About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've had animals all my life. I've raised puppies and senior dogs as well as cats, hamsters, fish, turtles, etc... Yes, our house was a zoo, but I wouldn't want to have it any other way growing up. It taught me patience, compassion, and most importantly, a love for animals of all kinds. I was an elementary school teacher in FCPS for 23 years. I made a bold decision to turn the love I have for kids into animals. That is where my heart truly lies. I've had pets my whole life (5Oyrs)! After I got out of teaching, I had my own tutoring business and then turned to pet care. I started at a Pet Care and loved my job everyday! So, here I am! I love pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! All of my experiences, I believe, make me a great candidate for caring for your fur-babies!

Karen is responsive, dependable, and most of all my dog (who doesn’t like many people) really likes her and can’t wait to walk with her. I highly recommend Karen!
