I am a lover of all animals. 💜

Pet care experience

I have had animals all my life, from birds, turtles, cats and dogs. I have rescued dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. I love going for walks, hikes and playing with the animals. I have done pet grooming, worked at dog kennel ( Abbywood Kennels) which was in Santa rosa till the owner retired. I worked there for 4 yrs. I am very good with older pets, young pets and even sick pets. Anytime i go anywhere the pets, they always love me. My friends have told me when i show up, their animals lose all sense of Sensibility. 🤗 For the last 10 yrs. i have had dog Named Hammer and a Cat named Orie. I just rescued 2 kittens named peanut and Jelly. 💜💖🐶

Karen cared for my two cats and one dog for almost a full week while I was away, and she was absolutely amazing! It’s always hard for me to leave my pets, but she made the entire experience so much easier and stress free. She sent regular updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were happy and well cared for. My dog has some separation anxiety and my cats can be a bit shy at first, but they all warmed up to her quickly! It was clear she took the time to really connect with them and pay attention to their individual needs. I also really appreciated how respectful she was of my home, everything was clean and well taken care of when I returned. I’m so grateful I found Karen and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Karen was wonderful with our kitty! Having her send the lovely photos helped relax us and reassure us that our cat was making a new friend and felt safe and cared for. Our kitty loved her from the very start, and we will definitely be having Karen return for our future trips away.
