Pet care experience

There has never been a time in my life when I haven't had a dog or cat!! They become essential family members capable of brightening up any kind of day and that is such a wonderful thing. We lost our 85 pound Golden/Aussie mix 3 years ago 3 years ago which left a huge hole in our hearts. Recently we brought home a 4 year old, 93llb Berner that is an absolute love!! I've also taken care of other family member's pets over the years. I am honest, reliable and trustworthy and will ensure that your pets are treated with respect, a great deal of love and compassion and we will have fun together!! If during a drop in visit they seem lonely I'll stay extra time to ensure that they get all of the loving that they are missing from you! I can send photos during your absence as well so that you can see that their well being is my number one priority! You will always be able to count on me and your pets will be safe and happy in my care!

Karen got along with our cats wonderfully. She coaxed the shy one out of hiding and immediately engaged the other. Couldn’t ask for a more gentle, caring, conscientious sitter.

Karen was amazing with my girl Wanda! Karen was so great with getting back to me and sending me updates. She is so lovely and sweet, and my cat thought so too! Will definitely book her again in the future! I highly recommend 😊
