Pet care experience

Energetic PE Teacher

I live in a 3 bedroom house in Itasca. There is a great park less than a block away from my house for walking or throwing a ball. I have a dog friendly cat named Button. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible in my home. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make that happen. I am open to many kinds of special requests. I would love to set up a meet and greet before booking any stays to make sure my dog gets along with your pet. I am a retired local teacher with pet sitting experience.

Karen is great. She is super caring and sends many photos. We love leaving our dog with Karen because we know she will be treated like one of the family.

Karen was amazing and our dog just loved her! I felt so at ease knowing Karen would be here to let her out, feed her, love her and walk her. I highly recommend Karen E.

We felt comfortable knowing Sadie was in good hands. Karen sent us regular updates & pictures of Sadie. We highly recommend Karen. She treated Sadie like her own dog.
