Availability
I am a full time medical student, and truly do pet care for my personal enjoyment of loving on animals of all species, breeds, demeanors, and sizes! With that in mind, my schedule changes frequently, but I update my availability often :) if something is not listed, or marked as “away” please still reach out, as I would love to work caring for your baby into my day!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m a full time student, so while I am fairly busy, I will update my schedule accordingly! I will most likely be available evenings and weekends, but it will definitely change as I go through school. For HOUSE SITTING, I unfortunately am unable to stay the night, but pups staying in their own home will still get lots of love and snuggles. I typically follow the same potty schedule as my dogs for the day. If you need overnight care, check in to see if I’m available for boarding!! :) Let’s make it work, I’m just here for the extra fur baby kisses!
Home
Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any behaviors that may be of concern! This doesn’t mean I won’t take your baby, I just really need to know, to make sure they are as safe as possible when under my care.💓
A typical day
Pups at my house will get free time outside multiple times throughout the day. I typically let the dogs tell me when they want to come in, or leave the door open so they can move freely about! They have full access to toys and water, lots of fenced in yard to run in! For boarding & house sitting I typically follow the schedule of my own pups unless pet parents have other preferences! That typically looks like potty breaks every 5-7 hours or sooner, and meals around 7-8am and 6-7pm

Pet care experience
specializing in last minute/ short notice care!!🩷🩷🐾🐾 I am an out of state student with years of experience growing up on a farm in the south, caring for almost all types of animals! A non exhaustive list includes: dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, lizards, dragons, birds, etc etc! 🐈🐕🐇🐁🦔🐖🐄🐎🫏🐐🐍🐸🐟🐢🐓🐑🦎🦜🐦⬛🐹🐀🐿️ I joined Rover in October 2025 truly because I love spending time with animals, but have been doing regular pet sitting as needed throughout my life. :) I currently have two rescue pups and a mini-rex rabbit. I would love to get to have study dates and love on your baby as my own while you are away ❤️

Reviews
Karen was awesome. She responded extremely quickly and was available on super short notice. She was easy to work with and sent great updates.
Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!
She is was able to cut my cat’s nails with ease! I have been trying to do it myself for 8 months with zero luck!
Karen was so flexible and able to care for Wrigley last minute. Wrigley is a little shy at first so we were super grateful that she was able to get her to warm up and took pictures and gave Wrigley such great attention! Thank you!
