About Karen S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells and routines. You’ll find me to be calm, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home. I care for every household as though it were my own, taking time to learn each pet’s personality, routines and preferences. I particularly enjoy caring for companion dogs and cats who love being close to people, whether that’s sharing quiet company while I read, relaxing nearby while I work, or spending time outdoors together in the yard or on a walk. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away.
Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet
Before we begin, I’d love to learn about your pet’s normal routine, personality and any special care they may need. Please let me know if your pet experiences anxiety during thunderstorms or fireworks, has mobility or vision challenges, is recovering from surgery, takes medication, has dietary restrictions or is reactive to other animals or unfamiliar people. I’d also appreciate knowing about any household rules, such as whether pets are allowed on furniture, favourite walking routes, areas of the yard to avoid, escape tendencies, favourite toys, feeding routines and where leads, harnesses and supplies are kept. The more I know before your trip, the more confidently I can help your pet feel safe, comfortable and at home.
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, so I adapt each day to suit their individual needs. Some pets enjoy leisurely walks around the neighborhood, while others are happiest playing in their own yard, chasing a favorite ball or simply relaxing beside me while I read or work quietly on my laptop. Many dogs love curling up at my feet, and cats often decide my lap—or even my chest—is the perfect place for an afternoon nap! Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, conversation or peaceful companionship, I’m happy to follow their lead and maintain the routine they’re most comfortable with.

Sounds like an episode of Bluey
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Kas 🇦🇺 I’m an Australian living in 77328, Texas, and I specialize in-home house and companion pet care for families who value trusted presence, consistent routines, and complete peace of mind. Your pets remain relaxed in the comfort of their own home while enjoying the care of someone who speaks with an Australian accent. Yes, I come with an Australian accent at no extra charge—your pets may not understand me, but they’ll probably feel like they’re on an episode of Bluey! 🐾 Every household is different, so I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pets enjoy quiet companionship, being a little shadow and keeping their carer in line of sight in case there’s a chance of meatballs, regular walks, sun-time, playtime, medication support, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, for whatever reason, I’ll tailor my care to help them and you feel secure and settled. Ideal for: • Dogs and cats who thrive in their own home • Pets who appreciate and seek near proximity human companionship • Multi-pet households • Owners traveling for visiting family, away on business, medical care or vacation or simply out for the day. I intentionally accept a limited number of house-sitting bookings each month and generally care for only one household at a time, allowing me to focus on maintaining your pet’s routine and providing attentive, personalized care. During your booking, your home can be my primary base. I like to bring my book, my laptop & handcrafts. While I may occasionally step out for appointments or errands, I aim to keep time away to a minimum and maintain your pet’s normal sleep, play, meal, nap routine as closely as possible. For overnight stays, morning and evening care, and extended daytime presence provide reassurance for both pets and owners. Clients describe me as calm, trustworthy, attentive, respectful, organized, and the sort of person who genuinely cares for a home as though it were my own. My goal is simple: for you to return home to happy, relaxed pets, looking forward to seeing you, a tidy and well-cared-for home, and the confidence that everything has been looked after while you were away. And if your dog welcomes you home barking with an Australian accent… well, I consider that a job exceptionally well done. I’d love to meet you—and your furry family members! Call me to arrange a meet and greet to check our compatibility.

Reviews
Karen is amazing with my babies, she is very responsive and reliable!
Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.
Meg & Nate L. Reviewed on 4/11/2024 Kas is a nearby neighbor who is three streets from our home. She’s started out as a childcare sitter with my two children aged 2 & 6 for early morning and half day appointments. Then we added pet sitting when our family travels interstate. She has pet sat our medium sized dog (a 3 year old large golden Labrador) multiple times now with 3-4 visits per day, including outside grass time, sunshine time, feeding, watering and cuddles. Kas keeps in contact, including photos and is trustworthy, respectful, reliable, on time and tidy in our home. Kas has gone above and beyond our expectations each time we have booked her service. 5/5 stars for sure.
Jack and Jill M (Woodforest, Tx) Reviewed on 4/11/2024 We, including my boy’s, love Kas. She has kept my dogs for a couple of years now. Kas is punctual, tidy, engaging and playful with my dogs. She always goes above and beyond anything I’ve asked of her. Kas is trustworthy and reliable and we are grateful she is apart of our village.
