Outdoor and pet lover!

Pet care experience

Experienced owner of two cats who has had training and experience working with a variety of shelter pets from young to old. I love walking and outdoors as much as the pets that I sit and walk. I'm originally from the the Midwest, so I have no problem walking on rainy or cold days. Experienced in positive reinforcement pet training as well. My volunteer work at the animal shelter has allowed me to work with a variety of animals with very different temperaments, personalities, and backgrounds. Responsible and reliable and will care for pets like they are my own. I understand that you are entrusting me with someone very precious and that each pet is unique with unique needs. I will do everything that I can to give them the utmost care and love.

Karen is a wonderful sitter. She stayed with our corgi for a night and even came by a few days before for a meet and greet. Her pictures and updates are excellent. We came home to a happy dog! Will definitely be hiring Karen again.

We’ve used Karen multiple times to watch our two cats and she always does such a great job! We love her and so do our cats!

Went away for a few nights and left our two cats in Karen’s care while we were gone. As always, the girls were comfortable and very well taken care of and we had so much peace of mind. She always sends daily updates and pictures and our cats are so relaxed and happy when we get home so we know they were comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!

This is our second time booking with Karen. She’s been great as usual! She’s been very communicative, kind, and punctual, took good care of our cat, and our cat loves her!

Information Karen O. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to know a little bit about their personality (if they prefer time alone or love to have attention), are in need of some training or are in the process of being trained, favorite activities, snacks, dietary restrictions, health issues to be aware of.

A typical day

Walks to the park, enjoying some quality time outdoors with whatever their favorite activities are. Also, lounging, cuddling, and play time indoors. I try to keep them engaged as much as possible.
