Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I have been petsitting since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs and while studying Animal Science in college, my “minor” was canine science. I also have boatloads of experience with kitties ... I used to run a local non-profit animal rescue that concentrated on cats. I still petsit for several of the dogs and cats that were adopted from that agency and I love watching them blossom in a forever home! I can do all the basic pet care for both cats AND dogs...like feeding, playing, walking, brushing, scooping litter and administering medications. For your kitties, I can also trim nails, give subcutaneous fluids... even check a BG and administer insulin for your diabetic cat. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your pets!

Karen is a wonderful pet sitter! She did a great job watching my dog and two cats on Easter weekend. She kept the house neat and tidy and sent tons of pictures and updates during her stay. I highly recommend Karen if you need a pet sitter—she is friendly, punctual and reliable and my pets loved her :)

Karen did such a wonderful job watching my cat, Riley, this weekend! Riley has some special requirements: he’s diabetic requiring insulin twice a day, takes a couple of other medications and can be a picky eater. He is over 15 and has never boarded before, so I was thrilled to find such an experienced pet sitter! She sent several pictures each drop-in with a detailed message and I could tell he was loving her company. I felt so comfortable with him in her care and have already booked again!

Karen was amazing! She took such good care of our dog while we were away over 4th of July. We decided to go with a pet sitter since our dog is afraid of fireworks and Karen was so comforting. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future. She sent updates and pictures and left detailed notes of each day upon our return. Thank you Karen!!
