I’m respectful of the home and try to leave everything as I found it. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of our kitties Ping and Ollie! Your punctuality, updates and pictures were very much appreciated. Your persistence in trying to get pics of my “skitty kitties” was awesome and certainly paid off 😊 If you’re looking for a friendly, highly reliable person who truly cares about your pets, and keeps you posted, look no further, Karen is your girl!!! Will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again. 🥰 A+++”

About: I live with a Great Dane and a Mini Pitcher/Chihuahua mix. I have walked my neighbors dogs when they were out of town and played with them in their yard for a while. I watched my neighbors cats for a while until they moved, this involved feeding, changing water, loving on them, and changing their litter boxes, also cleaning the occasional puke. I currently am unemployed and looking for something to do with my time so I am very flexible and open. I am willing to make things work for you. Having a big dog and a small dog I am very comfortable around dogs and understand that these are your children. Also having experiences with cats lets me know how to treat them as well. Walking the dogs especially in the summer can be tough because of the heat so if I think it’s to hot I will not walk your dog, but would love to reschedule a different time.
About: Do you need someone on a daily basis to make sure Fido gets his exercise and sniffing requirements satisfied? Look no further! I will be there when you can't be. With love, care and compassion, I will take care of your furry family member and they will surely take a good nap after a nice walk. My pricing is competitive, my attitude is positive, my word is my bond, and my love is genuine. I am currently looking to fill some time slots between the hours of 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. - Monday thru Friday, I can house sit for you as well as pet sit for your special pup or kitty. I will care for your pooch or cat in the comfort of your home. You will be able to relax knowing your pet is being loved as if they were my own. References available upon request.
“Lisa Marie was fantastic with my boys! She sent me pics at every drop in and by the end even my less affectionate cat was loving up on her. She was very communicative and gave my two cats lots of playtime and love. It felt good to know that they were well taken care of! Usually my boys are full of energy after I leave them alone for a night or two, but they were very sweet and snuggly this time since Lisa Marie kept them busy with their toys! I will definitely use Lisa Marie again in the future.”
About: I truly have compassion and care for all animals. I am willing to listen to your pet care needs and follow all your instructions to care for your pet as you would like. I grew up on a farm and have been around all types of animals all my life! I currently work full time, however I work from home some days out of the week. And my schedule is fortunately very flexible. I'm able to care to care for animals during early mornings before work, for lunch visits, after 5pm and almost always weekends or holidays. Pet safety is a high priority in my household. I keep my home clean and all cleaning chemicals are stored in cabinets out of my pets access. I have a large fenced safe backyard that my daughter's dog enjoys running around every time he visits.
About: With 30 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’ve seen it all—tail wags, purrs, and the occasional goat mischief! From pampered pups to sassy cats and quirky farm friends, I’ve built a life around loving and caring for animals of all kinds. Trustworthy, reliable, and always ready with a treat (or two), I make sure your pets feel right at home while you're away. Think of me as your furry (and hooved) family’s favorite human! Life doesn’t always follow a 9-to-5, and neither do pets! I offer care to fit your schedule—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a sunrise stroll, a dinner-time cuddle, or care during a weekend getaway, I’m here to help—on your time. I also do sniff spots - basically it’s like a private dog park for you in my backyard. Message me for details. When it comes to caring for your pets, trust is everything—and I’m committed to earning and keeping that trust every day. I’m neat, organized, and always follow the guidelines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or favorite playtime spots, I take every detail seriously. Above all, your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own, with love and care every step of the way. Please note for the safety of all pets and people proof of your pet’s up to date vaccination records will be required.
“Hi. This was my first time using Rover.com I am so glad that I did. I went on vacation for a week and was so nervous about leaving my babies home alone. But, Dawn was so good with them that all of my worries were put to rest and I could enjoy myself. Dawn made sure that she checked in with me every day to let me know that they were ok. I will definitely be using Rover.com if I go away again and I will use Dawn again to take care of my Cats. Thanks Dawn!”
