Safety, trust & environment

In your home or your client's, I provide tailored pet care: feeding, exercise, grooming, and affection. I follow instructions meticulously, monitor health, and ensure a safe, happy environment. Communication is key for peace of mind.

Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet

Please share the pet's temperament, personality quirks, likes, dislikes, and how they interact with other animals, strangers, and children. Are there any house rules or training commands the pet follows, such as where they're allowed to go in the house, if they're allowed on furniture, and any behavioral expectations. Are there any additional instructions or preferences the pet owner may have, such as preferred walking routes, grooming routines, or special treats.

A typical day

Remembering to consider the pet's personality, preferences, and any limitations they may have when planning activities. As I will always prioritize their safety and well-being while ensuring they have a fun and enriching experience during their time with you. We can enjoy outdoor adventures, playtime, and cuddle time.

We couldn’t be happier with Karen! She was incredibly reliable, arrived on time, took amazing care of our dogs, and kept our house clean and well cared for while we were away. She spent lots of time playing with the dogs and made sure they were happy and comfortable. She even went above and beyond by helping us with our garden and pulling weeds while we were gone, such a thoughtful surprise! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such great hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!

Karen has been a real lifesaver! She has helped out on several occasions (with very short notice) to check on my two dogs and cat. I really appreciate her and my beasts look forward to seeing her again soon!!

Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.

Karen brings her son and the two of them take my pup out every day. She obviously has fun and they are really good to her. I highly recommend her.
