Pet care experience

Full-time care & love for your pet

I am working from home full time, I can provide many walks, exercise, and outdoor time to your fur baby and adjust as needed. You will receive updates on a daily basis to put you at ease knowing your dog in good hands. I am also pet sitting one dog at time, so your dog will have undivided attention during their stay. I used to own an english Labrador so I have experience raising a puppy and providing some basic training. I have also dog sat some of my friends dogs.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 08, 2025

From the very first message and our meet and greet, Karen has been an exceptional dog sitter. She is communicative, responsible, and truly caring with my dog, Hunter. During his stay, she sent plenty of photo and video updates and was always quick to respond to texts. She was also very diligent about administering Hunter’s medications—asking thoughtful clarifying questions about scheduling and dosage to make sure everything was done correctly, which I greatly appreciated. On top of that, Karen is very capable when it comes to caring for an anxious, senior puppy, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving Hunter in her care. Additionally, on my multi-day boarding booking with her, my trip ended up being extended unexpectedly, and she kindly accommodated without issue. I’ll definitely be booking with Karen again!

Karen was amazing with Theodore, I was scared he wouldn’t want to come back home!

I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! Karen treats my dog like royalty; daily walks, endless cuddles, and more love and care that I could ever ask for. My dog gets so excited she runs and pulls on the leash the moment we get close to Karen’s house. It’s such a relief knowing that my Lola is in such good hands and is taken care by someone who genuinely adores animals and spoils them in the way possible! I am very grateful for Karen.

Schedule

I work from home so I have flexibility to provide your dog many walks in the day (morning, noon, evening, and night). I am a very active person, so I can adjust to the level of exercise needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment without a yard, which only means more quality time outdoors together. I am located next to nice dog friendly parks in the area which will be great adventure for your dog :)

A typical day

A typical day starts with a nice morning walk followed by mental stimulation with short 5-10mins training session. Then have breakfast and allow downtime for the dog to stay calm after eating. At noon, we go for a short walk (30mins) for a potty break and sniff around. Evening time we do longer outdoor activities such as long walks in the park and play fetch. We finish the day with indoor playtime such as playing tug, and a night walk before bedtime.

Safety comes first, please advise if any behaviours/health issues/allergies to keep in mind when boarding your dog. I prefer keepings dog that are not prey driven as I have 2 cats in the apartment (which can be kept in room if necessary for everyones safety but preference lies with non-prey driven dogs).
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.
