About
Interestingly, despite being a lifelong cat enthusiast, my parents were not fond of pets, so my siblings and I were fortunate enough to have a succession of feline companions. It was during the Great Recession that I stumbled upon a job as a housekeeper for a family who were fervent dog devotees. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with their furry friends, who ended up being the inspiration behind my pet care business. Since 2009, I've been providing dog walking and pet sitting services in the SE Seattle areas. To expand my range of offerings, I underwent mentoring under a retired Vet Tech and am now skilled in administering various medications such as insulin injections, pills, subq fluids, ear and eye meds, and tube feedings. In addition to being insured through Pet Sitters Associates LLC and Rover, I am also certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.
My services cater to the Madison Park, Madrona, Seward Park, Columbia City, Lakewood, Mt. Baker, and Leschi neighborhoods, and include solo leash walks for dogs, drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and overnight pet sitting. I've dealt with an array of canine personalities - from playful puppies to gentle seniors, from energetic athletes to fervent retrievers and swimmers, and even an anxious rescue puppy who seemed to lack exposure to the outdoors. Regardless of their character, I tailor my activities to the specific needs of each dog and their owner.
I've also worked with an extensive range of cats - from timid and reclusive to bold and enthusiastic hunters, from sprightly juveniles to elderly seniors. I have adored them all.

For over two years now, Karen has been an absolute blessing. She has always been accommodating and flexible, even going so far as to cover my last-minute requests due to my work travel schedule. Additionally, she has been incredibly patient in building a relationship with my two timid cats and has won their affection, which is no small feat! Finally, Karen also periodically sends me pictures of my cats while I'm out of town, which allows me the pleasure of seeing them even when I'm not physically there with them.

While I was away, my significant other Susan informed me that Karen provided outstanding services. Our furry companions were thrilled to greet her every morning, and we intend to enlist her assistance again soon.

For over a year, Karen has been faithfully walking my dog on a daily basis and looking after my other pets - including my cat and chickens - when I'm out of town (which is pretty often). She is a reliable and trustworthy caretaker who truly loves and prioritizes the welfare of my animals. Karen goes above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction, taking my dog on unique adventures, offering new treats to my cat, and even supplying ideas to keep the chicken coop tidy. I wholeheartedly endorse her and cannot recommend her enough.

Seattle Tails Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Service is simply outstanding, and Karen is the main reason why. The comfort and wellbeing of my aging dog, Mason, are top priorities for me, and Karen's daily walks make a huge difference. With Mason at 14 years old, it's beneficial for him to have a mid-day break to get some fresh air and socialize a bit, and Karen is always attentive and caring towards him. She's also provided me with fantastic advice on how to maintain Mason's appetite and energy levels as he gets older. Overall, I cannot recommend Karen and her in-home pet services enough - she's a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients' furry friends.
