Loving Stay at Home Dog Aunty❤️

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for all types of animals (dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, fish) since I was a young child. My step-dad still talks about all the stray pets I would bring home 😊. I am currently living in a pet free home, our long time family dog, Rocky, recently passed. I have the time and the experience for dog walking, and the perfect home environment for pet sitting. I would love the opportunity to walk, play with, and care for your dog when you are away.

Karen really understands dogs and all their special personality traits. My dog can be high octane and challenging but Karen is experienced. I felt comfortable leaving Oso with her and she sent tons of pictures, which is quite reassuring. Thank you so much Karen!

Karen was fantastic. It was our 2-year-old bordoodle's first night away from home. Of course, we were concerned with separation anxiety. We have also found that a tired dog is a happy dog, and our dog requires a lot of exercise to be anything close to tired. Karen took Hiwahiwa for a walk right away after we left her off. Fortunately, for her and us, she lives right across from a park and a block from a nice trail. She sent us LOTS of photos evidencing her obvious care and showing our pup as happy and contented. We definitely hope to use Karen's services again when our schedules permit.

Karen is our first choice for dog sitters, she’s fantastic. Our dog always has an amazing time, and we get tons of pictures of her being loved on.

Karen took such good care of my fur baby, he didn’t want to come home! She sent lots of pictures and he always looked so happy. I would definitely use Karen again.

Safety, trust & environment

Our family dogs were crate trained when they were young (we still have the crate available). Once potty trained and past the chewing stage, they were able to be free to roam in our house and fenced backyard. We have a pool in our backyard, and have a side yard if your doggie shouldn’t have access around a pool. We don’t have any pets at this time. I would be open to discuss your dogs routine and home life to see if our home is a good fit.

I am flexible and looking to take on a few dog walking clients near my home in Elk Grove, and would like to be available to board one dog at a time to cover client vacations.
