Animals are family

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Karen and animals bring me so much happiness. I will make sure to treat your animals as if they were my own. I have over 10 years of experience and keep up with animal best practices. I provide a safe and caring place that is unmatched for your furbaby. I have my B.A in Journalism and my M.S in Business Management & Leadership. I began dog sitting in high school and have since made it a lifelong hobby. Everyone has a special animal that they hold dear to their heart. For some, it might be a cat, but for others, it's a dog. No matter what animal is your favorite, we can all agree that animals are the perfect companions. For me and my fellow dog lovers, these furry little cuties are all we have eyes for. From their excitement when seeing us to their steadfast loyalty, a dog is the only companion I'll ever truly need. On my best days, the worst, and each day in between, dogs have never failed to make my day even better than the moment before. I don't know what I would do without these adorable friends, and luckily, I never will need to find out.

2nd time working with Karen and she was great. Daily updates with photos and video put me at ease knowing that my cat was in good hands!

Karen took great care of my cat, Luna, while I was out for vacation. She is very responsive and reliable. Will be booking with Karen again in the future!

Information Karen M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I specialize in small dogs and senior dogs. It is important to know if they would get along with my tiny 5lbs or 7lbs Pomeranians.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs to stimulate them physically and mentally. I would take them out to pee every 1-2 hours. We can also walk around my neighborhood (Irvine Spectrum).
