College student, loves animals!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of my parent's friend’s dogs for two years when they go on vacation! I also have three dogs and a cat of my own, so I have had experience with them for my entire life!

Karena was amazing! She was flexible with scheduling, sent lots of photos, and it was really reassuring having her look after our pets. It was our first time leaving them and we will definitely be using Karen's services again!

Karena was awesome to Tyler! Brought her to the dog park and even cleaned her up after

Karena is amazing! She’s taken care of my dog many times and she’s very responsible and caring. My dog doesn’t like many people but she loves Karena. She has a gift with animals and I highly recommend her.

LOVE Karena! She's a kind, caring, RESPONSIBLE person who loves animals. And our two dogs (plus cat!) love her. Seriously. Kind of more than us. She's stayed in our home caring for them (and the house) over long weekends, as well as made multiple daily visits to feed, walk, and adore, when we've needed it.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my pets in my home just by playing and spending time with them. I also give them treats when they are being good and like to spend time with them outside, walk them and give pets lots of love!

Information Karena W. would like to know about your pet

The only thing I would really like to know is how your pet(s) react on walks and what is the normal feeding time for your pet(s)! Also, just anything that you would think would affect me when I am watching your pet(s)!

A typical day

I am a first-year college student so I have not lived in Troy for long, but I have friends who live around here so I could also go to them to find fun places that are pet friendly! I would love to just find a nice park where I am able to run around with the dog because that is what I always used to do with my dogs when I am home!
