About Karen-Joyce G.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Karen-Joyce G. would like to know about your pet
I will get to know YOUR pet's schedule, preferences and needs and the house rules ahead of my stay, so we can keep them comfortable, happy and feeling secure!
A typical day
I wake up early to let your pet out and feed them. Then I stretch, eat a quick breakfast and go on a long morning walk with your dog. Then I often hang out a while at your home or may go out just for few hours. Ì can take your dog in my car for a hike in the forest exploring, or go to a fenced dogpark to play ball. Evenings we'll go for another dog walk in the neighborhood and have dinner together. I often hang out in the livingroom with the pets until bedtime.

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews
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!
