DEDICATED ANIMAL CARETAKER

Hello all! I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life including horses, turtles, hamsters, and especially dogs and cats! I currently have 2 Australian cattle dogs adopted from Oak Ridge and Knoxville. They have both passed advanced training at PetSmart! I can come in for home visits to check in on your pets and/or take them for long walks! If they need any other types of care such as feeding, changing litter, administering medicine, that can be done as well. I am dedicated to providing quality service to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and safe. Nothing is more important then making sure your animals are comfortable and well taken care of. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss the care you require!

I'm new to Rover and Karen represented the "Rover community" well. I'm looking forward to using Rover (and Karen) when I get another chance to take a vacation. Karen's notes and photos were great and gave me a great sense of relief that my cats were cared for while I was away. Easily 5 stars!

Karen was great. She came on time and gave me updates. I felt good leaving my elderly cat in her care

Karen is wonderful with our cats and doing those extras like bringing in mail. With her, we can leave town knowing she will be there for our pets and that she will handle whatever may arise.
