I work on site 8:30am-5pm. However, job is flexible and I am able to fit in 1-2 visits/walks per day. During a house sits, I will live at your home and come back to provide potty breaks/walks 1-2x daily. On weekends, my schedule will work around your pup, there will be longer walks, playtime, and activities to prevent your pup from getting bored.

Safety, trust & environment

In my clients home, I would follow directions very carefully to make sure the pets are familiar as they can be nervous with a change in routine/stranger. I’d focus on bonding with them, making them feel comfortable, and then fulfilling their mental and physical needs.

Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any possible aggression. I have a dog that is food-aggressive so I am experienced but need to fully prepare myself beforehand.

A typical day

I love going for walks, both fast walks for exercise and slow walks for a good sniff. Also fetch and hide and seek to keep them engaged.

Our experience with Karen, from messaging, to scheduling a meet and greet, to the actual visits, were smooth and easy. Karen took great care of our cats. She was on time and sent pictures and information each day, so we knew how they were doing.

I can always count on Karen to make sure my dogs are taken care of and trust her with my dogs. Both my dogs love her and one of them became attached to her over time. I can take a trip out of town knowing my dogs are safe when she stays over my house. She ensures they are walked, fed and have water. I’m so glad to have Karen as my dog sitter and I HIGHLY recommend her to any dog owner looking for a trusted pet sitter. She will not let you down and you can leave town having a peace of mind. Thank you Karen for providing the care and love my dogs need when I’m away. 🩵

I’ve known Karen for over 5 years and she’s always been there to take care of my pup. Always kind and compassionate towards her own dogs and mine. My pup loves her so much and im sure yours will too! Definitely recommend Karen as a dog and cat sitter / walker ❤️

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.
