About Karen

58 years old
I am a very responsible and experienced dog owner and caretaker and do not let them out of my sight. Although my preference is having them come to my home, I will also go to yours if necessary. I have a small blind dog of my own who was a rescue. I also foster dogs for rescues and volunteer with them. I find pet sitting is enjoyable and the dogs are happy and well taken care of. I can provide references. Most animals just love coming back after they stay with me the first time. I take them in the car, to the park to run and on walks and outings and they can go out in my fenced yard. I treat animals like kids and we have no kids in our home. I allow licks, hugs, kisses, and the animal can sleep in the bed, on the couch, or wherever they are the happiest. If they are ill or recovering, then I will nurture them and I can administer medications as required. I only ask that the food is supplied as every animal is different and some have diets or allergies to certain types of food. I supply dog treats to those that are allowed treats, and I have toys, beds, walking leashes, etc. Some animals have their own favourites so feel free to bring them. Nothing more a dog loves but love, affection, patience and being spoiled rotten!!!!

Karen is a wonderful, caring, friendly, kind, and loving caregiver to animals. She always makes time for our animals and it gives her pleasure to help. She is flexible and always provides good daily exercise for the animals and follows our requests of their daily routines. Our animals have adopted her to love and always look forward to spending time with her when ever they get a chance. She is a wonderful animal caregiver. I recommend Karen to care for your animal with tender love and she even takes her time to send you text messages so you feel as ease if she is caring for them for a long period of time. We have known Karen for years and she has watched our dogs for over 6 years when we have medical appointments or if we just need a break from time to time.
