Pet care experience

Must love Dogs and Cats!

I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family.

Safety, trust & environment

A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.

Karin did a great job Watching Max and Chloe! She had a good energy during the meet and great and made coordinating everything easy. Karin sent me plenty of updates and pictures showing how the pups were doing. I could tell my dogs enjoyed themselves when I got home. She took great care of the house and even brought our Amazon packages inside. I would love to have Karin back to watch my pups the next time I go out of town and I would definitely recommend her to anybody else that needs a sitter.

We had a wonderful experience with Karin! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with photos and let us know right away if anything seemed unusual with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very transparent, flexible, and genuinely treated our dogs as if they were her own. It was clear that she truly cared about their comfort, happiness, and well being. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they received plenty of attention and love. We will be using her in the future and trust her with our dogs again. highly recommend Karin to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible pet sitter!

Karin has taken care of my animals for many years now and is very responsible and my dogs and cats love her! I would have her take care of my fur babies anytime.

Karin is very loving, caring and reliable when caring for our Sr Corgi and our large Great Dane lap dog. She truly accomodates their needs.

Schedule

Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️
