Karen is the only pet sitter I've ever met who genuinely cares about all dogs - not just her own. She will treat your dog as if it is her own and will either take your dog in, or go to your house as often as you want her to. She has cared for my dog when I am gone for the past few years and she is 100% reliable and dependable. She always goes above and beyond what you ask her to do. For example, once time when she came over to watch my dog, she noticed the smoke alarm was beeping, so she on her own found the batteries and replaced it for me. She also always makes sure everything around the house is clean and she cleans the sink and bowl, etc. She keeps everything really tidy and organized. My dog feels so comfortable with her and loves her. What's an added bonus is, Karen specializes in old dogs and dogs that need medical attention. My dog is old and Karen is such a natural with her and has a great natural instinct on her to care for her and make her comfortable and happy. She even gets my dog to eat really well, better than I do! I want Karen to come over once in a while just to keep my dog eating and doing good! We have had dogs for the past 30 or so years, and we have gone lots of dog sitters in IL and AZ, and we have never found anyone as great as Karen. I definitely recommend her to anybody! read more

Scott is an amazing pet care person. He took care of our puppy on a daily basis while his owner was in the hospital. He helped to train Aussie, and set up an area in the house to contain the puppy. Scott is so knowledgeable about dogs, he came in and had an immediate impact on Aussie for the better. Aussie loved him from the start! The name of his company couldn't be more spot on! He truly cares about you, the puppy, and your situation. He is so much more than just a dog walker. I highly recommend Scott for any of you pet care needs. read more

Karen is an excellent cat sitter! This was our first time using a cat sitter in Arizona and we found a great one! She took care of our little Daphne for a week while we were on vacation. She came twice a day and took real good care of her. Karen was very nice and came to our house before we left to get all the details of her routine. Karen would send us daily updates and pictures of Daphne letting us know everything was going good and she was OK. If you're ever in need of a pet sitter, we give Karen a most excellent recommendation. Thanks again Karen. read more

See all

Scott was excellent taking care of our kitties. He was very attentive to our needs, kind and gentle. He sent daily reports with photos of the kitties too. We are relieved that we found a reliable pet sitter that takes such good care. Thank you! read more

I can't say enough great things about Karen. When my cat had cancer and I was on the road, she came to my house and gave him his chemotherapy. She is trustworthy, reliable and dedicated to animals like no one else. I have 2 dogs now who love! love! spending the day at her place. She picks them up at my house in the morning and drops them home at night. She has sheep on her property and my Corgi can't get enough of playing with them. Karen loves animals so much and it shows in everything she does. My dogs have spent more than a week at a time with her while I travel and her prices are very reasonable. No cages! I love that they can spend the day playing in her yard. She also runs an amazing animal rescue for senior pets. She is the best. read more

We have been clients of Karen's since we moved to the Valley in 2008 and how lucky for us to know her. We travel to visit family and for work often and can honestly walk out of our door knowing our animals are in the very best care and never worry about their wellbeing. I love knowing a reliable, honest, caring person is coming to my home to take care of my cat and dogs. Karen has never disappointed us and always goes above and beyond her call of duty in my opinion. She has watered plants that were missed by landscapers, turned on lights to ensure our home looks occupied, rolled in a trash bin that was forgotten. She is irreplaceable to us and it is a privilege to know her. You will never find someone who loves your animals and cares for them more than Karen. read more

Karen is wonderful! First time Karen was pet sitting for us was back in April for a week. I wasn't sure what to expect because it was the first time we used a pet sitting service but I'm so glad we did! I love the fact that our dogs can be at home, be comfortable in their own environment and have someone come over to care for them vs having our dogs in a cage at a pet boarding place. Karen is easy to communicate with and is so sweet, nice and genuine. You can tell she truly loves dogs and it shows when she cared for our dogs while we were gone. We loved that she updated us everyday with the status of our pets and would send us photos of them. I highly recommend Karen and I've used her service again last month. read more

Karen is fantastic and I can't say enough good things about her. We met with Karen about eight months ago and she was very professional and organized. When we went on vacation again a couple weeks ago, it was extremely easy to schedule her to come back and she had everything meticulously documented. I was also very impressed with her knowledge and expertise and would recommend her to care for special needs pets without any doubts. She also sends daily updates with photos which was an added nice touch. read more

Truly one of our favorite people on the planet. We have 4 old, medically complicated animals - all are on meds or ointments or something, and one is incontinent. Inevitably when we go out of town something crazy happens, smoke alarm battery beeps, nose bleeds, medical emergencies where Karen is happy to whiz them off to the emergency vet for treatment, not to mention cleaning up after the incontinent one and even doing the dog laundry that comes from it..you will not find a kinder, more genuine sitter and person for that matter! She's 10 star in our book! read more

This was my first experience using a pet sitter and it could not have gone better. Karen is absolutely wonderful and a life saver! She has a special touch with animals and made the entire process comfortable and simple. I will be using her for all my future travels. read more

Karen was wonderful! I reached out to her with only a three days notice and she was very prompt in her response and we immediately set up a time for her to come over to my house to meet the cat. She took detailed instructions during our meeting in regards to food, medications, litter box, etc. You can tell that she LOVES animals. I received pictures and text updates while we were out of town, so I was never left wondering how my cat was doing. I will definitely be hiring Karen again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!!! read more

Karen has been my pet sitter for the past few years. I am out of state several times a year and she is always the one I go to to care for my little ones. My pets stay in my home and she will visit as often as I need her to. She genuinely loves and respects animals like few I have known. I highly recommend her, and her rates are very reasonable. read more

I would give more than FIVE STARS if I could. I needed to leave my "little one" for a few days. She is an older gal and I have NEVER left her anywhere. I was soooo scared, I did not want her locked in a cage and ignored. I want to give Karen a BIG "thumbs up" !! I called and met with her, I could tell her compassion and love for the animals she cares for. I saw where my "little one" would be taken care of. I left.. missing her, but was sure of her well being. I feel that Karen is a GREAT caretaker. If I do have to leave my little ones again .. I WILL call her again !! Thank You Soooooo Much For Your Care !!!! read more

Karen did an excellent job taking care of my 3 dogs (including my 16 yr old senior) while I was away on an extended weekend trip. She was organized and on time for every scheduled visit. She sent me pictures of the dogs every day which really helped put my mind at ease about having to leave them. I highly recommend Karen for pet sitting and I will definitely use her again! read more

HI, Karen is fabulous. She was my sons pet sitter until he moved and now I am using her. She really cares about the pets, is loving with them but most importantly she has integrity, she says what she will do, and does it! She took of my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I came home to happy pets, with clean water, a clean yard, and clean litter boxes. Karen, my son was right, you are amazing and our new pet sitter!!!!! read more

When our dog Lola was living with diabetes, my husband and I could never get away alone because we didn't know if anyone could manage her disease like we could. Then, we found Karen and everything changed. Karen not only knew how to take care of Lola and administer injections, but she was a pro! Her dog Mingus had suffered from diabetes for years and Karen knew exactly what to do. She also runs a shelter for senior citizen dogs, so she is very good overall at taking care of animals with special needs. Karen is currently our go-to person to pet sit our three little chihuhuas - Jack, Larry and Lucy. We never have to worry when we are on vacation because we know that Karen takes such great care of them. She keeps the crates open as an option for the dogs and only puts them in there for limited amounts of time, so your dogs get to feel like they are right at home. Karen's life is dedicated to dogs and you can see it. You will never find a person as special as Karen to take care of your little ones. She is truly an incredible person and we are lucky to have her as our pet sitter. read more
