About Karen
Experience: 5 yrs
I am also a huge animal lover with both a dog and a cat at home. I have been a proud pet parent for the last 30 years! Additionally, I actually have several years of professional pet vacation care & dog walking experience.... For many years my best friend owned and operated a dogwalking & vacation animal care business in Chicago. I worked for 1 year as a part-time employee at my friend's company, doing both regular dogwalking jobs & the occasional vacation care for cats, birds & fish.... Plus, I was my friend's coverage for 2 to 4 weeks of her personal vacation time every year, covering all of her regular dog walking & pet care clients. I live in Elgin & I have no plans over the holidays, so please let me know if you are still looking for a pet sitter. Thank you for your time.
Most recent review
Karen has been a true asset to our family. She takes such loving care of our dogs and gets them things all on her own. She is very good, timely, professional and goes out of her way to help us out. She also does a lot of home projects for us and her skill set is impressive when it comes to doing work on construction type projects, etc. I highly recommend Karen
