About Karen

I'm a lifelong animal and wildlife lover who has 'owned' lots of special cats, dogs, rabbits and other furry and feathered friends over the years. As an animal communicator and freelance professional writer, I am usually available at short notice for drop in visits for cats and/or dog walks with your beloved companion- I'm currently walking a lovely Schnoodle 5 days a week, which I really look forward to!

My own cat Chloe is 17 and has quite a few health issues, but never fails to amaze me and make me smile on a daily basis. She is the boss!

After an initial free 'meet & greet' for us all to get acquainted, I can do drop-in home visits, staying around 40 minutes (sometimes longer!) to feed, fuss, play and attend to your pet's needs, and to clean food dishes and litter trays, and to outdoor toilet and clean up for dogs etc.

I also offer half hour (I always do a bit longer!) dog walking sessions (plus feeding/watering etc). Ideally, I would be able to drive to yours (or walk if it is close to my house), park up, and walk your dog in the vicinity of your home, focusing on any parks nearby. For safety and security I won't let your dog off the lead. Please provide your dog's collar, lead, harness and poo bags etc.  

Depending on my schedule, I can also do longer dog walks/double slots.

I'm not currently able to host any animals in my own home, but would love to help care for yours- at yours- while you're at work or away. That way, you get to relax and I get to meet lots more amazing kitties, and also get lots of fresh air & exercise walking your dog. Whatever your cat-sitting or dog-walking requirements, please be assured that I will provide the same love, care and attention for your animal (and your home), as I do for my own.  

I am responsible and caring and am also DBS checked (2023).

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any queries, I can usually reply within the hour. 

 Thank you for considering me, it means a lot!

Specific Skills

I speak English & Italian
+20 years of experience
I've always had animals, especially cats. Even when I couldn't have my own dog due to my career & travelling etc, I always helped walk and look after other people's animals. I did lots of dog walking when I lived on a boat in a marina. More recently I have been talking dog walking & cat sitting commissions on two other pet sitting sites.
