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, We appreciate everything that you do so that we can enjoy traveling knowing that Renzo is in good hands. Sorry about the smoke alarms. All the batteries died at the same time! We are also going away the last week of September. Will send you request ASAP. Thanks, Julia

Karen is wonderful and took great care of our dog and cat, Taffy and Minnie. She was very thorough and professional and very loving towards our two. Taffy and Minnie were so happy and relaxed when we got home after four days, I’m not sure they noticed we were gone, no stress or anxiety. I can’t recommend Karen any higher, she’s great!

Karen was so warm and helpful! Our kitty loved her instantly and she did a standout job looking after him, plus was so kind to do extra things to help out like bringing in packages!

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.

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.
