**** Hello and Thank You for reading my profile. I work a full time job but would be happy to spend time with your pets please message me for hours and availablity. ******* I have 3 big dogs of my own and recently acquired 3 black cats. Walking dogs, keeping them clean and healthy is my hobby. I don't mind cleaning up messes. I have had dogs and cats most of my life and truly believe that they are part of the family. I am willing to take care of cats also, feeding, brushing and changing litter boxes. Don’t tell my dogs but cats rule. I also work at a bank so I am bonded and finger printed. I have a clean record, good driving record and excellent credit. I also have good customer service skills and aim to please. I do have older children that have been around pets their entire lives. I have good transportation and will to travel in less than perfect weather conditions.

Karen was so fantastic and trustworthy, 10/10 will be booking for future trips. We got daily photos, and updates. Our one dog is hesitant with strangers and by visit two I could already tell from photos that he was warming up. Once we got home all the dogs seemed calm and cared for. Thanks Karen !

Karen has watched our cats a few times now and has done such a wonderful job! You can definitely tell that she loves animals from the care she puts into them. She was the first person we thought of when planning our trip and we will absolutely be calling her again for our next one!

Depending on the animal and their personality, I can watch pets at my house. I have two female dogs that are great with other dogs and I have a 10-year-old female cat and she isn’t good with anything she just hides.
