Pet care experience

Snuggles, Snacks, & Shenanigans!🦴

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 ❤️

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!

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!

Karen was amazing! She was so caring and loving to our dog, and really went the extra mile to make sure he was taken care of, that we had thorough updates, and was attentive to any special requests or needs. I highly recommend Karen and will certainly try and hire her again in the future. Thank you, Karen! :)

Karen was great! She took so many great photos on her visit that showed me how much she cares for animals. They all warmed up to her immediately. Will definitely use her again in the future!
