Whiskered & wild Pet Care

why choose local, in-home petcare?

To your pet, traditional boarding facilities and kennels can feel loud, unfamiliar, and overwhelming. New surroundings, unfamiliar smells, disrupted routines, and separation from you can add on unnecessary stress while you’re away. That’s why we recommend in-home pet care. It helps your pet feel more comfortable by allowing them to stay in the place they know and love most: their own home. They can curl up in their favorite bed, enjoy walks in their own neighborhood, and maintain the familiar routines that help them feel safe and secure—all while you’re away. Because being away from you is enough of a change. Home is one comfort they shouldn't have to give up

The owner of Whiskered & Wild

About the owner

I started Whiskered & Wild to continue my lifelong dream of working with animals, giving back and helping my community. I have 10 years of experience as a pet sitter. I have always been driven by my passion for animals.

I built Whiskered & Wild Pet Care around what I would want from someone caring for my own pets: safety, reliability, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety always comes first, which is why I am Pet First Aid Certified through American red cross. I also use Tractive GPS trackers on my walking equipment for an added layer of security. In the unlikely event that a dog were to get loose while in my care, GPS tracking can help locate their current position and assist in quickly getting them safely home. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you confidence that your pet is protected every step of the way.

Karen has watched my cats on multiple occasions, including overnight care during a 4 day vacation, and she did an amazing job. My cats were well taken care of and they seemed a little sad when she left 😂. Would highly recommend!

Karen came over and babysat our dogs at our house while we were away on a family trip. She is very honest and trustworthy. She is amazing with all animals but she is exceptionally great with dogs. I most definitely recommend anyone who needs a dog sitter to choose her. You want to be disappointed!
