Can't wait to meet you & your pet!

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, so I'm experienced with large dogs. However, I love all sizes and types, and cats too. 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)!

Karen was exceptionally great! Her care of our senior boys made vacation so much more enjoyable. Knowing that they were well cared for and didn't lack from affection is what every parent of a fur-baby hopes for in a pet sitter. Her many texts, updates and pictures of them throughout her stay were so appreciated. Kudos to Karen for making a noisy apartment work, as I have tried to do since moving from a house to this location. There are ways to make it work and she did just that! We really do appreciate this, and her willingness to keep our pups in what they are used to - their home. We truly hope she will consider watching them again. Thank you for caring for our boys, Leo and Levi!

Karen was the best! Our dogs loved her and we are so happy. I will use her out next time we go out of town. I am a helicopter dog mom and I felt so confident with Karen taking care of our two chichihuas. Thanks Karen! Our dogs love you!!!

Karen was amazing! Our dog had recently lost one of her legs and was still adjusting to stairs so I was a little nervous to leave her with someone but Karen was so great, she really went the extra mile to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She sent detailed updates with photos and I was able to fully relax on our vacation because of her. I will 100% use Karen again!

Blue had a great time with Karen. Karen sent pictures and kept us up to date while we were out of town.

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.
