Loving up on the Underdog!

Pet care experience

I have been dedicated to helping animals in some capacity throughout my entire life. Whether I'm volunteering for an animal rescue, working in animal rights, or transporting a newly rescued dog to her adopted family, I have always been helping out in any way that I can. ​ I started growing my petsitting business by caring for friends' and family's pets. Many of my return clients these days travel frequently for work in the entertainment industry, and I have built a solid reputation across Los Angeles County as a highly trustworthy and loving pet sitter and house sitter. I am a vegan, I have previous work experience with a veterinarian, and I am a softy for the underdog. I love to care for special needs and elderly pets.

Karen is an animal whisperer! She has a love for all animals and is the best house/pet sitter. She's trustworthy, responsible, respectful and treats your animals like royalty! She evens sends you pictures while you are away if you want (she happens to be a great photographer too). I would recommend her to anyone!

Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet

Leash aggression is nice to know about prior to a sit if we will be walking every day. I have a lot of experience working with homeless/rescued animals, I would have to say I understand them best. However, I have a peaceful, loving demeanor and most animals warm up to me quickly. I love them all, and all of them tend to love me right back. :)

A typical day

I will follow your instructions to a tee for feeding, walks and administering medications. Otherwise, we play ball, frisbee, or fetch with toys, and I absolutely love to brush them, if they are open to it. It's a great way to let them know you are safe and they can trust you. I don't typically take the animals in my car unless it's for a vet appointment, grooming or something requested by the owner. I'm happy to bathe the little ones, too if requested. If a hike trail is nearby, we are so there!
