Availability

I work from home so have the time needed to give love and walks throughout the day. I would also be able to come to your house for walks and checks before work, after work and at lunch. When I am not working from home I travel a lot so that might be why my availability is limited.

Information Karen F. would like to know about your pet

I am experienced with dogs that are trained. I am not able to give meds to cats, but feel comfortable giving meds to dogs. I would also love to know if your dog is allowed on furniture or on the bed.

A typical day

I love to go for long walks but also snuggle on the couch to read or watch TV. My street is very quiet so perfect for nice long walks. I also have amazing neighbors that love to say hello to new friends.

Pet care experience

My husband and I had our own dog for 10 years. Since we lost him back in 2019, we haven’t been able to bring ourselves to get another. We would love to care for your dog or cat while you are away. I grew up with cats, and am a total cat person. Would not be able to cat sit in my home due to my husband’s allergies.

Karen was wonderful. I received pictures and updates every day and I could tell how much she loved being with my little fur baby. Upon pickup, my fur baby was happy and relaxed. I will definately use Karen again. 5plus stars!

Karen is great! Treated our dog like family. Sent updates with pics while we were away. He was so happy when I picked him up. We would love to have Karen watch our pup when we need in the future.

Karen is amazing! We can tell she loves our dog as much as we do and he has the most amazing time with her! When we're on vacation, he's on vacation at Karen's!
