Home away from home

Pet care experience

I have had a love of all animals my whole life. I’ve always had dogs and/or cats in my life. They are always treated like family in my home. Lots of love and attention. I have a 3.5 year old lab mix Hudson who love all animals cats and dogs. If the cats don’t want a lot of attention he is very mellow and respectful. We just lost 2 senior pups and are looking forward to sitting for some lucky pup who gets to relax on all our dog beds or the snuggly sofa!

I have known Karen for several years. She is one of the kindest people that I know. She is an experienced and responsible pet owner who loves and cares for animals. I would wholeheartedly recommend Karen for a Rover pet sitter.
