About Karen M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Keeping to a pets usual schedule is important for making them feel safe and comfortable. I will do my utmost to stick to their routine without forcing them into something unfamiliar. It can often take a few days for a pet to fully relax and that's ok! I'm there to make sure their safe and taken care. If an animal isn’t comfortable with me, I'm happy to be around as a familiar face until they’re ready for cuddle time.
Information Karen M. would like to know about your pet
Some of things that would help us have a smooth drop in or visit, and keep your pets happy & healthy: Is your pet spayed/neutered and vaccinated? Are they microchipped, tattooed, or anything similar? Please leave me your vet information! What is your pet's regular schedule? Where and how do they like to spend their time? Let me know if they would like cuddles or would rather just have me talk to them from a distance. Point out their regular sleeping places and where they might hide if they are anxious or scared. What are your pets favorite toys and treats? What are behaviors that I should look out for? Let me know if there are any specific things to avoid that might make your pet scared. Is there any past or current aggressive behavior? Would your pet try to dash out the door? Are there places in the home that they're not allowed to have access to, such as counter tops of specific rooms? If your pet needs medications or supplements, please let me know in advance so we can discuss the best way to make sure your pet receives what they need. For dogs, how often are they let out to do their business, as well as how many many walks do they need a day? Let me know how your pet typically behaves on a walk. Are they aggressive/reactive to other dogs or people? If so, how do they behave and how would you like me to handle the situation. If you have a regular route, I will try to stick to that as much as possible, however I try to avoid dog parks or other areas with unknown people or animals. How long can your dog be left alone during the day? Are they crated or are they okay in the house?
A typical day
It's very important that our pets stick to as close to their regular routine as possible. So I try to keep to the pet's schedule - feeding, playing, outside time (if needed), and cuddles. I know that we miss our pets when we're away from them. I do my best to send pictures and updates throughout the day so parents aren't too worried about their pets. And I'm always available to reassure pet-parents or send extra pictures if they miss their fur-babies! I'm a homebody, so I'm more than likely to stay at home working, reading, or doing artwork. Hopefully the dog or cat likes the same Netflix shows that I do!

A loving auntie for your pets!
Pet care experience
I’ve been the one that my friends and family go to when they need someone to care for their home and love their pets when they’re away! I send frequent updates of the fur-babies having a staycation with Auntie Karen. I feel like I’ve done my best when the pets miss me when I leave!
Cat care experience
Karen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
