Pet care experience
Treating your Furry Baby as my Own!
I'd love to be your professional pet sitter! When I'm with your fur baby, they are my full-time concern. I'll send you pictures of your happy pet while you are away. I know animals miss their humans, and I do everything I can to make their stay-cation with me enjoyable while you are away. My clients call my home the Petz Carleton. I am privileged to have so many furry friends return. It does my heart proud when they come running up to my front door for another stay-cation at their home away from home. You can rest assured that no one will give your loved fur baby more attention and better care than I will. Taking care of others' pets so they can relax while they are away is my mission!

Ratings and reviews
I left my toy poodle Slippers in Karen's care for an extended stay - I appreciated great communication and her fun daily updates! Karen asked very detailed onboarding questions about Slippers' routine and idiosyncrasies, and I felt that she got the attention that she's accustomed to while in her home. Thanks, Karen for spoiling Slippers and cooking specially for her!
From the very beginning, I felt completely confident leaving Dexter with Karen. She immediately put me at ease, and I trusted her to care for him just as lovingly and attentively as I would. Dexter had an amazing time, and I’m so grateful we found Karen. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Karen took great care of our dog in our home. She was so attentive to details in what our dog would need to be comfortable and left our home in tidy condition.
Karen did an excellent job caring for our old fur babies. She sent us pictures & updates of how they were doing all week. My house was immaculate when I got home too. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much for caring for them and keeping them so happy.
Karen is wonderful! When she watches our boys ( two small older dogs), she takes exceptional care of them. They get excited just to hear she is coming to watch them. Karen also waters my plants & keeps my outdoor bird feeders full and I always come home to a clean house. The boys miss her when she leaves- we just love her.
Our dogs love Karen! We feel very secure leaving our fur babies with her as she sends us updates with pictures. Excellent care giver who not only loves my dogs but takes care of our house too.

Schedule
I'm retired, but I do some freelance writing work, which takes eight or nine hours a week. My writing never interferes with my focus on your fur baby. I walk every day in my beautiful neighborhood and would love to have your pet's company. My schedule is open. I go to Church on Sunday mornings, and feel free to reach out for more references to Mymemos. That is the Yahoo email address that I will respond to.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The meet-and-greet we do will be very thorough. I will ask lots of questions about your pet and take notes. I'll also want contact information for you, your vet, and a trusted friend. Once I have that information, your pet will be cared for like you were there. I'll show you where your pet will sleep if they are used to sleeping with mom and dad.
A typical day
Walks, toys, hugs, treats and cuddles. We may also watch a little Animal Planet. Dogs want to know they are loved when mom and dad are out, and I'm there to do just that. Your pet will be in good hands. The fur babies I watch are always happy to see mom and dad, but they're also happy to come back and stay with me. I have lots of toys. The noisier the toys, the more they like them!

- Let me know your dog's schedule. When we meet, I'll learn everything about your pet. I want them to get to know me, too. I also like to know their treat schedule so I don't overdo it. (I tend to give out treats, pets and hugs frequently during the day!)
