About Karen

I got inspired out of a need to look for care for my own pets and realised that there is an urgent requirent for quality pet-sitting and quality pet caring in our community. 

I am experienced with both dogs and cats, having had both cats and dovs in the past and being a mum to Ragdolls at present.

I've had experience with nursing our now late geriatric Labrador back to health from a pro-lapsed disc surgery and a lipoma removal as well introducing our adopted Ragdolls into our home and to our late dog as an older cat.

Our late ginger tabby lead a very good and peaceful existence for 13 + years with our late Labrador.

Patience, love and consistency are my mottos for pet caring.

I would prefer to look after only vaccinated pets.

My real job is in Financial services with my days working from home 4 out of 5 days, but with my son now 21+ in University, my life is not so busy and it frees up my time to pursue things I love such as pet sitting/caring.

I am open to visiting, sitting your pets in your own home and ensuring they are fed, given fresh bowls of water, walked, played with, groomed where necessary and made to feel loved in your absence. 

My preference is also Inner City West around the Westerns Suburbs.
