Availability
I work from home as an independent contractor, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks and check-ins throughout the day. I love being outside, enjoy longer walks, and I’m currently training for an ultramarathon—so your dog will always have a willing, energetic walking partner.

About KAREN G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and any special needs so I can keep their day feeling familiar and stress-free. I use leashes on all walks unless otherwise requested, avoid unsafe areas, and closely monitor weather and trail conditions here in Tahoe.

Pet care experience
Dogs have always been part of my life. My family has trained working dogs, including avalanche and search-and-rescue dogs, which gave me a deep respect for canine behavior, safety, and communication. I’ve owned high-energy breeds like huskies and now have a playful golden retriever. Whether your dog loves long walks or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy.
Reviews
Karen was an outstanding sitter. She took exceptional care of Kitty and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. When Kitty had an accident, she communicated with us right away and took care of cleaning it up—something we really appreciated. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her.
Took excellent care of my elderly golden! Will book again!
Karen is a gem and someone I trust completely with my pup. She's been reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in her hands. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like their own, is reliable and communicative, and who will get your pup the exercise they need while you're away, you can't go wrong with Karen!
Karen is great! She's dog sat my dog many times and is awesome with her. She's a high energy dog and Karen is so good about making sure she gets enough exercise and adventures.
