Pet care experience

I WILL LOVE YOUR PET LIKE MY OWN!

I have had animals most of my life and I can’t imagine life without at least one pet. At this time I have 1 dog. He is a Yorkie mix. Looking for a kitten to join our family. They are always considered family. I have a fenced back yard and a very friendly dog who thinks all dogs (and cats) are his friend. He will love to play with your fur baby! If needed, I can crate your pet.

Karen and her husband Paul went above and beyond to take care of Smoke and Bandit. They were able to help my mom and me on a very short notice, and I’m so grateful for everything they did for us and for my mom’s fur babies. They are incredibly gracious, and their home is truly a comfortable, welcoming place where dogs can feel right at home and have a little buddy, Rudy (he's adorable) to play with! Their fenced‑in yard gave the dogs plenty of space to play and soak up the sunshine, and I received constant updates and photos from Karen—which I appreciated more than she knows. She even checked in after I picked them up to make sure they were doing well. If you want your pet to be in a safe, loving home, please reach out to Karen. I can’t recommend her enough!

Karen and Paul were amazing ..They took wonderful care of Bella and were very flexible .. Bella got along very well with them and their dog, Rudy :) I would definitely recommend Karen as a Pet Sitter and would give a five star rating :)

Karen, Paul, and Rudy were wonderful! We regularly got pictures, videos, and updates. Our dog, Appa, loved his week with them. We’d love to work with them again.

Karen and her husband Paul went above and beyond taking care of Tia. She can be a handful for a less than 10 lb dog and they handled everything well. Thanks so much for putting us at ease on our vacation.
