The Best Care for your Best Friend

Pet care experience

Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I love spending time and taking care of them. I grew up with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hermit crabs but remember always wanting a dog. Finally, In 2005, I got my first dog, Percy and my life changed forever. Shortly after, I ended up taking a hiatus from my corporate job and took a job walking dogs which led to pet and house sitting. I came to realize I preferred spending my days with the dogs and cats instead of a stuffy office. Since then I’ve walked many dogs of all different shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities and pet sit many cats and loved them all. Every one being special in their own way. It’s great to do something that puts a smile on your face every day! If you choose me to take care of your babies you can trust in knowing they will be taken care of as if they were my own. I am comfortable handling any breed of dog or cat and have experience with senior pets and medications. I’m good with details and directions so if you want your dog walked a certain way or medications to be administered I’ve got it covered. I would also bring in the mail, water plants, and take care of any other household pet including cats, rabbits, reptiles and fish. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

As always, Karen is a phenomenal cat sitter. She is so careful, attentive and takes amazingly good care of our two kitties so we don't have to worry about anything while we are away. Cagney & Lacey love seeing her and we appreciate her so much!

Karen is the BEST. I am so sure that she will give my furbaby the care and attention she needs (and extra). She eases my mind that when I am out of town, my baby will be loved and taken care of.

Our Morkie does not like strangers and is always afraid someone is going to take either us away or him away. Karen made friends with him instantly and by the second visit, he adored her! She really knows how to win over a dog. When she came over the third time, he was so excited to see her. In addition to all of this, Karen is always on time and so pleasant and courteous. We could definitely tell she loves what she does.

Karen is fantastic. She is so wonderful with my furbaby. I never have to worry about my baby not having love, attention, and care.
