I have known Karen for many, many years. She has retired from a long professional career, owns and beautifully maintains her own home/grounds and has traveled extensively. She is very active and an avid skier and biker and just loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Her most recent pet was a border collie mix who was so doggone smart that she would challenge the most diligent dog owner. They had a long, loving relationship. I would “highly” recommend Karen to any individual who needed pet/house sitting services. She is the most trustworthy, responsible and caring person I know.

Why I want to house sit

I miss having a dog, which is why I signed up for Trusted House Sitters. I usually go away for two months in the winter, which is difficult if you have a dog. My first dog was Daisy, whom I got when I was eight. She lived through our…
