I am willing to come to you to feed,play, walk, cleanup after your furry friends. Currently I am unable to bring your pets into my home as it would be unfair to my two kitties. I also live in a small two bedroom apt.

Karen was wonderful with my two cats and took really great care of them while I was away. She is very communicative and so easy to work with. I really appreciate her care and flexibility.

Schedule

I am currently available to house sit any time for several hours during the day or evening I will bring in your mail, put your grocery deliveries away and water your plants. Sorry I do not do sleep overs. I am unable to do so as I have pets of my own as well that require feeding, love and attention. I will be there to play, babysit, feed and make sure your pet is well taken care of while you are busy with an active life style.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Karen can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
I need to know if your pet has any special quirks, likes or Dislikes I need to also know what your pets eat, the amount of food that they eat and any oral meds That I would be required to given them and whether meds are given with food and the times they are to be given and how they are administered to them. Please note: I am not taking on any clients that require insulin injections. Please consider another sitter, vet assistant or veterinarian if that is what you require for your pet. Please note, that if your pet is really sick and I mean very sick and on its last stages, requiring many different types of medications or subcutaneous fluids, please consider another sitter or a trained veterinarian or vet assistant or emergency care for your pet. Thank you. Please be considerate and do not send me texts during the hours of 11pm and 7:45 am. You may send me text/requests at all other times and I will respond as quickly as I am able to do so. Thank you. Please note: as of December 17th, 2024 I am no longer accepting any clients in South Yonkers in the Ludlow Park, Getty Square and Waterfront areas of Yonkers, that includes Alexander Street. If you can’t provide parking for me, I’m sorry I can not accommodate you or your pets care. Please note: 🗒️ f your home requires more than 9 miles travel time one way from my residence I will be charging an additional fee to cover the additional expenses incurred for the extended travel time for bookings involving daily weeklong visits for summer and winter vacations. The minimum fee is $40. Thank you for taking time out to read my profile.
