My daughter is 18yrs old and at college full-time. I am a 51yr old lady with to much 'free time', the afternoon early evening, I will take my dogs to the stable yard where they have 7 acres of fenced in land to romp, whilst I tend to my horse. I have far too much "free time ' so doing pet care for others is perfect for me.

Safety, trust & environment

At home I have 2 dogs both bitches. A Jack Russell's and a chow. As well as 2 rescue chickens. I live in a ground floor maisonette with laminate and tiled flooring. Out back garden is a large patio area with high fence panels all round. When looking in on other people's pets I would prefer to have access to a key lock to enter. Dog or baby gate in place to ensure that when entering your pets are safe. Would appreciate written instructions left on what you require in plane sight ie please, close this door, barny need his medication today, etc.

Pet care experience

My passion for animals has been life long. Not only have I always owned dogs throughout my life , I have also worked with animals . I've worked in riding schools, pet shop and kennel. I think my experience of working deferent animals both large and small is invaluable. But most of all I think it's love and good common sense

Brilliant. We got to meet up with Karen the week before we left splodge with her for the day. She really looked after splodge and adapted her routine to splodge's needs. Will definitely use again. Lovely lady.

Karen did a fantastic job looking after our Westie while we were away. From the start, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our Westie got along really well with Karen’s dog, Josey, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they had good company. Karen was also incredibly accommodating with our requests. She kindly allowed us to pick our dog up for short periods during the day so our grandkids could spend time with him, as the hotel we were staying at didn’t allow dogs. This flexibility meant a lot to us and made the whole experience so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.

Buster thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Karen. Had not left him before I was apprehensive but Karen done a marvellous job looking after him. This has left me very confident and will definitely use Karen again.
