Pet care experience

Tender petcare

Hello! I am a BIG animal lover. Growing up, we always had pets in our home, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and mice to name a few. Recently our family dog of 14 years passed away and now I have only two cats Leo (16 years old) and Taz (5 years old). I'm looking to walk dogs or and cuddle and feed your cat. Reach out! Would love the opportunity to meet your pet!

Karen was amazing with my 2 cat babies!! Loved getting the photos from her and knowing they were being taken good care of. Good communicator, very kind person, and loves animals. Would most definitely recommend and will definitely book again! :)

Karen was so attentive to Hermes’ needs while we were away. I appreciate her attention to detail and the great photographs I got after her check-ins. 10/10 will definitely book again!

Karen’s love for all animals is evident when you see her around any animals- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs- she loves them all and she takes caring for them very seriously. Karen has taken care of my daughter’s dog, a timid and sweet rescue who we do not trust with just anyone. Her dog not only loves Karen, but also responds very well to her (not true of everyone). When Karen has taken care of my daughter’s dog has taken pictures of them cuddling and playing. She is good about knowing how to walk her and picking up on her cues, understanding the challenges with rescue dogs. In addition to loving animals, Karen is a very caring person and is someone you can count on. Caring, responsible and trustworthy- a pet sitter you can count on! !

Karen is one of the most reliable, caring, and responsible pet caregivers I know. She has always taken exceptional care of her own cats, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. Her ability to handle all aspects of pet care, including administering medication when needed, is a testament to her attention to detail and genuine care for animals. Her friendly and professional demeanor makes her a pleasure to work with, and her love for animals is clear in everything she does —she’s fantastic and loves all animals deeply! I am confident that Karen would be an outstanding addition to the Rover community, and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for dependable and loving pet care.

Karen is awesome with dogs. She’s got a big heart and is patient, gentle and calm with animals, and she always seemed to read her dog’s body language well. I have no doubt she’d make a great pet-sitter and would wholeheartedly trust my dog in her care as I know he would be in the best of hands. He’s the love of my life so I wouldn’t put him anywhere else!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or fears. Does your dog enjoy a fast walk or idle walk? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? It's important for me to understand all the details!
