Pet care experience
Former kitten & puppy foster mom
I had 2 wonderful rescue dogs when I was in my 20s. They passed away and then I fostered kittens in my spare time. I don't currently foster but I still love caring for animals. I’m available to come give your dog a walk or feed any of your animals or stay with them for awhile - including overnights if I’m showing as available for housesittijg those days. Have a fish tank? I can give your fish some food too and for a recent client brought their small tortoises inside during the nighttime each night for a 3-night overnight booking, and have fed a bearded dragon mealworms.. :) My 14 year-old son wants to be a veterinarian and has gone to summer camp at America's Teaching Zoo in Moorpark. If you book me and there's any times for when he'd be not in school, I'll check to see if you want him to come along. Animals love him so much and as you can see from my photo gallery, it seems they prefer to cuddle and play with him than me sometimes :D I ask ahead of time and if you prefer that only I visit / stay, that's completely fine and he'd stay at our own house with our cat Mango.

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is not fenced, so if you need boarding I have the ability to bring dogs out to my yard or take them on walks in my safe neighborhood but they would not be outside alone. I can also go to your home and sit with your pet, go on walks or play. Cleaning up after a pet is expected including messes or litterboxes. I also offer walking service for dogs and nail trimming for cats and dogs.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing. First cat sitter that seemed to have no problems giving our diabetic cat an injection. Will use again!
Karen is great! My Ava girl loves her!
Thank you!
Karen was delightful and took great care of Friday!
Karen is an incredible pet sitter and took care of our 2 dogs (babies). Her warmth, compassion, and knowledge put us at ease. Like any devoted pet parent, we were nervous about entrusting someone new with our 2 small dogs, but she quickly showed how caring and communicative she is. Not only was she kind and trustworthy, but she also went above and beyond especially when our flight was delayed and she added extra time and walks. She took the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, and her gentle approach made the dogs feel safe. We prefer a lot of pics and updates and she stayed in communication with us throughout the entire stay.
Karen is the best. Always takes great care of our cats.
