I have known Karen for over 10 years. We are actually roommates. I have a cat, Marvin, who requires 2 insulin shots each day. I work most nights, so Karen gives Marvin his evening shot. Marvin has grown to love and trust her. Karen has 2 cats and 1 bird. Her "kids" are extremely loved by her. She talks to them more than me! LOL. Sometimes I truly believe that Karen loves animals more than people:) She also house sits our neighbors dogs. They meet her with lots of kisses. I do highly recommend Karen to care for other peoples pets. She will put them first in her care. She even feeds the outside critters, racoons, opposum and squirrels. Birds and hummingbirds too!!
