I have a crate at home and also a spare bedroom should they need a quiet space as well as big yard (but not fenced so will still have to ve leashed) I can also come to you for day stays which is the preferred method. Depending on the pets demeanor and size, I can pet sit at home (if they are cat friendly) or pet sit in the comfort of your home.

Information Karen G. would like to know about your pet

How their demeanor is, if they are dog friendly and what energy level they have. Also if they have any resource guarding or certain fears that I need to be aware of.

A typical day

Trail walks, walks around the neighborhood, throwing a ball in the yard or simply letting them play with my dog who loves to play with any dog who is willing to play.

Pet care experience

I have been in the veterinary medicine field for 9 years. Starting in general practice to ER to now Oncology (while still picking up ER shifts). I am well rounded in pets needs and know what to look out for should your pet need medical attention. I am comfortable giving any and all medications for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small mammals.

Karen is a very reliable pet sitter that truly cares about the pets she cares for. Even though my cat can be difficult and mean she is always willing to try to play with her and give her attention. I highly recommend Karen for any of your pet-sitting needs.

Karen is great with pets of all kinds. Not only does she have experience with pet sitting and caring for her own pets, she has a lot of emergency experience from working in busy emergency veterinary clinics. Every time she has pet sit for us, she sends pictures and videos to ease our minds. Our pets show how much love they receive from her and they absolutely love her. I highly recommend her as a loving and responsible pet caregiver.

I have had the pleasure of working with Karen for over a year now and she is a total joy. She is so reliable, responsible and attentive to my 3 year old dog (and 2 cats) and I am so grateful to have her looking after the fur babies! She has been consistently communicative whenever my partner and I go out of town and is always so flexible with our schedules. All the animals love her which makes the anxiety of leaving them so much easier! Hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had the joy to know.
