Availability

I am retired so able to have a very flexible schedule to take care of your 4 legged children whenever you need me. I tend to go for 2-3 walks daily (or more) and like to have a furry friend to chat with! I also will take only one dog at a time (multiples within the same family are great though!) in order to accommodate dogs that are anxious or stressed around other dogs. I love giving them one-on-one attention!

Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs so that I can be sure that I am taking the best of care of your pet.

A typical day

I love to exercise and will take your dog on several walks. We also have a dog park in my neighborhood so we will sometimes go there to socialize. Evenings, we will tend to cuddle on the couch and watch TV.

An ACTIVE pet Grandma!!❤️

Pet care experience

I only watch ONE dog at a time (unless from the same family!) so that I can give your dog all the love and attention he/she deserves. I don't have any pups of my own so that if your dog is anxious or does not like to be around other dogs, they will be comfortable with me. I love to go on walks with dogs! I've had several dogs of my own and have been a dog grandma for many years as well as caring for neighbor's pets. My daughter is also a professional groomer so I am able to take your pup for a beauty day while you are away if you'd like!

We love Karen and are thrilled whenever she is available to watch our Bella for us. She is absolutely wonderful and we know our baby is happy and well cared for while we have to be away.

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.
