Karen was super responsive and attentive while house sitting for our older Rhodesian Ridgeback! He’s very picky about who he allows around him - we introduced him to a few sitters before he was immediately comfortable with Karen. She’s a pet whisperer. During our long weekend, we got plenty of photos and texts, and felt very comfortable that our animals and house were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again!l

A typical day

A typical day with your dogs and cats begins with the gentle stir of morning light and the soft sounds of paws padding across the floor. As you rise from bed, you're greeted by eager faces—tails wagging and purrs vibrating in the dawn's quiet. Your dogs may nudge you playfully, while your cats stretch gracefully, claiming their morning attention. After a quick stretch and yawn, it’s time for breakfast. The dogs wait in excited anticipation, tails thumping rhythmically against the kitchen floor. The cats, with their dignified patience, perch nearby, observing your every move with discerning eyes. Meal time is a bustling affair, filled with happy noises of contented munching. Post-breakfast often means a brisk walk for the dogs. Their enthusiasm is contagious as they tug at their leashes, noses twitching in the fresh air, eager to explore every scent along the route. Meanwhile, the cats enjoy the morning sunbeams streaming through the windows, perhaps chasing dust motes or lazing on their favorite perch. Midday is quieter—a time for you to catch up on tasks while your furry companions nap. The dogs curl up nearby, loyal shadows at your feet, while the cats find cozy nooks, occasionally stirring to reposition with a luxurious stretch. Afternoon brings playtime. Dogs dash after balls, tails high and spirits higher, engaging in games of fetch and tug-of-war. The cats join in with their own brand of fun, chasing feather wands, stalking toy mice, and leaping with graceful agility. As evening falls, dinner is served, followed by a calm wind-down. The dogs lay by your side, content and relaxed, while the cats curl into soft, warm bundles, purring quietly. The day ends as it began—with the comforting presence of your beloved pets, their companionship a constant source of joy and tranquility.
