Pet care experience

No pet too big or small 🥰🐕🐈

Hello there, I’m your friendly neighborhood dog enthusiast! I’ve always had a deep connection with all sorts of pets, especially dogs and cats. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I take pride in earning their trust and affection. Every pet deserves love and attention and I’m happy to do my part during my spare time. Whether it's a brisk walk around the block or a leisurely stroll in the park, or just some scritches, I'm committed to making each outing/interaction enjoyable and safe.

Karen was willing to come take care of our dog during our stay from out of town in an Airbnb. Our old dog can be a little shy but he must have felt comfortable enough to go for a walk with her. He seemed calm and co tent when we returned home from a night out.

Karen was fantastic! Our dog has some leash reactivity and Karen was happy to meet ahead of time and learn the training/commands we've been using to help Bailey overcome her reactivity. Karen provided an excellent overview of their walk and some great photos. She is very trustworthy and reliable. Would absolutely book again!

Before our first walk, I'd love to learn more about your pet’s personality, preferences, and any special needs so that I can provide the best care possible. Whether they have a favorite toy, a specific route they enjoy, or any dietary restrictions, any and all information is welcomed and appreciated.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
