Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated Petcare, Housesitting
With 30 years experience as a vet tech and pet care provider, I provide dependable, thoughtful care for pets whose owners want clear communication and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with specific routines or medical needs. I’m calm, observant, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, respect your pet’s established routine, and make sure you’re never left wondering how things are going while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or sitting, my goal is to make your time away easier — for both you and your pet. Why I’m a Good Fit Former ER Vet Tech Experienced with senior pets and special instructions Comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly Reliable, punctual, and communicative Respectful of your home and your pet’s routine Long-term Rover member with multiple past clients Care Philosophy I believe pets thrive when their routines are respected. I take time to understand your pet’s personality, preferences, and needs so they feel safe and cared for. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing everything is handled. *All pets in the home during the stay must be included in the booking for liability and insurance purposes.

Ratings and reviews
Karen was great! We had her stay with our dog for an extended amount of time, and Alani loved her! Alani was also going through a back injury, and Karen had no issues or concerns giving her medicine and keeping her comfortable! Alani already misses Karen and is still looking for her around the house!
This was our first time having Karen as our pet sitter. She did a wonderful job with our little dog and kept us updated throughout the stay! Excellent pet sitter !
Karen was great at communicating and sent us some lovely pictures of Spaghetti! She took good care of the house while we were away.
Karen did an amazing job watching our dog, Captain. She also kept our house perfectly clean:) Would 100% recommend her.
Karen was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. My scheduled sitter had something come up last minute and I was lucky enough to find Karen available! I came home to a very happy and well-taken care of pup!
Very nice sitter. She really liked my cats and made sure they were well looked after.
