Safety, trust & environment
The care I provide will be consistent with what you desire. If you have a fenced yard and want your pet played with outside, I can do that. Leashed walks? No problem! Indoor play or snuggles and brushing? I got you!
Information Karen G. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful for me to know the following when you first contact me: * Does your pet have up to date vaccinations? * Does your pet need any medications? * What is their style of play/interaction with humans? * Does your pet anything I should be aware of such as marking, indoor accidents, separation anxiety, hiding/shyness, toy possessiveness, etc.?
A typical day
I am an active person, and I love walking dogs. I am also a distance runner; if your dog likes to run and does well on a leash, he/she can accompany me on runs if that is something that you desire. I am happy to play inside or outside or sit and snuggle. I aim to read what your pet wants to do and follow their lead unless you specifically want certain things. Just let me know!

Pet care experience
I've had pets most of my life. My experience includes caring for healthy and active dogs, cats, and rabbits as well as special needs dogs including seniors with severe arthritis, puppies, blind dogs, shy dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have experience administering oral, transdermal, and injection medications to cats and dogs. I do not charge additional fees for administering oral, transdermal, or injection medications. Whatever your pet's needs might be, I am able to handle it! AVAILABILITY: I am generally available mornings (8:30-10:30 a.m.) and late afternoon and early evenings (3:30 -5p.m.) for drop-in visits and walks every day of the week. I can sometimes accommodate visits outside these times, so just ask! DROP-INS & WALKS for DOGS: Whether your pup needs playtime, a fast or slow walk, belly rubs, or just someone to be around while they eat, let me know! I am comfortable with small, medium, and large breeds, low-energy or high -- I love them all! CAT CARE: I am cat-friendly and I really love caring for cats in the safety, comfort, and security of their own home! I can tend to your cat's feeding, grooming, play, litterbox, and social needs. I charge the same flat rate for up to two cats per visit. If you have more than two cats, no problem! I simply charge an extra $2 per cat beyond the first two cats per visit.

Reviews


The dogs were happy tail wagging, and having a great time when we got home Karen is great trusted and valued!


Karen was really great taking care of my two cats while I was gone for vacation. Loved the daily updates!

Karen did a wonderful job with my two friendly (i.e. needy) sphynx cats while we were out of town! She sent updates and photos for each visit, which was very much appreciated! Karen is very responsive to my messages and communicated well. Thank you for all of your help! We came home to two very happy cats and no messes in or near the litter boxes! I will most certainly be contacting her again!


5 stars again. Karen is a great pet sitter. Diligent and caring. We will continue to use her in 2021.
