Pet care experience

Pets are treated with love & care❤️

I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals, big and small! Family, friends, and neighbors and of course my very own. I have lots of experience with senior care for dogs. I had a toy poodle for 18 years, and she needed medical care the last 4 years of her life which I provided at our home where she was most comfortable. I now have two dogs, 16 years old (a schnoodle I rescued when he was 2 1/2) and a 13 year old miniature schnauzer. We love our dogs very much and they bring us joy every day.❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs and/or do drop in visits. I’m very reliable and a great communicator. I would also be available to help out with drop ins for cats as well. Growing up we always had dogs and cats. I also helped out with my parents cats as well as an adult.

Karen is caring, reliable, and a great communicator. She has taken wonderful care of my cat Romeow when I am out of town. I really appreciate her flexibility and her detailed updates! It is great to know he is in good hands when I travel, and I would definitely recommend her for all your cat sitting needs.

We had such a great experience with Karen caring for our dog, Lula! She was absolutely wonderful and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She made frequent drop-in visits to feed and water Lula, take her on walks, and give her plenty of attention and love. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Lula’s well-being. We loved receiving updates from each visit, and it was so reassuring knowing Lula was in such good hands while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and loving to care for their pets. We will definitely be booking her again! 🐾❤️

Karen was great! She was very thoughtful when caring for our two cats. She went above and beyond when our cats decided to throw up all over our rug.

This is our second time booking with Karen and I am going to say it again, she is the BEST. So accommodating, leaves the best little notes about the cats when she visited each day. So thoughtful and caring. We love her and hopefully will not use anyone to watch our cats besides her! If you get the chance to book her you should!

Schedule

I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 18 years and a social worker prior to that. I am looking for part time work since my duties as a mom have naturally shifted since my two kids are 16 and 18. I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend some time helping others with taking care of their furry friends.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Karen can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I’m a great communicator so would love to get all the helpful information I can about your pet so it ensures that we will have a fun visit! The more personal details I know about your pet ahead of time the better. I love hearing about all the unique and wonderful qualities each animal has!
