Animal lover to the rescue!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Daisy and I’ll love your pets as if they were my own! (my real name is Karyn, but my nickname is Daisy, which I prefer :) I have had 14 years of pet sitting experience and have cared for pets full-time for a few years now. I love all animals, but most of my experience has been with dogs and cats. I can host pets in my home, but prefer to be on their home base when doing overnights. Please note- I have my own dog and most of the time would need to bring her with me to overnights. She is a small, playful gal and gets along with everyone (even cats!). I am also available for walks, vacation sitting, and drop-ins. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am comfortable administering medication to pets. My schedule is usually pretty flexible. Whatever your needs may be, I am adaptable and want to provide your animals with the love, attention, and affection they want and need. (I have no problem letting loner type furbabies do their own thing, too!) I will love your pet as if they are my own! My schedule revolves around their needs. I don’t leave dogs alone for more than a few hours and treat my stays as if I’m living there for the duration- eating there, hanging out with the animals and watching tv, relaxing outside with them. I respect your space and will happily water plants, take out the trash, bring in mail, etc.

Karyn was great! I would definitely recommend her. She was good with our cat who is a tortoise shell and known to keep their distance. Punctual and kept me up-dated with pictures.

Daisy was absolutely wonderful! Responsive and took great care of our cats with photo updates included! She also brought in a package that got delivered early without me realizing it so it was great to come home to happy kitties and a well-taken care of home.

This was our first time using Rover, and we'll definitely do it again! Daisy (Karyn) took great care of our dog -- she was very attentive to all of Scout's routines and needs and sent us lots of pictures and reports. That was certainly comforting to anxious pet parents! Daisy brings her own dog when she house sits, but Sadie was a lovely, easy going dog and was no problem to have in the house. Daisy also worked out a complicated situation combining with another sitter, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to individualize what each pet needs. I stick to their routine as much as possible. I am comfortable sharing any space with animals and follow the house rules and reinforce anything you’ve taught them.

Information Karyn B. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like to know if they are house trained and what their specific needs are. I’d like to get an idea of their routine during meet and greets.

A typical day

I like to check-in on the dogs every few hours at least, or depending on the dog's needs. I have no problem sharing a room or bed with a pet. I enjoy playing with them outside or going to parks. I am happy to do any activities available or suggested, other than running!

Pet care is my full-time job. I regularly work lunchtime hours during the week and am otherwise flexible with my schedule. I don’t have kids or any other work, so animals are always my focus.
