About Karen

Hi there, I grew up on a farm. I've raised and cared for everything- from goldfish to baby birds, to goats. We always had cats AND dogs when I was growing up. In my professional life, I work as an executive assistant.

I had my own fluffy shadow - he's the cat you see in the pics. His name was Snoose Poose. Unfortunately, he died from a brain aneurism in his sleep suddenly on 2 January 2023. He was 14 years old. I miss him and having "animal energy" around the house terribly, but I'm not ready to have another pet just yet, so a friend suggested I become a part time pet sitter 🙂

🏡 I'd love to welcome your pet into my home. I have a very small apartment, with a rooftop view - where I feed the local pigeons. It's great 'cat TV'! It's on the fourth floor with steep stairs, so unfortunately not suitable for dogs that have mobility issues or are too big to be carried up the stairs (some have issues with the slippery paint on the steps)

🐈‍⬛ For cats, I have a litter-tray, very sunny spots for beds and a scratching cardboard tray. I can leave cupboards open so they can hide if they like while adjusting to the new space. I'm happy to have a video call with you to show you my place before we agree on a booking

🐕 For small dogs that need walkies, I live close to the a couple of off leash areas. I have to work from the office THREE days a week now 😔 so can usually only take dogs for long weekends as my office days are Tues-Thurs.

🐍 I am also open to welcoming exotic pets too, I've had limited experience with these (corn snake only) so I would need some guidance but I adore reptiles of all kinds.

⛑️ I have not administered anything more than pill-based medication to dogs and cats, but if your animal has special needs, I would be more than happy to work with you and learn their needs to ensure they remain happy and healthy while they stay with me.

❎ I never take more than one household's animals at a time - so don't worry, your pet(s) will never feel like they're at a kennel/cattery when they're with me!

✉️ Feel free to drop me a message with any questions you may have. I look forward to chatting with you and meeting your pet-baby!
