Pet care experience

Pawsitively the Best Care!

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.

Boarding • May 29, 2026

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!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 22, 2026

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

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.

Pets

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.
