Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special needs, illnesses, medications to take, or behaviors to notice. I believe that our dogs have their own likes or dislikes, so knowing what makes your pet happy is helpful.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks. I frequently explore the walking paths or nearby parks. I can make sure to take your dog to places or do activities that your dog likes.

Active, Happy, Engaging Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner for over 30 years and come from a family who loves animals. My favorite part of caring for animals is to play with them and walk them. I love to walk, and it makes me happy to to see the excitement on a dog's face or in their step when they know they get to walk with me.I play with them, talk to them, and believe in their individual personalities. I feel that our furry friends are part of the family. They want love, attention, and care just like we do. I will treat your pup (or cat) with genuine affection and attention. I will follow your instructions and make sure that your baby is well cared for and loved. I have flexibility in my schedule to help with your pet care needs. I am available most days and times and will stay in your home if desired. I will negotiate rates to meet your needs. I will play with your pets, walk your dogs, talk to them and give them the affection and attention that I give to my own pets.

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.
