Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care to fit your pet’s needs
I’ve had a huge variety of pets since age 6, and truly love meeting and caring for others’ pets, as though they were my own! I have a 17-year old rescued Chihuahua, who is fully spoiled, and is lucky enough to eat homemade food, which speaks to my background of being a Registered Dietitian over the past 36 1/2 years! He became intolerant of purchased foods, so I made the switch. I have cared for the dogs of family and friends, once sitting for 5 dogs for ONE client over a weekend. I also have experience pet-sitting part-time for a previous petcare company in Champaign. I learned a lot from them:)

Karen is an excellent communicator. It was so reassuring that she was caring for our not so easy behavior cat. We highly recommend her.
Karen is much more than a Rover for us. She takes care of our baby Smokey with a lot of love and goes the extra mile with making sure everything is tidied up for when we arrive, amazing 5 stars 🙏🏻🙌🏻🤩 Thank you so much, Karen!
