Pet care experience

Lugn och tålamodig med mycket djur erfarenhet

SVE | ENG | POR | ESP I've had animals my whole life and taken care of everything from dogs and cats to chicken. I'm experienced with kittens, rescue animals and training them. I work with patience and positive reinforcement when I train, and believe that it's important for the animals to feel safe at their own pace. Animals feel rapidly at ease with me and I love to get to know each and one of them as individuals and see their personality shine. ───────────────── Jag har haft djur hela mitt liv och tagit hand om allt från hundar och katter till kaniner och höns. Jag har erfarenhet med kattungar och med att rädda djur och träna upp dem. Jag jobbar med tålamod och positiv förstärkning när det kommer till träning, och tycker det är viktigt att djur får känna sig trygga i sin egen takt. Djur brukar snabbt känna sig bekväma med mig och jag älskar att lära känna varenda en som en individ och se deras personlighet lysa.

Karen was amazing! My cat is usually very shy, but she got comfortable with Karen so quickly☺️

Karen was amazing with my cat Teddy! She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures. Teddy looked very happy and relaxed during his stay. She made sure to play with him and give him all the attention he needed :) Thank you Karen!

I had a wonderful experience with Karen as a drop-in sitter. My cats trusted her very fast and I felt safe leaving them with her. Thank you so much!

Karen is very calm and patient with the animals. She gains their trust very fast and it shows that she's had many, many years of experience with animals. Her specialty are cats but she's also excellent with dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs and even horses. I can highly recommend her to take care of any animals.

Schedule

Currently I'm looking for jobs which means I have plenty of time to spend with the pets. I love cuddling with them when allowed to do so but my priority is always respecting their personal space, boundaries and needs. ───────────────── Jag är jobbsökande just nu, så jag har gott om tid att spendera med djuren. Jag tycker om att mysa med dem om de tillåter det, men jag respekterar alltid deras utrymme och behov.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of experience with older and sick animals so I know how to take care of them. My top priority is always safety so I don't have any plants that could be dangerous for them. I live in a 35m apartment. ───────────────── Jag har mycket erfarenhet med eldre eller sjuka djur så jag vet hur man tar hand om dom. Min top prio är alltid säkerhet så jag har inga plantor som är farliga för dom. Jag bor i en 35kvm källarlägenhet.

A typical day

With cats I usually sit on the floor and allow them to come up to me and get attention at their own level of needs. If it's something they're interested in then I like to play with them as well. When it comes to dogs I like to stimulate them mentally via teaching them tricks and taking walks to new places where they can sniff all the new smells. ───────────────── Med katter brukar jag se till att sitta med dom mycket och tillåta dom att vara med mig vid deras behov. Om det är nånting dom är intresserade av så leker jag med dom mycket. Jag gillar att stimulera hundar mentallt genom att lära dom att göra tricks och gillar att gå till parker till att utförska nya ställen och utsikter.

It's important for me to know a bit about the animals personality and habits, especially when it comes to food and how they are on walks. If it has any allergies of healthproblems it is vital that I know about them in advance. There is no such thing as too much information, the more I get the better it is. ───────────────── Det är viktigt för mig att få veta lite om djurets personlighet och vanor, särskilt matvanor och hur de är på promenad. Om de har några allergier eller hälsoproblem vill jag gärna veta det i förväg. Det finns inte för mycket information, ju mer jag får veta desto bättre kan jag ta hand om dem.
