Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Personalized Pet Care
As a lifelong pet lover, I make sure every pet in my care feels comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Because I’m home full time, your pets will receive plenty of playtime, love, cuddles, and personalized attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s special personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. My number one priority is your pet’s safety and wellbeing and I create a calm, secure, and loving environment. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral needs and can also administer medication if needed. For your peace of mind, I have full coverage insurance and I don’t take in more than two outside dogs for daycare or boarding at one time so each one receives individual, personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, older, or needs extra reassurance, I’ll provide patient, loving care customized to their needs. Your pets will enjoy all of the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you are away!

Ratings and reviews
Most kind thoughtful walker! Great to work with. Good communicator too
Karen was a fantastic caretaker for our dog Murphy! We will not hesitate to book with her again for our next trip! Communication was excellent and Karen was very professional and thorough throughout the process. We enjoyed the regular updates/pictures throughout the stay. Her own dog and cat are very sweet and gentle as well. Thank you so much, Karen!
Karen is one of those people I genuinely trust with my dog. She’s caring, responsible, and really good with animals. She’s also super active and is able to take dogs on longer walks or even hikes if they need more exercise and outdoor time. I know she treats any dog she watches like her own and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and trustworthy to care for their fur baby!
Karen is the best! Daisy was well taken care of and we received plenty of updates. Will use her service again!
I've known Karen for over 20 years and have had her care for my cats on several occasions. I can always tell when a cat sitter doesn't take good care of them because they would be needy upon my return. That was never the case when Karen took of them. Karen has a huge heart for all animals and has fostered several dogs in the past. Karen has told me that taking care of animals is her dream job in life! I highly recommend her and promise you will be happy that you hired her to take care of your babies.
Karen is amazing! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay and took incredible care of my boys. Will definitely be going to Karen again!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet friendly space with toys and cozy places to relax, and I closely supervise playtime and interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I also keep owners updated and respond promptly to any concerns, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
