Safety, trust & environment

I look after pets in their own home. Not only do you know that your pet is happy in their home with their normal routine, but also that someone is checking on your house while you’re gone.

Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet

I like to have as much information as possible with new clients. I like to know their likes and dislikes, what might make them nervous etc. I try to keep close to their normal routine and can easily adapt from a nervous pet to a fun loving energetic pet.

A typical day

I don’t really have a typical day. I can be taking care of a senior dog one day, the next few days might be cats and dogs, the day after that could be chickens and rabbits! Who ever I’m taking care of, I always get the best greeting!

Experienced, patient and reliable

Pet care experience

A little bit about me.. I’m a caring, responsible, fun loving adult with a huge passion for animals of all kinds. I have a Toy Poodle and a cat who are my life! I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, and I take care of your pets like they are my own. I have experience with nervous dogs that need a little time to trust, and will do a meet and greet so you see how I interact with your pet. I keep in constant contact and do everything I can to reassure you that your fur baby is in the best hands, even FaceTime! I absolutely love my job and look forward to meeting you soon!

Karen was fantastic. She was very communicative, friendly, and sent me photos daily and a brief rundown of my pups walks. I will absolutely book her again for my next travel!

Karen has been walking our pup regularly for about 5 months now. She is great with him and her love of animals is clear. She's flexible and reliable. I would recommend to anyone who needs pet care services.

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.
