I am an independent, gentle, reliable, animal-loving woman from Canada who travels to Whanganui frequently to visit my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. I have a dog back in Canada, and in the past have had cats, guinea pigs, and birds as pets. I love to travel, write, read. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

That reciprocity makes this whole thing so wonderful Thanks Karen and love from Jessie and Jock xxxx

They took to each other immediately and I was very comfortable leaving Hugo in Karen's care as I could see that Karen was a 'dog person'. Karen is calm and patient and has experience with rescue dogs. She also looked after my garden in terms of watering and kept the ... MORE

Thanks Susan! It was a great time.
Karen is a delightful person and a reliable sitter. Within a short space of time she managed to win over all four kitties. Communication was great and the house was well cared-for. I would happily invite Karen back again to stay.
