About Karen

Hello thanks for dropping by, 

I am able to offer my home to small dogs or older calm bigger dogs 

 MUST be CAT FRIENDLY and social 

After gaining experience with dogs from pups to adults and dedicating more than 12yrs as a Foster Care Coordinator for a Rescue and fostering for more than 13yrs, a friend suggested I try Pet Sitting.

I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs including whelping and queening I was a Trainee Vet Nurse and have a certificate in the Fundimentals of Veterinary Nurses so I am confident and can administer both oral and subcutaneous medications

My husband and I are big animal lovers

I do have both dogs and cats of my own and have a good size secure yard, dogs are always kept inside when we are not home 

I am excited to be able to offer pet sitting and would love to look after your furkids whilst your away on business or holiday, long stay or short 

My dogs always sleep inside and I have plenty of dog beds to sleep on and there is always the couch and us!

Your furkids will be treated like they are part of my family if this sounds good to you then I would love to have your furkids come and stay with me.

Look forward to meeting you soon ..

Karen was fantastic lot deal with and looked after George very well. He clearly enjoyed his stay with Karen and was very calm and happy when we picked him up. Absolutely no concerns in highly recommending Karen.

Karen was the only one I looked at and from the Meet n Greet to when I picked up Brock it was seamless. Just me not being too tech savvy but I finally got there.

Karen has everything down pat and a true lover of animals. Thank you
