Safety, trust & environment
I take my time letting the pet get used to my presence. I always bring treats for dogs or toys for cats to ease the process. I carry gentle leader harnesses for dogs who are pullers to help bring them to heel and make the walk comfortable for both of us.

Pet care experience
Since 2009 I've been providing solo leash walks for dogs up to 50lbs, drop-in visits for cats and overnight pet sitting in Seward Park, Columbia City, Lakewood, Mt. Baker, Leschi & Pritchard Beach. I'm insured through Pet Sitters Associates LLC as well as Rover and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Also experienced in administering insulin injections, subq fluids, tube feedings, pills, ear and eye meds. I have experience with a wide range of pets besides cats and dogs; birds, fish, rabbits, chickens, ducks and turkeys. Whatever yours is rest assured they will be well-taken care of, loved & spoiled in your absence. I'm retired and single so I will have plenty of time to spend with them. On overnights I'm usually there until 9 or 10 Am unless I have other pets to visit. I'll be back by dinner time and there for the rest of the evening unless I have evening drop-in visits to make. I follow your rules in your home on visits and overnights. With your approval I use flower essences when necessary to help anxious or shy pets relax.
Reviews
Very friendly very thorough. I felt safe and assured with her checking in on my cat while I was away!
Karen did a wonderful job visiting my two dogs. I cannot thank her enough.
I was so lucky to find Karen! She took amazing care of my two senior cats. Providing regular status updates and information about the cats. I felt completely at ease with her watching my kitties. Home was just as I’d left it. Would absolutely work with Karen again.
Karen took great care of our dog and cat! She communicated with us really well and treated the pets really well
