Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I grew up in an animal-loving country. I have had many dogs, all of them being rescues, and also one very cantankerous cat. I have also had Gerbils, Budgies and tortoises when growing up in England. When I lived it Torrance I was very involved with the LA animal shelters for many years and coordinated adoption events and rescues. I was also active with the Emergency Animal Response Service team and helped in disaster situations and hoarding cases. I love all animals and will provide safe and loving care for any that are in my charge. Animals have always given me so much joy and taking care of other peoples babies really fills that need.

Karen did an amazing job and I could not be happier with how she took care of my 2 pups. One of my dogs is very anxious and he was so calm and relaxed with Karen. She also sent so many pictures and updates which was so great. I will definitely use Karen again to watch my pups and highly recommend her! She’s the greatest there is.

Karen was wonderful with my senior dog Colt, even though he wasn’t on his very best behavior! Karen’s home is also very calm and has a wonderful and calming ambience. She sent several update pics throughout the visit and kept me posted on how he was doing. I 100% recommend Karen as a caring and professional dogsitter.

She’s very friendly and attentive to our dogs’ needs. She did a great job with our two 60 lb dogs while we were away for 4 days.

Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they are on any medications, do they have any behavior traits that you think I should know about. Are they good with other dogs.

A typical day

We have a grassy hill across the road from my condo and the dogs love to wander around over there as there's lot's of smells from other dogs and wildlife.
