Karyn Dann

Pet Caretaker

Hi, I’m Karyn! I’ve been an Ashland resident for over 25 years, and animals have always been a central part of my life. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, and even hedgehogs — both in our home and through dedicated pet‑sitting work. Hands‑on experience has given me a strong understanding of how to support pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved.

Prior to my entry into high tech work, I used to work with my mom in her pet sitting venture based right in Ashland, and this taught me how crucial trust, communication, and consistency is in taking care of a person’s pet. As an Ashland Bark Park board member, I was among the main people behind the creation of the Ashland Bark Park - helping to create a safe and enriching space in town. 

I am also familiar with reinforcing basic training cues thanks to my exposure to professional dog‑training environments, so I am comfortable supporting routines requested to help maintain consistency while you’re away.
