Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Enthusiast,Walker&Trainer
Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again. So I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained my own dogs for decades and walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. In the past, I assisted a vet at the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances worked with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family we raised 2 litters of German Shepherd puppies in my childhood and Ive since fostered a few mothers and puppies at my home.

Safety, trust & environment
Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for homes in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and California and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends.
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Karen-Joyce for pet and house sitting! Our pets and home were very well cared for. Karen-Joyce went above and beyond and we truly appreciate being able to take a trip and come home to happy, healthy pets and a well cared for home❤️ Thank you Karen-Joyce!
We cannot say enough about Karen-Joyce. She is professional, reliable, pays attention to the details, and took great care of our pets and home. We will use her as often as she’s available when we travel. Meg Zahner
Karen-Joyce did a wonderful job! She was in charge of our animals (and house) for five weeks. She followed my instructions for the care of the animals and sent updates. The dogs were well cared for, the chicken fed, the bird feeders filled, and the plants watered. I got back to a house that was cleaner than I left it! She is totally reliable and understands the needs of the animals.
Karen-Joyce is absolutely an amazing pet sitter and home sitter. She was very attentive to all my requests and requirements for my huskies. She even watered my plants and fed my beta fish She’s very sweet and I highly recommend her. I look forward to having her back again
Karen-Joyce is a fantastic dog and house sitter! She took fabulous care of our dog and our home and we will absolutely have her come stay again!
Karen-Joyce was everything we could want in a dog and house sitter. Our dog was well taken are of and very happy. The house was left in perfect condition. In addition after meeting with her we had great confidence and did not worry during our trip. She also sent us updates and pictures. We would use her again any time. Judy and Jim

Schedule
I am self employed and work part-time, so I fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted.
