Information Karen F. would like to know about your pet

How they are on walks, what their triggers are, are they treat motivated, best way is to setup a meeting with the owner present to meet the dog prior to the booking

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the dog park or on long walks to wear them out. I also love to play ball with them. I can help leash train them. Also socialize them by introducing them to my dog who is very friendly towards other dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve worked in the pet care industry for over 9 years and I’ve taken care of other people’s pets for over 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I currently work at petsmart and I’m trained in pet care. Before that I worked at petco. I’ve also walked dogs and pet-sat for much of my life. I’m the biggest animal lover you’ll meet. I have two cats, two bunnies, and one dog at home. I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I can provide references if needed. At my current job I take care of cats, reptiles, fish, small animals, and birds. Dogs are my favorite animal but I love them all. I believe in treating pets like family because they are family. I’m happy to do interviews too and I have had many satisfied customers. I’m able to do drop ins, walks, boarding at my home (if they’re small caged animals), doggy daycare, and overnight care on weekends at your home (when I don’t have my kids) let me know how I can provide care for your pets.

Karen was very thorough, communicated super well and went above and beyond watching our 2 cats for a month. Her love and knowledge of animals is very easy to see. We will be using her again next time! Highly recommended!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
