About
As a domestic engineer and pet sitter I become an extension of the families I work for.
I have been pet/house sitting for 10 years. This allows the pet to n in their own environment, which decreases the stress and anxiety on the pet and their owners. I provide daily pictures of the pets to assure the owner that the pet/s are safe and happy. I also provide mail pick up (if requested), plant watering and most any other task needed to keep their home running on a daily basis. I also have experience with farm animals and carry liability insurance. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration Karen

Karen visited our cat twice daily while we were away from home. He was comfortable with her very quickly, and she took great care of him. She’s a cat whisperer!

I had trouble using Venmo to pay her. There are 2 Karen Kingslands - not knowing this, I paid the wrong one. I have not been able to get my money back!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not every job is the same. It is best that the customer and I meet to ensure and aqurate quote. That way we can customize the work sheet to meet the customers need.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first couple of times it may take a little longer to complete the job. I need to complete the job a couple of times in order to get the feel and flow of the home.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
