Love dogs, books, and a good coffee

Karen was so kind and took great care of my baby boy! She eased my stress about leaving him for the first time and clearly cared so much and gave him all the love and attention while I had to be out of town. She is the best!

Karen was able to help out on a last minute request. My dog has a bit of anxiety and Karen was able to calm him quickly and he was relaxed for the entire stay. Karen even sent photos of Reggie! Will be booking time in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I take the safety and well-being of every pet under my care very seriously. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can rest assured that they will be treated like family. Trust is essential in pet care, and I strive to build that trust with every pet parent I work with. I’m always available to address any concerns or answer questions to make sure you feel comfortable while you're away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me involves plenty of playtime, exercise, and love for your pets. I start with a walk or run, depending on your pet's energy level and needs. I like to engage pets in fun and stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. This could include playing fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive puzzle games that challenge their minds. If your pet enjoys socializing, we might visit a local dog park or take a stroll through pet-friendly areas. For those who prefer a more relaxed environment, we can enjoy some quiet time with gentle petting and cuddles. In the afternoon, we might have another walk or play session, followed by some rest. I ensure they have plenty of water and a comfortable place to relax. In the evening, we wind down with another round of exercise or a leisurely walk before dinner. I make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and cared for, just as you would. I believe in making pet sitting a fun and enriching experience. Here are some activities your pets can look forward to: adventure walks, Playtime, socializing, cuddles ? I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Before taking care of your beloved pets, it's important for me to gather some key information to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. Here are some things I like to know ahead of time: - Medical History: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications your pet requires. - Diet and Feeding Schedule: Specific dietary needs, meal times, and any treats they are allowed. - Behavioral Traits: Any quirks, fears, or behaviors to be aware of, such as anxiety triggers or aggression toward other animals. - Exercise Needs: Your pet’s energy levels and preferred types of exercise or play. - Routine and Habits: Daily routines, favorite activities, and any specific commands or training cues they respond to. - Social Preferences: How your pet interacts with other animals and people, and any preferences for socializing or solitude. - Emergency Contacts: Your preferred veterinarian’s contact information and any emergency contacts. Gathering this information helps me provide the best possible care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and happy while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
