Pet care experience

Pleased to peek in on your pups!

I have always loved dogs and cats! I am happy to peek in on your fur babies while you need to be away. Will provide whatever care is necessary. Years of experience! Accommodating, caring and reliable. I will treat your pet just as you would, like family! Whether a walk outside to potty or a quick run around the fenced yard, I will provide you and your pet with outstanding service with attention to detail. Cat care is also available. I will provide service locally. I will always clean up/pick up after your pup. I enjoy snuggling the cats and dogs. I spent 34 years caring for young children so I come well equipped with patience, understanding and compassion. Book a sitting with me today for an excellent, safety conscious visit for your sweet fur baby!

Our elderly dogs have special needs, but Karen sent us more pictures than expected showing how well they were doing, so we wouldn't be worried while we were away. Thanks Karen!

Karen loves animals. She’s very patient with them and treats them like people. Your pets are surely in good hands with her whether it be a walk or dog sitting. I’ve trusted her to take care of my dog for years.

Karen was excellent with my dog. She was very prompt, responsible and trustworthy. My dog loved her. I will be using her in the future and would highly recommend.

Karen took great care of my 2 dogs. She also went above and beyond to make sure they had everything they needed prior to leaving.
