Safety, trust & environment

I am not accepting boarding at this time. Once instructed I'm comfortable engaging with your pet at your residence. I have used key and electronic door locks.

Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors to account for. Are there training techniques you are using that I need to use with your pet?

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks, playing a game of fetch, and giving attention throughout ear scratches and belly rubs. I have worked with dogs of various energy levels and I'll adjust to their needs.

Pet care experience

Hello, I would love to care for your pets when help is needed.I have fostered and watched pets for friends and family for over 15 years. I have a small dog and previously had a cat. It is truly a pleasure to spend time with your pet and I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I have worked with dogs of all sizes. I am a calm, relaxed, and patient person and this carries over to how I am around animals. I love walking and the best way to make a walk better is with a dog by your side!

Karen really helped me out of a bind when I was traveling through Missouri. She was very attentive and took great care of my fur-kid. BTW so sorry she ate your plant! Lol

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.
