My experience

10+ years

I've been pet sitting for a living for nearly 11 years in Richmond, VA, and I also looked after friends' and coworkers' pets in New York City for several years before that when I worked in advertising & tech startups. I've also adopted and

Karen was an incredible Cat Sitter. She arrived two days before I left as her last set ended the day before needing to be here and I got a chance to know her

Karen did a great job looking after our cocker spaniel, Lola. She communicated well, kept us well informed on a daily basis, and left everything in good

It was great having Karen sit for Buddy. She did nearly 4 weeks and went above and beyond dog sitting duties ie helping me out by posting a package to me

Karen was fabulous to have stay at the house. She was so easy to get along with, such a pleasant character. Organising the stay was so easy and reassuring

Karen has been my pet and house sitter for the past several years, and has done an outstanding job managing all aspects of both jobs! My dog Charlie is my whole heart, and I never have any qualms about leaving him in the capable hands of Karen. Each day that Karen stays with Charlie, I receive a photo of Charlie (usually an action shot of him on their daily walk!) as well as an update on how Charlie is doing. Karen keeps Charlie safe, gives him his medication, makes sure he has his food and water, takes him on walks, plays with him, and overall treats him like he's priceless (which he is!). Karen also keeps the house in pristine condition, and leaves the house in much better condition than I leave it in! Karen is extremely organized with her calendar, and can tell me immediately if she is available on requested dog/house sitting days. I trust Karen wholeheartedly with Charlie and my home. If you want to feel completely at ease when you leave your pet and/or your home for any length of time, then Karen is who you need!

About Karen

While there are lots of things that I love to do, there's one thing that I love the most, and that's having animals to care for and love on. Whether the animals are my own pets or someone else's that I'm responsible for while they're away

Why I want to house sit

I'm so excited to combine my love of adventure & traveling with my love of taking care of animals by using the Trusted Housesitters platform. Going to beautiful parks/forests/beaches or exploring new neighborhoods is infinitely more fun
