Energetic, marathon running dog lover next to park
Pet care experience
Throughout my life, I've been privileged to offer a haven to three of the most endearing and resilient creatures – my rescue dogs! I miss them dearly now that I live in London ( Don’t worry, they are living at home with a large family of 10+ and are very happy) I've handled the joys and challenges of pet ownership with grace and patience, understanding the commitment it takes to provide a safe and loving home for these amazing animals. I have experienced the transformative journey of nursing a timid rescue dog into a confident, happy companion, and have appreciated the sheer joy of seeing them run freely with unabashed enthusiasm. I spend half of my year in Asia, and I live alone whilst in the UK, which makes owning a dog in London an irresponsible choice - Hence why I am here :) Despite my desire to adopt another, I respect the commitment and stability that these loving creatures require, and I wouldn't dream of providing anything less. In addition to the deep emotional connection I feel towards dogs, I also have the physical stamina to match their energy levels. As a marathon runner, I am blessed with an abundance of energy and endurance. A long walk or an energetic play session in the park is as much a joy for me as it is for them. Living right next to a large, dog-friendly park is another bonus. It's the perfect environment for dogs to socialize, explore, and burn off some of that boundless energy they possess. Over the years, my affinity for animals has extended beyond my own pets. I've had the pleasure of looking after friends' pets, providing them with care, company, and, of course, plenty of playtime. These experiences have deepened my understanding of various pet personalities and needs, reinforcing my belief that each pet is unique and deserves individualized care. My professional life has also intersected with my love for animals. As an actress, I've had the unique opportunity to work with animals on TV and in commercials. This experience not only required professional training but also a deep understanding and respect for the animals I worked with. It demanded patience, gentleness, and effective communication to ensure their comfort and wellbeing on set. From teaching a dog new tricks for a commercial, to fostering a natural and affectionate rapport with an animal co-star on a TV show, these experiences have given me a unique perspective on animal behavior. I've learned to read their signals better, understand their needs, and interact with them in a way that fosters trust and respect. When it comes to pet-sitting, I offer flexibility based on what works best for you and your pet. I am comfortable and experienced in providing care either at my own home or yours, ensuring that your pet is in a comfortable and familiar environment. If at my place, rest assured they will be treated as part of the family with all the comforts of home. If at yours, I would respect and maintain the routines and rules that you have established for your pet. In both cases, your dog would receive not just basic care, but plenty of affection, attention, and activity to keep them happy and content. I am eager to channel my love and experience into caring for others' beloved dogs. It would be an honor and a pleasure to provide them with the same level of care, affection, and attention that I've lavished on my own dogs.
Reviews
Karyn was very professional, friendly, sweet and caring with Bimba and Maya. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. B&M seemed really happy and cuddly with Karyn and i recommend her and would definitely book with her again 🙌🙌🙌
Karyn has to be East London’s best walker! I booked her very last minute due to a family emergency but she was quick to respond and the booking went smoothly. My dog Nala loved her!!! She was so excited to meet her which is always a good sign and Karyn kept me up to date with pictures of Nala on her walk. I will 100% will be using Karyn again! Thank you so much Karyn!
Karyn was great! She was keeping me updated for everything and my dog loved her! I really recommend her!
Karyn was so sweet with Scout, and kept us updated with cute pictures. She asked great questions about anything we'd forgotten to mention. We'll happily book again!

I am currently working from home so my time is very flexible! I also live right across the road from priory park and will take your fur baby out every hour for bathroom breaks and a little stroll! Also depending on your preferences I can walk the dog long distance 1-2 times a day.
