Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving Pet Care!

I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have always loved animals. I’m currently a proud dog and cat owner, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy care for them. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will treat your animals like they’re my own.

Karen is absolutely wonderful with both dogs and cats! She has such a genuine love for animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. She is caring, attentive, responsible, and always makes sure pets are well cared for, whether that means feeding them, taking them for walks, giving them attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and loved. It’s clear that caring for animals is something Karen truly enjoys. She is trustworthy, dependable, and has such a kind and gentle way with pets. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone who will provide their furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve!

I can’t recommend Karen highly enough! She has been helping me with my dog hiking and boarding business, and I trust her completely with every dog in her care. She is kind, patient, dependable, and truly loves animals. The dogs are always excited to see her, and she takes the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Karen is wonderful with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know she’ll provide the same exceptional care for cats as well. Whether she’s stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking a dog for a walk, or caring for pets while their owners are away, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. Karen is wonderful with cats and other animals too, showing the same patience, compassion, and attentive care that make her so exceptional with dogs. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, and genuinely treats your pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Karen!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and just about every caged animal you can think of. I currently have a 3-year-old Maltipoo and a 5-year-old cat, so I understand how much our pets mean to us!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable! We’ll go for walks, play games, get plenty of attention and cuddles, and explore the neighborhood. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, meals, and everything they need to feel safe and loved while you’re away.
