Pet care experience

NO WORRIES

I have enjoyed taking care of dogs of every size and numerous cats in my lifetime and loved each one. I became a Rover sitter to help pet owners relax while they are away, knowing there is someone taking good care of their furbabies. I am trustworthy, dependable, and very respectful of your property and privacy (retired school teacher here!) I don't open closed doors or cabinets while in your home. I promise your pups or kitties will be in good hands with me and will receive much love and attention.

House Sitting • Aug 11, 2026

After our previously booked Rover had to cancel, we were stressed and worried about finding another Rover on short notice. Finding Karen was the best possible outcome. She is amazing and will be our first call from here on out. Blue was happy and well cared for and our home and plants were taken care of wonderfully.

Karen took care of my pup Bibi so well while we were abroad. She gave Bibi lots of attention and love and Bibi was very happy! We are very lucky to find her.

Karen is terrific with my pups, including my people-adverse Chiweenie. She is caring and thoughtful and I feel so at peace knowing she is taking care of them.
