All animals are gifts!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets of all sizes since I was 13 years old. My parents owned a pet store and my love for animals was established early.

Karen is excellent with all pets from reptiles to cats and dogs. She has cared for my dog Zena for years now and it has always been a great experience. She treats your pets as if they are her own and you never have to think twice about whether your pets are getting the love they deserve while you’re away when they’re with Karen.

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy spending time with them and don’t mind sitting while you run errands, overnight or checking in on them to give them cuddles or walks.

Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet

How they handle new places, walk on leashes and overall how they are around new people. I believe these are the essentials that will help them have the best of time in your absence.

A typical day

Taking them on walks and allowing them to enjoy being outside helps reduce their anxiety and energy. Going to parks allows them the opportunity to get that energy out while being somewhere that is safe and engaging.

I currently work full time but looking for a job that will allow me to help out others with their dogs whether through sitting or stopping in to check on them. I have had dogs of all sizes growing up and into my adult life. All dogs are special to me.
