About Karen

Hi there, I'd love to meet you and your pet! My friends take great delight in referring to me as a cat-lady or dog-woman... I've spent a lot of time fostering homeless animals while they wait patiently for FURever homes. I've also previously worked in a dog shelter so have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds and just love every one of them! 

I'm a qualified vet nurse with additional training in animal behaviour. I've completed 4 years of vet school and am more than capable of looking after furkids with special needs. 

I’ve previously run a home-based doggy daycare and dog boarding service in the city and locally in Exmouth. I am super excited to be able to once again extend my housesitting services to local pets and clients, caring for pets in their own homes.

I have a passion for helping dogs learn or maintain polite life skills while having fun. 

I've lived with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, fish and horses and would love to help keep your pets happy while you're away. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to know more.  

If you're curious why there aren't many photos on my page, I take many regular pics of pets while I'm pet-sitting and send them directly to my client's phones for updates while they're away, saves having to log-in while you're on holiday :)

Dogs are offered daily outdoor adventures each day; either with other canine friends if suitable (suitable for dog social, energetic dogs), or one-on-one with me for those pooches who prefer humans only. If your fur-friend is a little older or has special needs I adapt my services to include brain-games to help keep them stimulated if they're not able to enjoy as much exercise for any reason.

Looking forward to meeting you and your fur-babies :)
