About this sitter

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, my name is Karen, from Canada. I am a very experienced house and pet sitter and dog trainer. I have always cared for, fostered and even trained animals and have a lot of experience house and pet-sitting dogs and cats, so you can be sure that your loved ones will be in good hands. I am proud of my great references from other house sitting platforms that I can provide to you.

I speak English, French and Spanish. I am a non smoker, mostly vegetarian, and will respect the dietary guidelines of your household, as well as the daily routine of your sweeties. I like doing yoga at home, hiking and exploring art food and culture while travelling while respecting the needs of my furry friends. I will maintain their schedule and routines and take good care of them as if they were my own giving them as much love, cuddles, belly rubs and playtime as they may want. I love having animals with me on sits, they make the best companions. I have taught English in various places around the world as well as volunteered. I am a non smoker and primarily vegetarian and will respect your dietary habits and your pet's daily routines as it is so very important for them.

As a pet owner who has traveled extensively, I know the stress that can come from having to leave your pet, I would give them all love, attention, cuddles and playtime they want in your absence, you can be sure your pets will be lovingly cared for as if they were my own.

I have traveled around the world volunteering, teaching and now caring for other people's homes and their most precious furry and non-furry friends. I am an animal lover and they love me. I have had animals befriend me all over the world even a wild Buffalo, quite an interesting story ;-).

I am a lover of the arts and music, a dancer, aspiring musician and writer. I speak English, French and am working on becoming fluent in Spanish. I would likely stay at the house a lot and write music and work on poetry so your pets will receive lots of loving attention and good company. If you have a piano, even better. I love the outdoors, exercise and do yoga daily at home so I am in very good shape and can take care of the most rigorous animals, or the daintiest of them. I also enjoy museums, cultural activities, hiking, fishing, canoeing and camping.

Why they want to house sit

I love traveling and love animals. We love taking care of animals while we travel, they make the best companions and it gives us a true sense of home. I can’t think of a better way to combine these two loves than to watch over the homes and pets of our clients.
