Furever Love

I know how important it is for you to know your BFF is in a good safe loving environment while you are away. Rest assured that will be the case when I’m with your pet. I understand the importance of administrating meditation, structured mealtimes, playtime, and snuggle time. My dog was a diabetic and required insulin shots twice a day. I was extremely picky as to who I asked to watch over her when I was on vacation. I understand!!

Karen helped watch our kitties over Thanksgiving and even sent us a happy Thanksgiving video from our fur babies! We are continually grateful for her help and care of our kittens when we travel.

Karen was such a blessing to meet and work with. She helped us out tremendously in caring for our young kittens for two almost back to back pre-planned vacations. Leaving them alone so young and so new to our household was really stressful, yet Karen made it very stress free. Karen stayed in constant communication and sent picture updates to share how our kitties were doing. She took care of our house while we were away and was so considerate to even ask us if we needed any groceries before we returned. She left us the cutest framed pictures of our babies on the countertop when we returned, which was an adorable surprise. We are so grateful to her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and/or home while they are away. We will be reaching out to her again!

We recently hired Karen to home sit and care for our two kittens while we were away on a week long trip. Adopting kittens was unplanned and it was stressful leaving them home for a trip that was pre-planned. From the moment we met Karen, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and kitties were in good hands. Karen was reliable, respectful, and kept everything running smoothly while we were away. She communicated with us frequently and sent a few pictures of our kitties while we were away. Most importantly, our kittens were clearly loved and well cared for—they were calm and happy when we returned, which speaks volumes. We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter. We will absolutely work with her again!

Karen is a compassionate and intentional sitter. We arranged a meet and greet and we walked her through the house as she took notes and asked questions about everything/anything to care for our pup. She was available on relatively short notice (about a week) and Kona loved her! She gave us informative and sweet updates multiple times a day in the Rover app. She sent pictures of our girl so we knew she was comfortable and having fun. If you're looking for a reliable and responsible sitter to watch your fur babies, look no further. Karen will definitely be utilized for further sits!

Karen is very professional and responsible. My Zoie is 14+ years old and a little set in her ways but Karen is so kind and gentle that I never worry about a thing. I can confidently recommend Karen to anyone and know that their fur baby will be well taken care of.
