Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home

We are always home. I am a full time pet sitter and so happy to be here for your pets. We love all dogs and breeds and making them comfortable when they are separated from their owners (and giving the owners peace of mind) is very rewarding. Why I love dog sitting Because dogs are literally the best thing ever. Can't even imagine a life without dogs! About my yard We have a great space for dogs and an amazing walking trail that goes around our neighborhood. My experience administering medication So many of our clients have to take medicine on a regular basis due to a variety of needs, we are at the expert level here with oral medication. Shots are not something we have had to do regularly, but we are comfortable with that too.

Safety, trust & environment

They are just family when they are with us. If they are allowed on your couch or bed that is fine here as well. We follow exact feeding instructions for each pet and make sure they have everything they need. We never leave dogs alone.

Always feel totally at ease leaving my pup with Karen. I know she will be loved on and taken on plenty of walks and played with. Love the updates as well. I’ve recommended Karen to so many friends!

Karen is simply the best! It's so hard finding a dog sitter to trust with your baby but I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. Whenever my dog sees Karen and her husband again he absolutely loses his mind with excitement, he loves them. Highly recommend Karen!

Karen was amazing! I could tell I would be able to trust her and her husband to watch my baby as soon as I walked in their door to do our meet and greet. They were great with doing all of Lukas medications and even agreed to do his allergy shots. They take the dogs on tons of walks and the dogs are pretty much never alone. Highly recommend, they're super trustworthy sitters!

The sweetest woman who'll treat your babies like their own. Frequently send me pictures and bragged about how good my baby was.

House Sitting • Aug 11, 2022

Karen house sat for my puppy for 20 days while I was out of the country. She is wonderful and my puppy loves her!! She made sure I got frequent updates and pictures. She also made some chicken for my puppy when she ran out of the ones I had made. She took my pup out for long walks at least 3 times a day. I will definitely be calling Karen to house sit my puppy again.

Love all breeds that are well behaved and get along with dogs. We don't mind shy or energetic dogs, but they must not have any aggression towards other dogs. We meet and greet everyone before booking a stay so that you will be completely comfortable with us and we will know all of your preferences and needs before your dog's stay.
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.
