Pet care experience
Stay home mom to luv on your dogs!
I love animals of all kinds but dogs have a special place in my heart. My mother used to be a Rover sitter for years and she convinced me to try it since I love animals. I have had pets all my life growing up in NJ. Dogs, cats, fish and even a duck but her quacking kept us up all night so my parents brought her to a wildlife center. My brothers and I were 'those' kids that rescued all the stray animals in the neighborhood so we always had multiple pets in our house. When I lived in NYC before I met my now husband, I wanted to rescue a dog but my apartment building didn't allow pets so instead of a dog, I rescued 2 kitties ( they are easier to hide than a dog) My girls (Betty and Veronica) came with us on the move to Colorado. They lived to be 17 and 18 years old and had a great life with us. I was also a volunteer at the ASPCA when I lived in NY and worked with the pups. My family now consists of my husband, daughter and our fur baby Izzy. She is supposed to be half Havanese and half Lhasa Apso but we call her our 'knock off" and we adore her! She loves being around people and other pets. I left the corporate world to spend more time with my family and I haven't looked back! It would be an honor to take care of your fur babies.

Ratings and reviews
I always know that my dogs are safe and having fun when they are at Karen’s house! Lucky to have found such a fantastic dog sitter :)
Fantastic as always! I’m so grateful we can send our dogs to Karen and her family — they’re always so loved and well cared for while they’re there!
Karen and her family are so wonderful! Our doodle always enjoys her time with them!
We love using Karen as our dog sitter! I always know my dogs are in the best hands while we are gone 😊
Our experience with Karen was great. She provided daily pictures of our pup which was really nice. Her family was nice and sincerely cared about our pup. Her home was very nice and the backyard was perfect for pups to enjoy. Would not hesitate to use her service again.
Home away from home! Nobody wants to leave their pets behind on a trip but that isn't always feasible. Leaving our dog with Karen has and will continue to leave us with the peace of mind that she is being treated with the utmost care and with the utmost attention as she would at home (even more so at times..read let her sleep in her bed even!). I have used Karen 2x now. As we rounded the turn to arrive at Karen's house my dog started getting very excited (in a good way) to be where she was. She wasn't shaking as she does when she was being dropped off at the boarding facility. She was actually excited! This gives a pet owner the peace of mind that she will be well taken care of, aka, Maisy approved! Karen goes above and beyond in my opinion of what is expected of a pet sitter. I highly applaud Karen and recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs!

A typical day
We have a great grass fenced in yard with a patio and awning. We have dog toys all over the house. Your dog will get walks around our neighborhood which is safe and has many families. We are a family of pet lovers so your dog will get loved on all the time.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatKaren can host up to 2 pets per night
- I have listed the weight up to 40 pounds but We can take dogs up to 35 pounds. Rover doesn't list that as an option. It is very important that your pup is up to date on their vaccines. Please be able to provide me with copies of their vaccines. This is not meant to be difficult. This is for the benefit of all our fur babies. They are family and we need to make sure they are taken care of especially if they will be around other pups. If your pup is a marker you must bring belly bands or diapers.
