About Karen

Experience: 3 yrs

My passion for animal welfare drives me to provide dedicated, reliable care for your beloved companions. With three years of hands-on experience, I offer pet walking, transportation, training, and day care for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I hold a graduate degree, which has refined my ability to manage complex needs, including those of senior, young, special needs, and challenging pets. My approach centers on your pet's comfort and happiness, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I maintain strict adherence to dietary schedules and prioritize active play for high-energy breeds. In any emergency, I act with quick, responsible decision-making and clear communication. I truly cherish witnessing the unique quirks of every animal I meet. Providing you with total peace of mind while your best friend feels loved and secure is my greatest joy.

Karen was incredibly helpful when we needed last minute care for our cats while we were away. She was communicative and kept us up to date on how the cats were doing. We appreciated the peace of mind and her willingness to meet in person ahead of time.
