Availability
I retired from full time work last year, but have continued petsitting as I enjoy it very much. In the past my ability to petsit has been limited by my work schedule at the pet hospital, so having the freedom now to enjoy your pets in a more relaxed format is an absolute joy for me. CATS: I can stay with them anytime, for as long as you need. I have a great deal of experience with senior cats and giving medications as needed, as well as homes with multiple cats. DOGS: I’ve had dogs all my life,and love spending time with them. Your fur-baby will receive all the love and attention that they would receive if you, their favourite person, were home. Since I am retired now, you can rest assured knowing that I wont be leaving them alone for any extended periods.

I come for a complimentary 20-30min Meet and Greet before the petsitting date and we can discuss any routines or special needs at that time. If you need mail pick up, plants watered, etc. you can let me know that as well during this visit.
Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet
I'll need to know about any important command words or gestures, and any restrictions that you place on your pet eg:stay off the furniture. Please tell me about any medical conditions and medications I will need to give, as well as dietary restrictions and the foods/treats they can have
A typical day
The idea is to make the experience as stress free and comfortable for your pet as I can. Please tell me any routines and preferences that your pet currently enjoys, and I will follow your instructions.

Retired Veterinary Professional
Pet care experience
From the family ranch to the Veterinary hospital, I've cared for cats and dogs, both personally and professionally, my entire life. Playtime is mandatory, kisses and cuddles come without extra charge. If your pet is under a Doctor's supervision, I can follow their regimen for you, while you're away. I regularly do Drop-ins to give prescribed medication and will give you an update every time.
Cat care experience
Karen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Karen was very attentive and caring towards our cats. She was great at communicating and sharing how our cats were doing while we were away.
Winnie had the best time with Karen. Lots play time and walks. Karen is a very kind lady with lots of love for animals. We will for sure be having Karen back
Karen took such amazing care of our two cats over the weekend! Freddy is a very anxious boy, but he warmed up to Karen so quickly, and Penelope got all the attention she loves (and demands)! Karen kept me updated throughout the weekend with messages and lots of great photos, which really helped put me at ease. She was great with each of the cats quirks and stuck to their routines perfectly. We came home to a clean house and two very happy cats! I would absolutely recommend Karen and will definitely be booking her again!
We came home to a happy, well-cared for cat. Shorty warmed up to Karen right away and I loved getting the updates on what Shorty was up to.
