I'm an energetic person who needs a daily walk as much as your pup! I'm punctual, reliable, and not afraid to scoop up some poop.

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I'd also like to know how your dog typically interacts with other people and dogs on walks.

A typical day

I enjoy all the typical dog games, especially tug of war! I have a tireless ball-throwing hand, and I am very affectionate with my four-legged friends.

Dog-obsessed vagabond

Pet care experience

My first job out of college was at a dog/cat daycare, and I still consider it one of the best jobs I ever had! As a kid, I knew the name of every dog in my neighborhood, and as an adult I have been a petsitter for friends. I've now been on Rover for a year and a half, and I have found it so rewarding to be caring for animals all the time.

We loved having Karen watch our pets while we were away for a wedding! We have 3 big dogs and 1 cat who needs medication morning/night, so it’s no easy task but Karen did amazing with them all. She was very responsive and communicative the entire weekend, and she left our house better than she found it. We would definitely book Karen again in the future.

Karen took wonderful care of our dogs, Sam and Tito, for a full week while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsive, always sending updates and photos when we asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She also left our home in perfect condition, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!
