Pet care experience
Hey there! I'm Karen, since 2011 I've had the absolute joy of pet sitting and caring for a wide range of furry friends! 🐶🐾 From foster dogs to small and large breeds, and even those with special needs. If you’re looking for someone who can take care of your fur baby full-time, I’m your girl. I have the unique opportunity to work from home with very flexible hours, allowing me to take your pup out several times a day and keep them engaged. 🏠 A Home Away From Home 🏠 I believe in creating a warm and safe environment for your furry companions while you're away, so they feel just as loved as they do at home. I encourage you to leave them with me with their favorite bed, toy, and snacks. 🐶 Meet Sucia and Bobita 🐶 My journey with fostering dogs has been incredibly rewarding, helping them build confidence and social skills to find their forever homes. 🏡💕 I'm now a proud fur-mom to two adorable chihuahuas, Sucia and Bobita. We’d love for your pets to come visit and hang out! 💕 Personalized Care & Playtime 💕 As I work from home, your precious pups will have the luxury of numerous outdoor breaks throughout the day! 🌞🌳 Whether they're romping around with my two small dogs or enjoying some quiet time in their own crate, their comfort is my priority. 🌼 Sunbathing and Garden Sniffs 🌼 My fenced-in patio provides the perfect sun-soaked spot for your furry pals to bask in the warmth and explore my veggie garden! 🌿🌞 They'll have a paw-some time exploring nature's wonders right in my backyard. 🏠 Small Dog Paradise 🏠 With my own chihuahuas at home, I'm thrilled to offer my pet-sitting services to other small dogs, creating a safe and playful environment for our pint-sized pals! 🐾😊 📸 Picture-Perfect Memories 📸 I know how much you cherish your pets, so if you'd like, I'll be more than happy to capture their joyful moments throughout the day. Expect a gallery of adorable pictures to melt your heart! ❤️📷 If you're searching for a compassionate and dedicated pet sitter, look no further! I can't wait to shower your furry friends with love and attention. Let's ensure your pets have a paws-itively wonderful time while you're away!
Reviews
Karen was so good with my Gryz. I was not wanting to leave him with anyone and she did a great job. I got pictures. She followed feeding instructions perfect and was very punctual with correspondence. I highly recommend Karen.
Karen is amazing with my dog when he stays with her for daycare. She is very patient and is always able to make sure he is comfortable and happy. She also takes the time to play with him and make sure he is having fun. I always feel confident leaving my dog with her knowing he is in good hands.
Karen is awesome!! She was very welcoming and attentive of my pet. Karen took a last minute boarding stay which alleviated a great amount of stress off us.
Karen has experience with all kinds of dogs from little bitty ones to big ones. My dog is very nervous around people but she always felt comfortable with Karen. She is very understanding and patient with dogs and their needs. I always felt comfortable leaving my doggies with her!

Safety, trust & environment
As a devoted pet sitter, I go above and beyond to ensure that the pets in my home receive the utmost love, care, and attention. Here's a glimpse into how I provide a safe and comfortable environment for my furry guests: Personalized Attention: Each pet is unique, with their own personalities and needs. I take the time to understand their preferences and routines, tailoring my care accordingly. Daily Exercise and Play: Regular outdoor walks and playtime are essential for keeping pets happy and healthy. I ensure that they get plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs, explore, and engage in fun activities. Safe and Pet-Friendly Environment: My home is carefully pet-proofed to eliminate any hazards and create a secure space for them to roam freely. Regular Bathroom Breaks: I maintain a consistent schedule for bathroom breaks, ensuring that pets are relieved and comfortable throughout the day. Socialization and Interaction: My own two small chihuahuas, Sucia and Bobita, offer a friendly and playful atmosphere for other small dogs, allowing them to socialize and make new furry friends. Grooming: I offer basic grooming sessions (baths and hair combing) to keep pets looking and feeling their best. Constant Supervision: I prioritize the safety of all pets and closely monitor their interactions and activities throughout the day. If I ever need to step out they are crated for their safety and comfort. Communication with Pet Parents: I keep pet parents updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos, ensuring they feel connected and at ease while they are away. Caring for pets in my home is not just a responsibility; it's a joy and a privilege. My commitment to providing a nurturing and happy environment ensures that every pet feels right at home with me.

A typical day
When it comes to fun activities for the dogs I watch, I strive to make their time with me enjoyable and engaging! Here are some of the delightful activities we'll embark on together: Adventurous Walks: We'll explore the neighborhood on our daily walks, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells. Playtime Extravaganza: Playtime is a highlight of our day! We'll engage in interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek. Watching them zoom around and play brings immense joy. Social Interaction: Your dog will have loads of fun with my own two chihuahuas, Sucia and Bobita. Together, they'll have a blast running around and forming new furry friendships. Relaxation and Cuddles: After all the excitement, we'll have moments of relaxation and cuddles. Many dogs love belly rubs and ear scratches, and I'll happily provide all the affection they desire. Patio Sunbathing: On warm and sunny days, we'll soak up the sunshine on my fenced-in patio. It's a perfect spot for the dogs to lounge, nap, and enjoy the fresh air. Training and Tricks: If you'd like, I can work on basic training commands or teach fun tricks. Positive reinforcement and encouragement go a long way in enhancing their learning experience.

As a devoted pet sitter, I prioritize my furry guests' well-being and happiness within my daily and weekly routine. I work from home so my flexible schedule allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly, ensuring that each pet receives the love and attention they deserve. On a typical day, I kick-start the morning with a refreshing walk, energizing both me and the pets in my care. Throughout the day, we engage in playtime and exploration in my pet-friendly home, neighborhood, and patio. I've designed my schedule to include multiple outdoor breaks, as I work from home, offering pets plenty of exercise and interaction opportunities.
