Mature and Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I ​have operated a pet sitting biz for 20 plus years in NY. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am retired and available everyday anytime of the day to care for your dogs, cats in my home or yours, so you can get away without a worry. I love cuddly, playful, pups, And its quiet and calm here for the nervous ones. I currently have Sabrina and ziggy that are always friendly and reassuring.

Our experience with Karen was wonderful! She had a great set up for our dog, who enjoyed playing with her dogs. She sent us pictures & videos to help us feel comfortable & updated on her stay. She is experienced & truly loves dogs.

Karen is an animal lover! Her space is clean and spacious and welcoming for anyone! My family enjoyed the daily messages/photos and videos of our dog having a good time playing and relaxing with Karen’s dog crew. We did a meet and greet to ensure our dogs got along before boarding and I was able to see where my dog would be sleeping, eating and playing while we’re away. I will definitely be using Karen’s again for boarding as my dog returned to us calm, clean and enjoyably wiped out from an engaging boarding experience. I highly recommend Karen!
