Pet care experience

Your pet is in good hands!

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

House Sitting • ago 06, 2019

Karen house-sat for us for a week and took wonderful care of our two dogs, small animals, and chickens. She has a great calming effect and my slightly hyper and suspicious Aussie was very comfortable with her when we met for a meet and greet. While we were away she let me know promptly if there were any problems (when one of the dogs chewed on the couch!), sent us photos, and took great care of the animals and house. I think she left the house in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend Karen and will hope she's available for our next vacation!
