Animals are family

Hello, I'm Karen and animals bring me so much happiness. I will make sure to treat your animals as if they were my own. I have over 15 years of experience and keep up with animal best practices. I provide a safe and caring place that is unmatched for your furbaby. You also get two pet sitters when you book with me as my husband Karl also helps with petcare. I have my B.A in Journalism and my M.S in Business Management & Leadership. I began dog sitting in high school and have since made it a lifelong hobby. Everyone has a special animal that they hold dear to their heart. For some, it might be a cat, but for others, it's a dog. No matter what animal is your favorite, we can all agree that animals are the perfect companions. For me and my fellow dog lovers, these furry little cuties are all we have eyes for. From their excitement when seeing us to their steadfast loyalty, a dog is the only companion I'll ever truly need. On my best days, the worst, and each day in between, dogs have never failed to make my day even better than the moment before. I don't know what I would do without these adorable friends, and luckily, I never will need to find out.

Karen was great! She took excellent care of my Goldendoodle over two days. She was very communicative and sent regular photos and updates throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again in the future.

Karen is the absolute best. I use her for long trips and sometimes just one night. She always accommodates us and works with our schedule. I’m so thankful I found her and have someone reliable when in a pinch.

Schedule

I work permanently hybrid as an office manager, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available for boarding any day of the week. My husband also works from home.

Pets

A typical day

I love playing with dogs to stimulate them physically and mentally. I would take them out to pee every 1-2 hours. I could also walk them around my neighborhood.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Karen can host up to 3 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I specialize in small dogs and senior dogs. It is important to know if they would get along with my tiny 3.5lbs or 7lbs Pomeranians.
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.
