Safety, trust & environment
I am cautious and aware, making sure that pets are safe at all times, I like to be preventative and think one step ahead. During walks, I am aware of my surroundings, if you have a specific route you walk I can stick to that route. Communication is key, making sure I am informed of anything that you need me to take note of. I’m always respectful of property and boundaries.
Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet
Things to think about, special areas to enjoy or avoid, damage prevention for scratchers or chewers, specific ways to access your property. Point of contact and emergency contacts - including your veterinarian.
A typical day
I enjoy long 20-30 minute walks, one on one time per pet, giving treats and petting, routine commands to maintain stimulation, food prep and hygiene are always considered.

Safe and Reliable Cat Care
Cat care experience
I have owned cats throughout my life, including my current rescue, Kenny. I understand feline behavior and respect their boundaries. I am comfortable administering oral medications, and maintaining routines. I understand that cats are sensitive to changes in their environment. My goal is to maintain their existing schedule as closely as possible to minimize stress while you are away. - Safety - Safety is my priority — I will be extremely cautious about making sure doors stay shut and windows are locked.
Reviews
’ve known Karen for a long time, and she’s truly one of the most dependable people in my life. She has such a natural attentiveness and care when it comes to animals, and she treats every pet like her own. She’s extremely detail-oriented, responsible, and someone you can always count on to show up and do things the right way. I would trust her completely with my home and my pets, no questions asked. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog walker.
Karen is someone who follows through on every detail. She’s observant, grounded, and very protective of the people and animals in her life. She’s the person you call when you need someone who is going to be consistent, show up on time, and keep a close eye on things.
I’ve seen firsthand how much care Karen puts into her own pets, Kenny and Dax. She is incredibly patient with her rescue cat and knows exactly how to handle her high-energy German Shepherd. She treats animals with a lot of respect and is always hyper-aware of their safety and well-being.
