Pet care experience

Let's walk! ☺

I've been around animals my whole life. When I was small, I had a huge fear of dogs, but I was able to overcome it and open up a whole new passion for animal companionship! Even my small allergic reactions to kitty scratches don't stop me from getting up close and personal. 100% an animal lover!! I am a new mom this year and can't commit to my own pet quite yet, but I would love to help you take care of yours!

Karen did an amazing job with our boy Cooper! She was able to accommodate us on very late notice before the holiday as Cooper developed a cough and we had to cancel our original boarding plans. She was so helpful and send us to many updates!

Karen was great! Kept us really informed throughout with texts, pictures and videos. She was so understanding when my pups anxiety got the best of her and she became a bit of a menace getting into food. Would absolutely book Karen again!

Karen is amazing! She was able to accommodate me and my pup for the weekend and she was very sweet. She catered to all of my girl’s needs and made sure to send updates the whole time. I can tell she felt right at home. Will definitely be booking again

Karen was wonderful with my cat when I traveled out of state for a week. I really appreciated how she played with Parvaneh and sent daily updates with photos. She followed care instructions perfectly and was very professional. I highly recommend Karen!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a larger apartment, just me and my son. I do not mind keeping the animals 100% integrated in the spaces or if they prefer, more separated. . There is a dog park located in the complex and I also live directly across the street from a large community garden and park with a nice walking path throughout.

A typical day

Whether indoors or outdoors, I give plenty of love and attention to animals I'm watching! Playing with toys, cooking good food, walking, or snuggling with a movie!

I definitely want to know if your pet has any special needs that I should be aware of or even unique preferences when it comes to their care!
