Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I'm a very affectionate caregiver and love showering dogs and cats with lots of pets and snuggles. Each pet gets treated as if they were my own. As an avid traveller, I know what it's like to leave your pet in someone's care and the disappointment that can come when the caregiver does not live up to your expectations, and I vow not to do that to another family. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect.

Karen was great! Very responsive and comfortable with Bean. Would recommend and will use her again for a walk.

I can’t recommend Karen highly enough. She is incredibly trustworthy and responsible, and it shows in everything she does. She grew up in a home where there were always a couple of dogs and a couple of cats in the family, so she was raised loving animals and learning how to care for them. She now has three cats of her own and they are all wonderfully cared for, healthy and happy. I have asked her on several occasions to take care of my dog and cat, and I have always been confident that they were in great hands. Every time I return, it's like they barely knew I was gone because she took such great care and ensured they received everything they needed. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Karen is the perfect choice.
