Karen is a very kind dog sitter. She met every one of my expectations and more. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew the pups were being well cared for at home. Thank you Karen!

Karen and I met a few years ago and quickly became good friends. We shared common interests, such as travel ,gardening ,and our love of animals, to name a few. Karen is trustworthy, and conscientious. I have a dog Mabel, who can be a handful to deal with. Mabel is overly zealous greeting people, which at times is hard for me bc I can’t control her. Karen has a way, a calmness ,and handles Mabel perfectly, and Mabel loves her. You won’t regret bringing Karen on board at Rover.

Karen is an animal lover…. and the feeling is mutual! Dogs and cats love her. She has had many animals throughout her lifetime and has watched many friends and families pets when needed. I trust her with my two dogs whenever it is needed. Never a need to worry when Karen is watching my pets!

I have no care in my entire life as she is my sister the best sister. We grew up with dogs our entire life things to our dad who just love dogs. We also have a great love for dogs. She has had golden retrievers for years and as anybody knows They like to be loved.. Karen is a very caring, gentle person who would be a great asset to Rover as a dog walker or a dog sitter. She’s compassionate and very loving. She has grown up with dogs and has had cats. She is well equipped for this job. Respectfully, Lynne Haugh

I would highly recommend Karen, she takes excellent care of her dogs . She has grown up with dogs and for the last 25 years has had 2 to 3 dogs at the same time, they are like family to her. She is a person of integrity and is extremely responsible and loyal. She is an animal lover and while living in South Carolina became a volunteer guardian for sea turtle eggs at a nearby beach. She is perfect for the position.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m currently retired and am very flexible time-wise. I’m available any day of the week, as overnight stays, or everyday of the week from 7-9ish.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have two golden retrievers and a fenced in yard but find that most dogs, and all cats, prefer their own surroundings so am willing and able to come to you home and take care of them.
