Safety, trust & environment

After a free initial meet & greet (or video chat if long distance), I will provide your furry family members with all the care, love and attention that they are used to - and in their own home. This naturally includes feeding, fuss & play, brushing, cleaning pet dishes and litter trays and spending quality time with them (I love a lap cat!). If walking your dog I'd be very careful to follow your instructions and would keep them on the lead for safety. I will travel by car so am happy to bring my own bedding and food (no problem if it needs to be vegetarian or vegan). I am DBS checked and will respect your privacy and any out of bounds areas, so please be reassured that your house and belongings will be safe and respected.

Information Karen F. would like to know about your pet

Do let me know all about your cat or dog and their likes, personality and dislikes. I'll also need to know about any nervousness or reactive behaviour etc., so that I can pet or walk them accordingly. I love big dogs (I helped out at a Great Dane Kennels when young) and am amenable to walking them if they are well behaved.

A typical day

I love walking in nature so I'd make that a focus for walking your dog - even the parks have lots of exciting sounds, smells and sights. If cat sitting, I'll always be guided by the cat whether to play or fuss, or just to feed and observe - they know what they want and who's boss!

Reliable Kind Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have a special love for animals, especially cats and dogs and they seem to like my caring personality. My own beloved cat recently crossed the rainbow bridge aged 19, allowing me to begin housesitting for your own lovely pets.

Karen was absolutely amazing with our cat Stacey! She was so reliable and helped give stacey her meds and spend time with her while we were away, we couldn’t recommend Karen more!
