About My Business

As a foster volunteer for waggingtailsrescue.org in Las Vegas Nevada, I saw a need for a reliable, trustworthy, loving pet sitter, with a flexible schedule. I am that person.

I love all animals, I have successfully fostered 56 dogs and puppies who have found their Furever homes.

I'm confident in my ability to handle dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and various reptiles regardless of temperament.

Due to my age, I have realized If a dog is over 45 pounds, I would have trouble lifting them into my car if a medical emergency arises, therefore I have to limit pets to 40 pounds.

I am very healthy and active, love to throw frisbee's and balls for fetching. I am a detailed, organized person that takes pride in my ability to handle any situation.

I retired from the US Postal Service in Sidney Ohio, after 38 years of service, in order to move to Nevada to be near my almost 10 year old and 4 month old granddaughters and family.

I have several references upon request, I also have a current background check with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

I do not smoke, do drugs or drink alcohol.

I can visit your home every day of the week to take care of your furbabies anywhere from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.

My rates are $25 per hour counting 15 minute travel time so each visit will be 45 minutes. If your home is over 10 miles from my house, I also charge a 65¢ per mile additional fee over the initial 10 miles, per trip.

My goal is for you to have the best experience away from home as possible without worrying about the pets you love so much. Believe me, I've been there.

My dogs have never been to a boarding facility; I feel they are much better at home than being housed at a loud chaotic place they've never been, where they don't get nearly the attention they deserve.

If this would be your first experience with a pet sitter, I would come to your house to meet your pet first: I'd get all the details of likes, dislikes, medications and routines, this home visit is free of charge.

Feel free to call me with any questions.

What my clients say:

"Karen was wonderful with my senior Maltese, Nina. I contracted Karen re: a trip I was taking to Vegas, and we arranged to meet in the lobby of my hotel so Karen could spend a little time with Nina before the next evening when I had plans for dinner and a show. I knew immediately I had made a great choice in Karen. She kept in touch via texts and even pictures while I was out, and I came back to one happy, tired pupper! I highly recommend Karen to anyone living or vacationing in the Vegas / Henderson region. You will feel confident having someone with her knowledge, experience, and demeanor taking care of your fur baby(ies). "

—Julie Beebe

"Karen is an absolute life saver! She has watched my tabby cat multiple times while
I go on vacation and did an amazing job. She’s very sweet and attentive!! Karen sends videos everyday and not only feeds and does the litter boxes but stays and plays with my babygirl and gives her treats. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter while I go on trips and she is always available and will come whenever time of day you need. I feel so much better about going out of town knowing my baby is being loved and cared for. This is her calling! "

—Katie M

"We moved from Michigan to Nevada recently and were so thrilled (and lucky) to have found Karen to watch over our 3 rescue chihuahuas while we're away. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, kind, and most important of all, AMAZING with my dogs! She sends daily updates and videos, plays with and walks them. They were happy girls. I can’t recommend Karen enough!!"
