Big or small, we'll love them all

Pet care experience

I've been a dog and cat mommy my entire life. I currently have 4 dogs that my world revolves around. I used to be a vet tech so I am experienced with special diets, medications, and dogs of all ages. I am now a stay at home mom so I am available at all times. I have a lot of love to share with your furbabies. Your babies are welcome anywhere in the house as long as they get along with the other guests or they can have their own space if they want. They are welcome on the furniture and beds spread out all over the house as well as play with any of the scattered toys. You are also welcome to bring anything that your baby needs or wants that will make their stay better and more enjoyable. If desired updates and pictures can be sent to you via text.

Karen has taken care of my cat Boots and my dog Odie. They absolutely loved her. She was kind, considerate, lovable, and knowledgeable about both my pets. She got to know their likes and dislikes. What made them happy and she did everything she could to achieve that. When my Boots got diabetes she was wonderful and made me comfortable to take care of him with his shots and what to watch out for with his condition. You will be getting a wonderful person for humans and your furbabies.

Karen has watched my pets many times when I have gone away. They are always very happy to see her. Their exuberance always makes me feel confident that they are happy with her care. She has watched my dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, mice, and geckos. Yes, I have had a lot of animals, some at the same time. I have asked that she give the dogs, and cats medicine at times, and it was no problem for her to do that. She did it gladly. She is very sweet, and very easy to work with. The animals love being with her, so we love her as well. Thank you Karen for your years of helping me. Always a pleasure.

I have known Karen for many years and she has watched my cats and rabbit when I have been away. Whether it was a quick or an extended trip I have always returned to find them well taken care of. Karen is a true animal lover and will treat any pet as if it were her own.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences, all breeds are welcomed! If you can let me know your baby's temperament towards people, other dogs, and animals I can better accommodate their needs so their stay is more enjoyable and less stressful. Any medical concerns should also be provided as well as emergency contact info. All guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations for the protection of other guests.

A typical day

I have 2 fenced dog areas, one small potty spot and a larger area were they can run and play.
