About Karen
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am also a huge animal lover with both a dog and a cat at home. I have been a proud pet parent for the last 30 years! Additionally, I actually have several years of professional pet vacation care & dog walking experience.... For many years my best friend owned and operated a dogwalking & vacation animal care business in Chicago. I worked for 1 year as a part-time employee at my friend's company, doing both regular dogwalking jobs & the occasional vacation care for cats, birds & fish.... Plus, I was my friend's coverage for 2 to 4 weeks of her personal vacation time every year, covering all of her regular dog walking & pet care clients. I live in Elgin & I have no plans over the holidays, so please let me know if you are still looking for a pet sitter. Thank you for your time.

Working with Karen was a pleasure and she was a nurturing & thoughtful caregiver to our 2 children. It was obvious Karen had a strong childhood education background & a great deal of previous experience working with children, but we were most impressed by the fact she seemed to enjoy working with kids - we believe Karen cared about our children and that she was committed to making a difference in our children's days & lives. Karen was always in good spirits and our kids were definitely crazy about her! In our experience working with Karen for over 6 months, she was reliable, responsible, respectful & trustworthy. I would highly recommend her as a nanny or babysitter.
