Pet care experience

I believe in treating clients and their pets like friends and family. I strive to provide professional, reliable and caring services when and where they are needed. I desire to be the best in the business and provide safe and fun interactions for your pets while going on walks, during structured play time, in home pet boarding and while house sitting. You, the client and your pet/s are my top priority. I have had dogs, cats and lots of other animals throughout my life time, I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I recently completed a grooming course where I learned how to bathe and groom many different breeds of dog and found I very much enjoyed Caring for all types of animals. Additional services: Oral administration of medication is included in the base care fee, if specific timing or more than 3 medication administrations are needed additional fees may be required. Any injectable medication will require additional fees and sharps/safety disposal container. Also available to care for/check in on animals; like fish, lizards, rabbits, ferrets etc. Additional service rates to be discussed in person at meet & greet, I will always seek to give you the most value for your money.

Karen was seriously the perfect sitter. She's very reliable, conscientious, cat-approved. She sent us photos and notes with every visit. I really appreciated knowing our two kitties were in good hands. She handled their feeding peculiarities with ease, kept letter boxes clean, brought in packages/mail, and left it all in tip top shape. Highly recommended!

Karen is wonderful with our large dog, and he is always content and healthy when we get home. We highly recommend her!

Karen was kind, professional, and very easy to work with! She was very communicative and provided great updates on our two cats while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again!

Karen did a great job walking our big dog while we were out of town. He was healthy and happy, and we would love to have Karen care for him again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
