personality • Energy level and play style • Shy, anxious, or aggressive tendencies? • How they react to strangers, kids, or other animals • Any quirks, fears (e.g., thunder, vacuum), or habits

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality, age, and energy level—but the goal is always the same: to keep them happy, stimulated, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

As a dedicated pet sitter, I don’t just “watch” your dog—I care for them like family. What sets me apart is my experience, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of dogs at every stage of life. Whether you’ve got a bouncy new puppy or a wise senior pup, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs.

Karen made a last minute trip so easy and stress free when our usual sitter was unavailable. Coconut was very spoiled during the stay and came home so happy. We will be booking with her again for sure!

Very happy to leave Trixie with Karen. Their dog sunny is so sweet and Trixie was fascinated with Alaska, their cat.

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.
