Skilled Petsitter with love to give

Pet care experience

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 also fostered in the past. 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.

Karen is absolutely the best! She takes such good care of our girl figgy! She arrives right on schedule and always provides a cute summary of her visit. Always send 3 or more cute pics of our baby.💕

Karen did an excellent job. She arrived promptly and took great care of our kitties while we were away. I felt assure they were in good hands. Thank you Karen!

Karen did an amazing job with our pups and really goes out of her way to make sure they get the same attention as they would if we were home with them. She sent pictures to us along with updates and was a helpful house sitter! We look forward to bringing her back for our next vacation.

Karen was a great house sitter! She sent text and photo updates and genuinely seemed to enjoy my pets. Will definitely use her again.

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.

Information Karen P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love to stimulate pets mentally and physically. I am on the floor with them, engaging eye to eye. For dog walking, I prefer to go on their usual route, if they have one. Once more comfortable with me, I might mix things up for variety. If I have a longer stay with your pet, I'll provide multiple play sessions a day and lots of comfort and snuggles (if that's what they like).

This is more than just a side gig for me. Caring for pets and helping others brings me joy. I am available every day of the week. I had to give up my 9-5 when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Petsitting is one of the few things that still comes easy for me and it is my career.
