My Story

My name is Karyn Doran, owner and sole operator of My Life Pet Sitting, LLC

I’m an esthetician with over 25 years of working in the beauty industry at a local Spa and Resort. My life in the beauty industry was glamourous and rewarding. My passion is caring for people and helping them to be beautiful, but working in the corporate world was truly unfulfilling on the inside.

Growing up in northern Michigan, my life was surrounded by nature, wildlife and a home filled with animals we rescued from injury and abandonment, as well as many family pets.

I moved to South Florida in 1984 to start a new life in the sunshine state. I met my husband Kevin in 2003, we both share a deep love for all animals, nature and Florida’s salt life. During our careers we struggled to plan a vacation knowing we had to find a pet sitter we could trust and rely on.

When Covid hit in March 2020, The Spa and Resort where I was employed for 25 years closed the doors for over 9 months. I used that time to follow through with a vision I’ve had for a long time. I wanted to help people alleviate the stress of going away for hours, days, or weeks at a time while away for work or on that special vacation. My goal is to provide you and your pets with premium care. My connection with people and deep love of animals was the perfect storm to launch my own pet sitting business that I could nurture and embrace. So, My Life Pet Sitting, LLC was born.

I have many long standing relationships with local vets, fostering facilities, pet food suppliers as well as emergency medical facilities. I am Pet Safety Certified and carry a current federal background check through Acutraq Screening. My highest priority for My Life Pet Sitting is to earn your trust and respect. My reward is to provide love and premium care for your pets. That’s My Life, and my promise to you!

My Husband Kevin has assisted me on occasion during after hour visits and is hands on with your pet. Kevin is a Florida native and through his family business and long standing career has many connections throughout Palm Beach County.
