Your pet will never be left alone! I’m a retired nurse so my schedule is open and flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine allowing me to give dogs in my care plenty of attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime and cuddle time. I can easily accommodate medication schedules, and each dog’s routine.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for dogs. I provide a secure, pet-friendly home where small dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos while they’re away. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving space where dogs feel cared for and right home. I know how expensive pet care can be so, as a courtesy, I keep my Rover prices as low as I can. Hope it helps.

Because SMALL DOGS deserve BIG LOVE
Pet care experience
I specialize in small dogs (up to 30#) and provide a cozy, calm home environment, where they get plenty of individual attention, playtime and affection.. I also have experience caring for Senior dogs, and understand the extra patience and gentle care that they sometimes need. I’m comfortable administering medication and following special routines to make sure older pups stay comfortable and well cared for. I treat every dog like it’s my own, so you can feel confident that your little one is in loving attentive hands. Your dog will be our only guest unless you have two dogs in your family and that’s the only way we’ll have multiple dogs.
Reviews
Karen is great! She kept my dog Olive over the weekend recently. When Olive and I went for the meet and greet, Olive made no growling noises(which she usually does either new people), and was prancing around smiling while we were there. She sent lots of pictures and took great care of Ms Olive. Her dog Tulip was also a generous host. Don’t hesitate to book a stay or walk with Karen 🌸🐾
We are so happy to have found Karen. She provided a walk for our pup Howie and now we have found our sitter. It makes such a difference knowing your dog is with someone who genuinely enjoys them. Highly recommend and will absolutely use Karen again.
My puppy River is in love with Karen and it only took one walk! I really appreciated all of the questions that Karen asked understand how best to take care of Little River. She was very thorough and also was able to be flexible when needed. I trust that she is creating an exceptionally safe and caring environment while taking care of my puppy. Excited to use her again soon!
I recommend Karen wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter. When I was looking for someone to care for my animals, I wanted someone who would love them as much as I do. Karen is exactly that person. I trust her completely with my home and with my animals, who mean the world to me. She is one of the most loving and trustworthy animal caregivers I have ever had. Anyone lucky enough to have Karen care for their pets will know they are in wonderful hands. Caring for animals is not just something she does, it is something that truly comes from her heart.
