Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

I am very interested in every aspect of the dogs and cats. I'd like to know as much as you can tell me. I really have no breed preference.

A typical day

I believe that your dog/cat is your pet. If you want me to come and snuggle with them, I will. If you want me to come and run your dog, I will. I enjoy hiking in the mountains and walking through neighborhoods. So where we are doesn't matter to me.

Pet care experience

I have worked in Veterinary Pet Hospitals as a technician. I worked for the Humane Society for 10 years. I've been a professional dog trainer for 15 years. I am involved in dog shows through agility and rally and obedience. I have five dogs and 2 cats of my own. I groom my own dogs and my friend's dogs. I have professional grade tools in order to complete grooms successfully. My background has provided me with knowledge of dogs behavior. I use this knowledge to have successful, fun grooms, walks and visits. I have owned jack Russel, Dobermans, Pointers, Siberian Huskies, poodles and every mix of dog you could imagine. Having worked for the Humane Society for so long you can imagine I've had every mix and special need dog in my house. I have also done foster care for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. I am familiar with most medications and how to administer them. Messes do not bother me ! Dogs are kind of my life! I am walking, training, showing and grooming full time. Weekends I am at the shows. When your pet is at my house, they will be treated as part of our pack❤️ When I am at your house, I will be clean and respectful. I look forward to meeting your furry friends!

Karen is wonderful! She made my little dog feel like part of her family. We couldn’t be more happier. Definitely recommend and will be bringing my dog back. Thank you!

No worries after meeting Karen. Medications and feeding updates made me feel Lulu was in great hands! Will try to get her back in the future.
