Your pet will have a pawsome time!

Pet care experience

I've always loved animals and I've been lucky to have both dogs and cats leave their pawprints on my heart! I currently have a wonderful puppy at home. It's my honor to be a volunteer working with dogs at a local animal rescue center, both with adult dogs and puppies. I help with anything I can, from cleaning kennels, preparing enrichment feedings, socializing puppies in quarantine, bathing puppies, and working with the behavioral team. It's hard work, but somehow I leave with more energy and joy than I had when I walked in! Animals have that special gift of spreading joy! I'd love to bring my experience and love for animals to you, and give your furry friends all the love and attention they need when you're away.

Karen was fantastic! She made our usually anxious dog feel completely at ease, which is no easy feat. It was clear our pup had a great time, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates. Highly recommend her!

Karen took such great care and dropping in on my dog while I was out of town. I never had to worry, always got a post walk report, kept my dog fed and watered, and plenty of love! I would def recommend Karen for anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

When I visit your home, I will feed your pets, and walk your dog. Whether your dog is large or small, a senior or a puppy, and anything in between, I will tailor the level of activity to their needs.

Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet

Please share as much information about your pet as you can! When I have detailed information on feeding, walking apparatus and habits, and any special needs your pet has, I will be better able to make sure your pet receives the best care possible, and you can rest easy knowing that I have all the details about how to keep your pet happy and safe!

A typical day

An energetic walk through the park, or a slow stroll around the block? A nice belly rub and ear scratches, or a fun session of fetch in the back yard? No matter what your dog needs, I'm ready to tailor my visit so every dog (and cat!) in my care is happy and safe.

I am available most days for dog walking and drop in visits for dogs and cats, in the Media/Swarthmore area. Although I have several recurring lunch-time bookings, I am generally able to fit a new local walk in between visits to my fluffy friends!
