Pet care experience
I’ve been petsitting with Trusted Housesitters for a few years now, in Canada and abroad, and have had lots of experience with looking after friendly dogs of all sizes, cats with all kinds of personalities, and also fish, guinea pigs, goats, chickens and ducks! I have over twenty five-star reviews on that site. I’m now semi-retired and work mostly from home and would like to earn a little income doing something that I love.
Reviews
Karen is amazing! Shes super friendly and knows dogs well. I feel completely confident leaving my high energy pup in her hands. He always comes back happy and satisfied. Shes super quick to respond and always on time. So happy we found her so close to home. Have booked many times and will continue to do so!
We had Karen come and walk our dog while we were on vacation. She was professional and down to earth and our sheepadoodle liked her right off the bat when she came to meet him before our trip. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away which reassured us that he was in good hands and having fun. Would definitely have her walk our dog again in the future.
Karen is reliable, professional, and supportive. Her communication is always prompt. Our pup is always thrilled to see her and we know he enjoys his adventures with her. We are so thankful for Karen!
Thank you, Karen for walking and visiting our dogs while we were away. It was lovely to see your updates from every visit.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m very patient with pets, even the ones that might be cautious or anxious at the start. I calmly give them time to get comfortable with me. I can give meds, change diapers, and clean up a mess.
Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet
Only friendly dogs, please. I’m not too comfortable around pit bulls and German shepherds. I do have experience with big dogs, special needs and senior dogs and cats, and also ones still being trained. Does your pet have any special needs? Do you prefer your dog to be on or off leash? Do you want me to walk or run with your dog? I can do both!
A typical day
I am familiar with all the trails in North Van and am happy to take your dog for a walk or run in the forest, or even on the snowy trails of Mt Seymour. Also happy to just go for a walk in the neighbourhood. Can be 30 mins or a few hours.

Availability
I only work a few hours a week now, and spend a lot of time on the North Shore trails and also walking around the neighbourhood. I have a lot of free time and flexibility to walk your dog or drop in to see your dog or cat or other pet.
