Safety, trust & environment

For me my cats do not go outside and if I walk my dog they stay on leashes. I check that they’re fed and that they have water and don’t mind taking my dogs outside regularly to make sure they can potty. In a clients house their animals safety and comfortability is most important to me.

Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet

Their eating schedules. The limits as to where I can take them for exercising. What medication they need if any. Where they get fed and portion sizes.

A typical day

I love going on walks and hanging out at the dog parks. If they have toys I can spend hours playing with those. Dogs love car rides so depending on what the owners comfortable with even that! Hikes, walks, just sitting outside, you name it!

Animals are my favorite

Pet care experience

I have volunteered for a couple of years now with predominantly dogs. Taking them on walks and giving them lots of love and attention. Supporting them when they need it most. If there’s an animal around, chances are I’m petting it!

Karen did drop in visits while I was out of town. She was a punctual and sent me messages and photos while she was walking the dogs. We are very pleased with her service and will definitely use her again in the future.

Karen was a terrific pup sitter, house sitter and chicken sitter! She is extremely kind and caring. She was reliable and took very good care of the entire place in our absence. We would definitely recommend her for a sitter.
