I love dogs

Pet care experience

I grew up always having dogs and cats as a kid,and continued that tradition for my kids. In 2013 I started dog (and other pets) sitting. I have never had a dissatisfied pet ( or owner). I believe in sitting in the pet's home for his or her comfort. Why make your pet go to a strange place? Wouldn't you feel better coming home to a happy pet ? Once you contact me I will arrange a meet and greet to talk with all of you, to make sure we are all comfortable, and so that I know all the needs and wants of the family. I would hope to spend a little play time so that when i come over I won' t be a complete stranger. Also ... I donate 10% of my proceeds to Pretty In Pink, in memory of my daughter Amy, for all the help they give to NC breast cancer sufferers.

Wonderful dog sitter! Kind and very attentive. Has a wonderful way with people and dogs alike. My dog loves him and I never have to worry when Karl is taking care of him. Highly recommended.

Karl house sat for our 2 cats and 1 dog for 4 days. My cats, normally very shy around strangers, were sleeping on his lap the first night! He must be a cat whisperer :). Karl was great with Gator, our senior lab. Gator sometimes has separation anxiety when we leave, but not this time. Hmmm, dog whisperer too? My one cat needs medication twice a day and Gator once a day. Karl ensured medications were taken and all instructions were followed to a T. Home was clean when we came home, almost like no one was here. BUT I know that's not true as we received daily updates with photos on all pets. THANKS Karl. We'll be seeing you again.

Karl was a supervisor in a Children's Home for many years. He always provided excellent care for those kids. This same compassion is evident in Karl's pet sitting. Pets are not his clients. They are his friends........ My Tibetan Spaniel loved Karl !
