Pet care experience

RELIABLE EXPERIENCED 24 HOUR CARE

I have a deep love for all animals big and small. I've actually owned 6 dogs at 1 time! I am retired, allowing me to provide 24-hour care for your furbabies. Unlike other petsitters, when you board your furbabies at my home, I only care for 1 family's pets at a time. I've owned cats, cockatiels, an african grey parrot, a horse, a donkey, turtles, and fish. I was a dog show handler for my dalmatian, Bogie and won WD (Winners Dog) in the Austin major dog show.

House Sitting • May 28, 2026

Karen took great care of Olivia. There were many thunderstorms and Olivia was very scared. Karen took such good care of her. We will definitely contact Karen again if we need care for Olivia.

Karen was very responsive and attentive. I knew my dogs were well taken care of. I received a lot of photos. She even had toys for the dogs to play with!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 24, 2026

Karen was so good with Cooper. He has some trouble with separation anxiety but within 15 minutes of being with her, she sent me a picture of Cooper relaxed and sitting on her lap. It was so good to see pictures of Him playing, walking and then resting. I’d bring him back whenever I’m in the area.

Karen was a great Rover. We have used Rover dozens of times all throughout the country and Karen was the most attentive sitter we have used. She sent multiple photos each day and let us know what was going on with our dog. We were very pleased with the services she provided, and will not hesitate to use her again in the future.
