Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced sitter with lots of cud
I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets.

Ratings and reviews
I’m extremely grateful for the wonderful care Karen gave my fur baby, Maui. I felt completely comfortable and at ease the entire time. She regularly sent me pictures of him, which gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. I had a great experience with Karen and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pet. Thank you so much, Karen! ❤️🐾

Schedule
I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
I enjoy keeping pets active and happy with activities such as walks, playtime in the backyard, fetch, interactive toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I also enjoy spending quiet time with pets who prefer relaxing or being close to their person. I always adapt activities to each pet’s age, energy level, personality, and comfort level. Before their stay, it’s important for me to know their favorite activities, exercise needs, feeding routine, behavioral triggers, and anything they may be afraid of or uncomfortable with so I can make their time with me safe, fun, and stress-free.
