Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I’d love to learn about their personality, daily routine, and any special needs they may have. Please let me know about their feeding and walking schedule, medications, favorite activities, and anything that makes them especially happy or comfortable. It’s also important for me to know how they interact with other dogs and people, any fears or triggers they may have, and any behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home with me.
A typical day
A typical day will include several walks, tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. For an energetic dog who loves to get out and explore, I’m happy to take longer walks and give them opportunities to socialize. For an older or more laid-back pup, we’ll enjoy shorter, leisurely walks at their own pace. Between walks, there will be plenty of attention, playtime, and of course, cuddles! If your dog is happiest curled up next to someone getting lots of love, I’m more than happy to be their snuggle buddy. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Rescue Foster & Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I am a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs, fostered rescued dogs while they waited for their forever homes, and helped family and friends care for their pets. Every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and that's exactly what I provide. Fostering rescue dogs taught me how to work with pets of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. Some needed extra patience while adjusting to a new environment, others needed help building confidence, and many simply wanted affection and consistency. That experience has made me a calm, observant, and compassionate caregiver. Whether you're away for work, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I'll make sure your pet receives the same love and attention they receive at home. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special preferences so they stay comfortable and happy while you're away.
Reviews
I highly recommend Karen as a pet sitter! She has cared for my dog multiple times, and I trust her completely. Karen is dependable, responsible, and genuinely caring. I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and know she will be safe, loved, and well taken care of. It gives me tremendous peace of mind to have someone I can trust so completely with my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Karen has watched my dog while we are on vacation for 5 years now! She gives my dog, Addison, all of the love and care we would want for her while we aren’t home. Addison goes absolutely crazy with excitement when she sees Karen and that’s the best feeling ever!
