Pet care experience

Love 'em as my own

Hello, I've had the joy of having dogs and cats my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of all size, from Yorkies to Rottweilers. Currently my fur babies are Koda, an Australian Kelpie mix, Maple, a GSD puppy, and Pebbles, queen of the house calico. I'm looking forward to caring for your furr babies and keeping them happy and healthy by providing drop-in visits or going for fun walks.

Safety, trust & environment

It takes special humans to welcome pets into their homes, and they become members of your family. And as such, you can count on me to treat your babies as I would my own.

Karen is a true animal lover. She went above and beyond to take care of our fur baby while we were away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.

The walk was cancelled but the meet and greet was great. Karen was very good with my dog.

Karen is very pleasant and kind. She took time out of her day to come and meet our dogs prior to the day she was going to take care of them for the first time. Karen showed up when she said she would and stayed 30 minutes each visit. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our senior dogs with Karen. We highly recommend Karen for your next dog sitter!

Karen is fantastic and goes above and beyond in her care. She treated my cat like a princess while also looking after my house while I was traveling. She is very responsive in communication.

This is the second time we booked Karen for drop in visits. We trust her with our home and our pets. She is a wonderful communicator and provides pictures and updates during and/or after her drop in visit. She is amazing!! We’ll be booking her again in the future if she’s available. Thanks again for another wonderful experience, Karen!

Karen did an AMAZING job with Paco, our geriatric special needs Chihuahua. She put in all the love and care he needed to make sure he was cared for properly. She came for a meet and greet, brought treats for him, and took her time letting him get to know her. She came over again the day we left and provided the same level of authentic care. She sent multiple pictures and provided updates during each drop in. She offered flexibility if Paco refused to eat or drink, which put our minds at ease. We will definitely book Karen for all future trips if she’s available. My neighbor also messaged me on vacation to tell me I picked an amazing pet caregiver because she showed up when she was scheduled and stayed the full time. I will be referring Karen to all my fellow pet parents! Thanks again, Karen!
