Why I want to house sit
As well as having an independent career as a writer/author, I also live an independent lifestyle overall. This includes traveling and living in different locations. Further, I have no dependents, so I'm free to go wherever life takes me. I love when it takes me into the lives of people like you who need a trustworthy, conscientious, thoughtful, and flexible home management expert and experienced pet lover to watch over your home and beloved pets. While you are vacationing or taking care of business away from home, you can rest assure that I will tend to your property and pets as well as if they were in your own hands.
My experience
“Karen sat for my dog Ralph a week this March (2017) and was everything I could've asked for. She was easy to communicate with, very polite, clean, and did a great job managing my rambunctious 2-year old lab. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an experienced house sitter!” – Aadam, Austin Texas

Karen and her precious dog Chloe spent two weeks in my home, caring for two dogs, one cat, and lots of plants during a brutal summer heat wave while I enjoyed Alaska. While we were gone, she periodically sent cute pictures of the animals, which I really appreciated. It helped put my mind at ease to know the fur babies were happy and healthy. When we returned, the animals were happy, the house was neat and clean, and she had managed to keep all the targeted plants alive, which was no easy feat. In addition, I think the dogs are better behaved than they were when we left. I would not hesitate to use her again and will gladly plan my next trip around her schedule of availability. On top of everything, when a package of frozen Alaska fish erroneously arrived on our doorstep instead of at a planned alternative location, she immediately contacted me for instructions. I am so grateful she was here and willing to rearrange my freezer to save the fish we caught! Great job, Karen!

Karen has taken care of my cats twice now. She loves animals and it shows. Karen communicates concerns without panic and takes care of everyday household matters. She communicates just the right amount to show me that the animals are happy and taken care of. She left the house spotless.

Karen was a very reliable and conscientious house sitter. She travelled with her sweet dog, Chloe, who got on well with my two cats. Karen contacted me on a regular basis to check in or to ask questions, but did not overdo the communication. When I returned, the house was lovely and clean and my cats seemed happy.
