No charge for pup loving 🐶💕
Pet care experience
Dogs have been part of my family for over 40 years. I have adopted and fostered dogs from rescues. I currently walk and sit with dogs for friends. I’ve cared for pups from ages 5 days old to 14 years old. I have been exposed to many breeds from Chihuahuas, dashhounds, labs, retrievers, bull dogs, pits, various spaniels, huskys, shepard’s, poodles, doodles, etc... I’ve rescued and fostered young kittens that needed to be hand fed. I’ve even done pet sitting for a bird and cat. My day job is as a Registered Nurse. I like de-stressing after work with pups. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a dog to soothe the soul, decompress the mind, and re-energize the spirit. Let me help relieve your stress and your pups stress while you are away. Let your dog(s) feel safe and loved at home while you’re away. Although I am fond of cats and I am happy to care for cats also, it is dependent upon my allergies. I am Extremely allergic to certain cats. Typically it is certain short-haired cats that my body reacts poorly to... Rarely do I have an allergic reaction to long-haired cats. Please understand that I am a nurse and that I take COVID19 seriously. I will have questions regarding your home cleanliness, social distancing, etc, related to COVID19 screening. When caring for your pet and staying in your home, I respect your privacy. I expect the same from you...no secret cameras, recording or listening devices, etc...
Reviews
Karen was prompt and sent several pictures of our dogs. She truly cared about our dogs and was a great sitter!
My dog loves Karen and we love her too. She is very caring and reliable. She is great with animals and your pet is in great hands with her. I highly recommend her.
We LOVE Karen! After a last-minute switch up left me with no sitter for Thanksgiving, I reached out to Karen to see if she could watch my two working bred Dutch Shepherds. Without hesitation she stepped in and handled everything like a pro, and I will be the first to say my two ding dongs are not the easiest to wrangle, especially when Mom isn't home! On top of my dogs being happy and healthy the whole trip (I got pictures through the holiday), Karen was very respectful of my house and belongings. Will use her again in a heartbeat, the dogs looked for her for days after I got home! Highly recommend Karen and her services!
Karen was great with our 2 Goldendoodles and respectful of staying at our home while watching them. She showed them lots of love and sent daily photos! She is very knowledgeable regarding caring for dogs. We felt comfortable being away knowing she was giving them lots of attention, taking them for long daily walks and providing plenty of belly rubs!

Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs? Any history of aggressive behavior at all? Any specific needs or expectations for your pup?
A typical day
I like to play fetch with dogs, or wrestle around a bit inside if they enjoy that; and give belly rubs, ear rubs, and butt scratch’s. If your dog is not leash trained (especially large dogs) I will not be walked (be pulled around) by your dog.
