Taking care of all the good boys!

Pet care experience

I have a cat in my home and they are extremely social. When I moved to my first apartment in college, I moved in with a roommate who had a loving senior German Shepherd with several health issues and I quickly became his guardian as my roommate was away a lot and needed someone they could trust to properly care of him. I am a responsible and loving caretaker for all fur children and I hope you feel comfortable putting your trust in me! If you ever have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me!

Second time with Karen watching my weird and at times, annoying, little guy. She is so good with him and it makes me feel so much better knowing that he is taken care of! We're big fans of Karen over here!

Karen is THE BEST. She watched two of our dogs for ten days, and by the end of it, they were both in love with her. She handled watching my quirky and neurotic chihuahua, which I treat like a literal human child like he was her own, and it made being away from him for that long so much easier. We also got pictures and updates the entire time. I cannot recommend her enough!!

I feel very lucky to have found Karen to take care of our cats when we're gone. She is very kind, and communication is fantastic. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs her services!

Book Karen!!! Karen was very helpful with my three cats on several occasions when I had last minute plans to go away. One of the cats is a senior with Hyperthyroidism and needs daily medication administered (in pill pockets or food). Super fast communication, flexibility, easy to work with - just all you really need in a quality pet sitter. Thank you for all your help, Karen!

I do not have any breed or age preferences but please let me know if your dog is not potty trained or has incontinence. I have unwaxed wooden floors in my apartment and I can’t have accidents inside.

I recently fostered a puppy and brought her to the park for daily runs. I also taught her tricks and fully potty trained her and leash trained her as well.
