Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s second favorite human
I’m passionate about giving dogs the care and joy they deserve. Living by the river and a spacious park, I take pups on fun adventures—swimming, playing fetch, and exploring trails. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, seniors needing gentle walks, and dogs with special diets or meds. I’m calm, consistent, and always in tune with each dog’s personality, helping them feel secure, active, and loved every day.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Each pet gets personalized attention based on their age, energy level, and personality. Puppies get structured playtime, gentle training reinforcement, and plenty of naps. Older dogs can stretch out in cozy spots, enjoy low-stress walks, and get all the patience and care they deserve. Active pups will love our outdoor adventures, from sniffari strolls to trail runs and occasional river visits. I maintain a peaceful environment with low stress, consistent routines, and lots of affection. No overcrowding, no chaos—just safe, happy pets living their best lives while you’re away. Your pet’s health and happiness are always my priority. You’ll get updates, peace of mind, and a pet who’s excited to see me coming.
Ratings and reviews
An animal lover! Very considerate towards your pet’s and your needs! Loved her!
I’ve never seen my dog more excited than when Karen walks her! Always a delight to see Karen!
Karin did an amazing job caring for my one year old Great Dane puppy for almost three days. She ran with her, tried biking with her and just plain wore her out! Not only did she care for Abbey but she kept an eye on watering the yard, even bringing me some succulents to add to my yard from her yard! She did some major re-organizing in my kitchen! I felt completely at ease when gone! She did way more than expected and I will definitely use her again!!
Highly recommended! Sitter has great communication, our pet loved jogging around her beautiful neighborhood, and she was very kind ( an obvious animal lover : ) We would definitely book again!
Super friendly and our dog, Sally, absolutely loved her! Would definitely book again in the future!
Karin is, without exaggeration, the only person we trust to care for our dogs. We have a very bonded Chocolate Lab named Summer and her younger brother, Jungo, a Rottweiler mix who just recently graduated from the ‘wild puppy’ stage. Jungo can be a handful—he’s strong-willed, mischievous, and tends to pester Summer when he’s bored. Karin came in and immediately established herself as a confident, calm, and loving presence. She intuitively knew how to balance firm boundaries with loving attention. Jungo responded to her like magic—he was focused, less jumpy, and even more respectful of Summer’s space. Karin incorporated mini-training sessions throughout the day and brought enrichment toys that challenged his mind and helped redirect his energy. Summer, who’s very attached and doesn’t usually handle separation well, didn’t miss a beat with Karin around. Karin ran with them, played fetch at the park, and even took them swimming—one of their favorite things. She clearly took great joy in every moment with our dogs, and her detailed daily check-ins gave us peace of mind while we were away. Karin clearly loves animals, is professional, deeply respectful of our home, and always keeps safety a top priority. She’s reliable, compassionate, and truly an expert in her field. Bottom line: she’s not just a sitter—she’s part of the family now. We hope she’s available next time we leave town—though we’re fully aware that someone this amazing won’t have an open calendar for long!

Schedule
I have complete flexibility for pet sitting, as I work only a few hours a day from home. This allows me to provide attentive, consistent care whenever it’s needed.
