Availability
My schedule is flexible. I was recently laid off from my federal employment, and am looking for full time work. So do not have a 9-5 office job, but I am working around job searching and social activities.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to stay with your dog while you are traveling, walk your dog while you're out for the day, and do drop-ins with your cat. I do not provide dog-sitting in my own home.
Information Karen J. would like to know about your pet
- How does your dog behave around other dogs (leashed and unleashed)? - Any allergies or health issues I should be aware of? - How much exercise would you like me to give your dog? - What should I know about your neighborhood? Are there any areas that are unsafe for your pet and should be avoided?
A typical day
I would be thrilled to explore your neighborhood with your dog, take them to the dog park or play fetch outside (with your advance approval), or cuddle up and watch TV.

Pet care experience
I'm a lifetime dog lover who is without a furry friend right now. I would love to spend some quality time with your dog or cat! I have owned a husky/shepherd mix and a chocolate lab, and have also cared for my sister's coon hound I can manage dogs up to 60-70 pounds as long as they walk well on a leash. I have also volunteered with the Humane Society in Austin, TX, and Lost Dog and Cat Rescue here in Arlington, VA. I'm very active and love to walk (but don't run anymore), so I'm happy to give your pup plenty of exercise. I will give your pet all of the love, care and attention that I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

Reviews
Karen was great! She took wonderful care of Moki and communicated very well.
Karen was absolutely fantastic and such an amazing companion and carer for our dog-kids and our house while we were away for a week vacation! Booking was super easy, meet and greet was great, and Karen sent photos and videos every day, keeping our girls (14yo mini-schnauzer and 1yo bernedoodle) active, happy, loved, and safe - and treating our house as her own. We didn't worry for one second and Karen kept us posted about walks, anything that came up at the house, and all of their daily activities. Our two boys missed our dogs terribly starting from the moment we left and Karen's texts and video updates kept their worried hearts full of warm, happy feelings so we were all able to enjoy our time and know our pups and home was in incredibly great hands. THANK YOU KAREN! Would 100% trust again for any time we need someone to take care of our family while we're gone.
Karen took such good care of my two cats! They loved her and I loved her responsiveness and getting pics daily for peace of mind ♥️
Karen did an incredible job looking after my Husky. He can be a little stubborn at times but she handled him well and always kept me up to date with how he was and what he was up to. He's a little older and a picky eater and Karen perfectly fed him and gave him his meds on schedule. I would absolutely let Karen watch Ace again and would (and will!) reccomend her to anybody who's animal needs watched.
