Dogs Know They Are Safe With Me

I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth.

House Sitting • Sep 15, 2026

Karen was awesome! She was very attentive to our boys needs and kept us updated throughout her stay with fun updates on how much they were enjoying their time together. She was a pleasure to have in our home, and we would absolutely recommend her and hope to book her again!

Karen is my next door neighbour and she is a kind and and gentle person when it comes to animals especially my two rescued dogs. She understands them and my two pups responds to her very well. When they come in they go to her door to check on her! Karen is reliable, in that when I've not been able to walk my dogs she takes them out. Karen has also been a pet owner to an aging dog which she cared for. She gave Lola a comfortable and inviting home to live out her years. I can confidently testify that Karen would be a very good fit for Rover.

Karen is such a sweet, reliable, and caring pet sitter! I trust her wholeheartedly with my two furbabies (shih tzu and tibetan terrier). She went above and beyond my expectations—sending detailed updates and photos daily, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly treats your pets as if they were her own. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!

Safety, trust & environment

My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.
