I’m a retired RN, current tie dye artist, and your pet sitter. I have an old farm house and 2 unfenced acres and it’s all dog friendly. I have long leashes so outside time feels unrestricted. My schedule is flexible and i live a simple life. Im strong and healthy and i have no problems handling large dogs.

For boarding: I don’t have a fence yet but I do have tie outs and all outside time is supervised. I have a friendly golden retriever who would love to have friends come visit. He alters his behavior to meet the needs of your dog. A crate is available if needed but not routinely used. Boarding is homestyle.

Information Karen P. would like to know about your pet

I’m pretty versatile to meet the needs of your pet so you can be assured all is well while you are away. Any special needs are helpful to know before accepting a booking so I can schedule accordingly. Meet and greets are encouraged.

A typical day

Lots of pets, cuddles, play! This really depends on the dog. Some just want a leisurely sniff around the yard and some want a vigorous game of fetch. I can do either.

Karen was warm and friendly with both us and our dog. She sent regular updates while we were away. Our dog must really love Karen because she was barking protectively when I walked up to the door. We look forward to more visits with Karen!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
