Pet care experience

Peace-Of-Mind Care by Karen

Having been a lifelong animal enthusiast and pet owner, I bring 15 years of hands-on experience from my involvement with a local animal rescue to my pet care services. I am adept at caring for a diverse array of animals, from neonate kittens to senior cats, as well as dogs, and fish. My skills include administering medications (oral, liquid, insulin injections with blood glucose monitoring), managing feeding tubes, and providing subcutaneous fluids. I am also comfortable with all types of diets, including fresh and raw. As a retired teacher, I am highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of care. My aim is to offer you peace of mind while you're away, and I am available to help with household tasks like collecting mail and watering plants.

We have greatly appreciated Karen talking care of our 2 cats while we were out of town a few days. They were well cared for, and loved the pictures and updates! Above and beyond.
