Patience and kindness always

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have been petsitting since 2017. A lot of my sits have been with another organization and I would be glad to provide you the link to my reviews. I also have experience working in pet boarding/kennel. I especially love to give special attention to those pets who aren’t as outgoing or have anxiety when their parents leave. Since I am quiet and have a relaxed manner, they usually warm up to me when they won’t with other people. I can offer reduced rates if your pet doesn’t require much companionship/walks. I live in Kea’au, and am willing to travel further for overnight sits. Drop-in visits would need to be closer.

Karen is consistently wonderful. She sends us pictures and updates each day and she genuinely cares about our dog. It’s such relief traveling and knowing he is in such good hands.

Karen was FANTASTIC!! She communicated very well, sending us pics and videos of Ranger every day. We came back and he was as happy and healthy as ever. We really appreciate all of the love and time you poured into Ranger, it makes us so happy that he was treated so well

Safety, trust & environment

Priority is to take the best care of your pet and keep them calm and happy while you are away. I am honest and trustworthy and expect the same from the pet owner, as well as a clean living space. I’ll follow all guidelines I am given in regards to your pets’ care and use of your home. I have operated an Airbnb in the past, so I understand etiquettes of cleanliness and manners while in others’ homes and expect the same from the pet owner. Non tobacco smoking homes only please.

Information Karen M. would like to know about your pet

Please communicate any special needs of your pet ie:diet, medications, particular triggers or fears… What routine does your animal follow each day? What words are they trained to respond to? How safe is your neighborhood for walking if that is a requirement. Please do write out your pets routine and care instructions and leave it for me or make a Rover care guide.

A typical day

What we do depends on where you live and what your animal is comfortable with and used to doing on a daily basis. Comfort and safety are priorities, as well as exercise.
