About this sitter

I am a nurse practitioner and owned a home most of my life. I've had dogs and cats my entire life but since moving to Costa Rica decided to enjoy other people's pets. I moved to Costa Rica in October, 2020, and currently live in Grecia. I have my temporary residency and do not have to do border runs. I will care for your home and pets and you can be confident they will be well taken care of while you enjoy your time away. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, no drugs, and am in good physical health. I practice yoga and meditation and follow a plant based diet. I love the outdoors, boating, hiking, animals and exploring and promise your pets will be lovingly cared for while you are away.

Why they want to house sit

I feel that housesitting will provide a way to learn more about different areas in Costa Rica as well as give me the opportunity to see other areas of the world and experience new cultures. I want the opportunity and freedom to travel and explore new places and enjoy other people’s pets which allows me the flexibility to travel.

Their experience

I have been a homeower most of my life and refurbished the last three from top to bottom so am well versed in maintaining a home. I love gardening and growing my own vegetables. I have house and pet sit for many people including homeowners on Mindmyhouse but unfortunately Mindmyhouse did not give me the opportunity to give or receive reviews except for one. I do have references upon request.

What can they bring to the assignment

I have extensive experience and knowledge of keeping a house running smoothly and safely and you can be confident that your home is well taken care of while you are away. I can take care of small repairs and keep it clean, safe, do light gardening and take care of your pets and give them lots of loving attention. I am learning spanish and able get by with the help of google translate.

Testimonials

Above and beyond

Karen did an amazing job of taking care of all my fur babies. My senior dog Summer worried me before my trip, but with Karen’s loving care, she did just fine. All the animals appeared to be healthy and happy with I returned. Karen had to unexpectedly take care of a foster dog, and she handled that with grace. Karen had to make homemade dog food, and the dogs loved it. She even gave the dogs baths before I came home-much appreciated! Unfortunately, she had to deal with some house issues- leaking roof and malfunctioning air conditioners. She was calm and respectful. I’m really glad she stayed the whole time and not give up because of the problems. I totally recommend Karen, and I hope she will consider coming back. Muchas gracias Karen
