About Karen
Hi everyone. All animals are important to me. I’m sensitive to how animals are feeling which makes me more observant and in tune to an animals needs. I like to keep the environment they live in clean, while making sure they have the enrichment they need to keep them happy, both mentally and physically. I’ve been a nanny for over 20 years looking after my clients children and animals in their homes in Geelong, Melbourne and the UK. I have a beautiful dog and 4 amazing chickens, and a cat that I adopted from GAWS in 2222. I have experience with dogs, chickens, cats, budgies, guinea pigs and rabbits. I have a Certificate II in Animal Studies and have volunteered at the Geelong Animal welfare Society (GAWS) in the lost cats area and working with dogs in K9 social. I also have a good knowledge base of backyard chickens (including chicken health), so I’m keen to tend to your chickens (especially in the heat) in the ever increasingly popular pastime of chicken keeping when needed. I have experience with many breeds of dogs including Dachshunds, Jack Russell, Kelpies, Boxers, Greyhounds and German Shepherds.
I’m available to care for any of the above mentioned animals. I will come to your home and tend to any of your animals needs. I will also take care of small jobs in the home that you may need done eg bringing in the mail.

Karen has looked after our cats twice now and will always be first choice when we need a sitter. She is very attentive and cimmunicates well. Cats are happy and relaxed when we get home.
