Skilled Petsitter with love to give

I have always been a pet owner and friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their dogs and cats for many years. I have had dogs of my own, and currently have a cat. From drop-in visits and walks, to overnights in your home, I am always available to give your pet some love. I am experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, medication, and injections.

Safety, trust & environment

In my clients' homes, I treat the space with respect, as I would a family member's. I leave it how I found it, lock up, and clean up after myself. Overnight, your pet will feel most comfortable at home where I can closely mimic the routine they are used to with you.

We have hired Karen to house sit our 2 dogs and a cat multiple times. She does a tremendous job. We have already booked more upcoming house sitting stays with Karen. We highly recommend her.

Karen took care of my senior girl who has been having some issues. She provided pictures snd information on Lucy daily. I highly recommend Karen for anyone who needs care for their fur baby.

Karen did an excellent job house sitting our two French Bulldogs. She updated us daily about our Frenchies and always made us feel at ease being away knowing our puppies were home and being well taken care of. We already booked her again to house sit.

We are so happy to have found rover and that it lead us to Karen!! If I could give 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using a pet sitter service and were a little nervous. Upon meeting Karen for the first time, I immediately felt at ease with her calm and friendly demeanor. Karen stayed at our house with our two cats, she sent pictures daily and everything was in perfect order when we returned. She made the world of difference for our vacation and we will absolutely be booking again if we will be on an extended away. Thank you again for everything, Karen!!!! (Vader and the old man say thank you for hanging with them too!)

Karen was wonderful. She stayed at our house and took great care of our Lily. We will surely be calling on her again in the future.

This is more than just a side gig for me. Caring for pets and helping others brings me joy. I had to give up my 9-5 due to health concerns. Petsitting is one of the few things that still comes easy for me and it is my career.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Karen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know in advance if your pets have any special needs or behaviors I can account for. If your pet is sick, has an injury, or needs a more complex feeding schedule, please let me to know.
