Hi, my name is Karen, I'm an LPN, and a true care giver at heart, and have always been ! It's my true purpose in life, and I love what I do ! I'm retired from Nursing now, and miss it dearly, but keep myself busy , especially with taking care of the little One's.. human and furry alike, and have for many years now ! I've cared for 8 Newborns, in the last 12 years, and continue to do so now , as they're into their early childhood years ! I've been a volunteer at our local animal shelter in the past, caring for Cats & dogs, walking dogs, sitting with and holding them to help them to feel loved and secure ! They gave, and still give me in return, much love and happiness, and have added such great purpose to my life ! I've also rescued many over my lifetime, and recently have rescued three in the last few years with the help of our local Shelter ! Just as we, they "all" need that love and security of family, a warm home and a warm bed ! Each are like little children, perpetually ! Are precious & innocent, and deserve to be loved and respected ! Each pet, Cat or Dog, needs love and to feel like they belong to his or her human family, or Pack , and so deserve to be given much affection, respect and understanding, with hugs & kisses everyday of their lives ! I have two, very spoiled, very loved house Cats of my own, and have always had Cats and Dogs, and other fur babies in my life and in my home as family members ! I don't know what I'd do without having had all the love that they have given me, and the privilege of having each one in my life ! I'm just an animal lover by nature, and love "all" Critters, always have! Especially Cats and Dogs ! I would love to spend time with, play with, and take care of your precious fur baby, Cat or Dog in your home, while you're away or at work. I'm flexible, and can work around your schedule also ! I am also experienced, and trained in adult, child, and infant CPR & First Aid , and also know CPR & First Aid for Cats & Dogs ! Each one truly makes my life more enjoyable, and much more enriched , with their perpetual unconditional love that they all give so freely ! I have great references, am a non smoker, non drinker. I live and love a no drama, very peaceful kind of life, and also have my own Vehicle ! I also do house sitting ! If you'd like to contact me for possible Pet sitting job, or need a house sitter, please feel free to contact through Rover.com, or PM message me on Facebook ! Thank you ! Karen S .
