Peaceful patient active caregiver

Pet care experience

I've spent my career working with children with autism & special needs which has taught me to have a calm and assertive demeanor with animals. Frequent walks and/or mellow cuddle time with your pets feeds my soul as I love being in the company of animals. I have had dogs and cats as family members and have frequently cared for the animals of family and friends in their homes. You can trust that I will take excellent care of your pets and your home while you are away.

Karen was great with Winston who has anxiety meeting new people. Karen knew exactly how to treat him and gain his trust. She was timely and kept us informed of their time together. I definitely recommend Karen for pet sitting!

Karen did an awesome job taking care of my 2 pups while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she was a true animal lover. She was super communicative throughout the whole process, sending me updates and pictures of my dogs. Not only did she take great care of my furry friends, but she also went above and beyond by taking care of my house while I was gone. Overall, I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pet. Thanks again for everything!

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the needs of your animal and your routine, I will take them for walks (as many as are needed), play in the house or yard, feeding, brushing, cuddle time, etc. I don't mind watering plants, bringing in the mail or taking out the garbage as well.

Information Karen I. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your dog's temperament and his/her level of activity. I also like to know how they handle your absence and how they do with new people.

A typical day

This depends on what is best for your pet and what he or she enjoys the most! I'm glad to take your dog(s) to the dog park or beach for a swim, or just play tug-of-war or ball in the yard or in the house. I enjoy getting the kitties running, jumping and playing as well!
