Pet care experience

Let me take care of your furkids!

I’m an animal lover who will take care of your pet like they are my own. My boyfriend and I currently have a mini bernedoodle. My Sheltie passed away 6 years ago at the age of 15 so I have a lot of experience caring for dogs. We also have two cats so I definitely have experience with them too. I have petsat for several family members and friends over the years.

Karen is great and you can tell she deeply cares for the pets she watches. She sent tons of pictures and kept great care for both Jack (our dog) and Boone (our cat). We will definitely be using her again.

She was wonderful with our pups and because of that we were able to really enjoy our vacation. When we returned, our house was clean and our pups were happy. I am definitely calling Karen the next time we need a Rover.

Karen was wonderful with Gabby. Lots of walks and sent a lot of pictures, which we loved. She also took great care of our home. She will be our first choice going forward.
