The PURRRFECT sitter for you! Meow!

I’ve had cats of my own since I was six years old and have cared for cats belonging to others throughout my life. I will love on and play with your fur kids as much as they will allow! I never force myself on a cat … I let them come to me when they are ready. 😻

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a senior tortoiseshell cat and a black “house panther”! They are the best! I have had many pets throughout my life - cats, dogs, fish, parrots, parakeets, turtles, hamsters, even antelopes & monkeys! (I lived in Africa for 10 years). I understand how important it is for pets to remain in familiar surroundings when their owners go out of town so I will come to them! Your pets will be well-cared for and receive plenty of attention while you are gone. I will administer any medications they may need and will feed them as instructed. There is a small medication fee, just $5/pet/night.

Karen is great! This is the second year in a row that I’ve used her for my niece's cats. My niece is not able to do the booking for her cats. Karen always keeps in touch, sends photos of the cats, and keeps me up to date so that my niece doesn’t have to worry about leaving home. Karen, thanks so much!

Karen was great! Would absolutely hire her again. She was super responsive and communicative. Any question or info that I sent her was responded to very quickly. She sent lots of photos and updates. Also, this was not a typical situation. I hired her to feed my niece's cats while my niece came to visit me as my niece lives in an assisted living facility (she has Alzheimer’s) and is not able to coordinate hiring someone. Karen understood the situation clearly. Both my niece and I felt very good about the care he cats were getting. Five stars plus!

We’ve used Karen several times over the past few years to watch our kitty fur babies and we always feel that they’re in excellent hands!

Karen is an absolute treasure! She has taken such good care of my dog, Moose, and my parents’ dog, Covey Belle, on several occasions! She also made sure that our bunny got lots of cuddles and love! Karen was attentive and responsive. She sent many pictures updating me as to how the fur-babies were doing (as I’m a neurotic dog mom, LOL). She treats your babies with all of the love, care, and concern that you do as a pet parent! I highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She is so kind and respectful!
