I'm an Opera Singer primarily, so I do contract work as it comes. I have a day job that I keep in between contracts but I have a schedule that is fairy flexible and adaptive for your needs in both pet and house sitting! I am available during the week to take your pet for walks, bathroom breaks, or belly rub sessions as needed. I am also open to caring for your pets on the weekend! I am an open book, so don't be afraid to offer any suggestions or requests in order for me to provide the best service possible!

Safety, trust & environment

I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet before caring for your pets and(or) home. It is my top priority to make you and your pet(s) feel comfortable whilst leaving things in my care. Pets are some of our most important family members, and I don't take that responsibility lightly!

Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any health concerns, allergies, specific feeding times, sensitive areas to touch, and anything else you feel is necessary for me to provide you and your pet with a fulfilling experience. The more you share, the more knowledge I will have to help, and that's what I'm here for!

A typical day

The needs of your pet will factor into a typical day for them! If they are more active, I am happy to provide lots of play time or walks if requested. If they need to move a bit slower, I can work with that too. I love puppies and seniors equally!

Karen did a great job housesitting over two nights for us! We had peace of mind knowing Beefy was getting all the care and attention she needed with updates and photos. Karen left the house nice and tidy and was very responsive while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Definitely would book Karen again! We reached out to her last-minute and she was very responsive and accommodating and even squeezed a meet-and-greet into her morning for us. During our trip, she was always on time for drop-ins with our pups and sent pictures and updates with each visit. We were so relieved on our trip to know we could rely on her. Thank you so much Karen!

Karen was amazing. Met Kona well in advance and Kona immediately loved her. We received pictures and updates every day and came home to a happy and healthy dog. Would 10/10 book Karen again. She was amazing.

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.
