My cat is my best friend and I look forward to coming home to her every day. But my life is incomplete without a dog. Unfortunately, I travel too often for work, so I decided to pet sit when I'm in town and make the best of it!

My Cat & I Want to Pet Sit For You!

Pet care experience

I've lived with dogs my entire life and a cat for the last six years. All my pets were raised with me from the time they were young. I love all animals & can't wait to meet yours!

Honestly, Karys was a life saver. Our trip was unexpectedly extended for an additional week. Karys was very flexible and continued the same great service making a stressful situation very tolerable.

Karys was an excellent sitter for my dog Storm! I can tell when I picked her up that she had a blast and was well cared for and loved. I feel safe knowing my dog was with such a kind person who clearly loves animals! My dog will definitely have another staycation with Karys!

Karys was a wonderful sitter for my cat Isabelle ! She made sure to give me periodic updates and I felt that Isabelle was in great hands while I was gone, Karys went above and beyond and I would highly reccomend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
