Pet care experience

I can't wait to meet your pets!

Most of my experience is with small pets such as budgies but I have had a cat since 2016 and have always adored dogs! I have also volunteered for a few months at the SPCA with cats. I'm excited to meet your lovely pets, big or small, and am offering dog-walking, house-sitting as well as check-ins. I also don't mind watering your plants while you're away. I live a few minutes from a metro station so I can easily and quickly get to your location if you live near one too. I'm quite flexible with my time at the moment and I'm prompt with answering calls and messages if you need to communicate with me urgently. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions, looking forward to meeting the pet owners as well!

We had a great experience with Karen ! Communication was easy and she was patient with our cat Mugi who is always very shy ☺️. We recommend Karen’s services and will definitely book again if it is ok with her.

Karen is a reliable, professional and caring cat-sitter. She took great care of my 1.5 y/o tabby, updating me with pictures and providing detailed info at each visit. I’m glad I could count on Karen to drop-in and would definitely want her to care for my fur baby again in the future!

Karen was amazing - she agreed to housesit my dog over Christmas, she communicated well and sent cute pictures of Rocky, took great care of my fur baby and left the house spotless. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Karen!

Karen is a true pet lover, and she goes out of her way to make everyone (pets and owners alike) feel comfortable, happy, and not miss each other too much! I would trust her with my four cats anytime.

Karen a pris grand soin de nos deux chiens malgré qu'ils ne sont pas toujours très délicat avec les gens ! Elle est calme, très propre, et elle a même arrosé nos légumes et nos plantes extérieures pendant son weekend de toutous-gardienne chez nous. Nous allons utiliser ses services à nouveau c'est certain. Merci encore Karen !

Karen is a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter. She was very kind towards my two cats, it is clear how much she loves animals! She came over on the requested dates and completed all of the tasks that were asked of her: cleaning their eyes, brushing their fur, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, cleaning their water bowl, etc. I recommend choosing Karen as a pet sitter if you plan on being away from your home!

Schedule

I currently have summer off and looking to spend more time with your furry babies. I would never offer a service I don't have time for, so rest assured I will give your pets the care they need after work and on my days off.

Safety, trust & environment

For house sitting while you're away, I will spend a few hours a day with your pets and spend the night at your home every day until your return if necessary.

A typical day

I will look up the nearest parks and avoid busy streets. I'll make sure to find out what your dog likes to do on walks and adapt accordingly (bring their favorite toys and treats, or have them socialize with other dogs if they enjoy that). Not to mention lots of cuddles and belly rubs!

I love all types of dogs though i tend to have a soft spot for English bulldogs, chow chows and pitbulls. It would be important for me to know beforehand if your dog has a tendency to be excitable around other dogs or if they have specific medical needs as I would need training for that.
