About: i’ve always had animals in my household so i am very familiar with how pets communicate and interact. i’ve been working in the pet industry for two years now and i understand animal behavior very well. i’m able to tell if animals are stressed, sick, injured, and anything else. i have training in breaking up dogs fights and general animal handling. i can do basic training as well, so i can continue any training that is currently being done with the dog. i have 2 dogs and 4 cats myself so i am quite equipped to deal with anything. i can give any medicine or special care since half of the animals i’ve had have been special needs rescues. i am not afraid of animals nor am i afraid of getting hurt by one, it’s simply part of the job. one of my biggest focuses is making sure pets are happy and healthy! i have open availability as of now! pet care is something that i’m always doing since i have many myself, it’s simply a part of my daily routine. your pet being happy is my number one priority! every pet is different so i would make sure i fit the needs of each animal.

“There is no one I would trust more than Karen to take care of my dog. She knows that dogs are family too! She has always given her dogs excellent care and she has given excellent care to our dogs too. When Hurricane Andrew hit us, she sent us the biggest bag of dog food I had ever seen. She wanted to make sure our dog was well-cared for! She is definitely the best person to take care of your dog too.”

18. Laia B.
“Laia is my sister, and I can say without a doubt that she will provide the safest, most loving care to any pet entrusted to her. From the time she was little, her love for animals has always shone brightly. She has an incredible way of connecting with them, whether it's her own beloved cats or any animal she meets. I’ve seen her go above and beyond to ensure her pets are happy, healthy, and loved, treating them as if they were her own children. She’s not just a pet owner, she’s a true animal lover with a heart full of compassion. Laia has always been the most caring and considerate person I know. She has a gentle spirit and a natural warmth that animals are instantly drawn to. Whether it’s patiently coaxing a shy cat out of its shell or taking the time to play and engage with a high-energy dog, Laia has the perfect balance of patience, empathy, and love. As someone who has entrusted her with the care of my own pets, I can personally vouch for the peace of mind she brings. Laia is incredibly responsible and attentive, always making sure that every need is met, whether it’s a special diet, extra playtime, or just some quiet cuddles. She goes out of her way to ensure that not only the pets but also their owners, feel comfortable and confident in her care. What makes Laia truly exceptional is the love she gives. She genuinely cares about the well-being of every animal she encounters, treating each one with the utmost respect and kindness. She is truly dedicated to making sure every pet she cares for is safe, happy, and loved. In short, Laia is the sweetest and most caring person I know, and any pet in her care is in the best hands possible.”

“It was my first time using Rover and Ashley was able to help me out in a pinch! Huge help and would 100% recommend her! Felt super confident and safe with her and that Park was getting the right care and love he needed!!”
20. carissa m.
“My good friend Carissa was wonderful with my 5 month old Frenchie Koda for 2 weeks while I was out of town! He just had surgery on his leg 2 weeks prior to me traveling and I do not prefer to board him, especially after surgery, so I asked Carissa to watch him while I was away. I needed to travel for an important work commitment I could not miss and I was very worried about having someone care for him. He needed to take medicine that she did great in giving to him and she also had to make sure he was not too active so his leg could heal. He also had a specific feeding schedule with prescription food and was allergic to chicken which she watched out for. She sent me lots of pictures, videos, and updates on how he was doing that made me feel a lot better. When I took him to the vet for his post surgery checkup he was healing wonderfully which was such a relief. I would recommend her to anyone based on her quality care, communication, and experience with many pets!”
