Responsible and caring❤️

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 a wonderful pet sitter! She watched our kitties while we were out of the country for two weeks, and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was being so caring with our cats. Everything with clean, the kitties were happy, the pictures we received were very thoughtful, and she was excellent with communication. We highly recommend booking Karen for your pets!

Karen was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job watching over our kitties while we were out if town. I will 100% book her again in the future! I felt very comforted by her messages and pictures of the kitties during her visits!

Karen did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 senior dogs while we were away. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated her communication to let us know how the dogs did during their drop in visits. We came home to happy dogs so I know they were well taken care of. We would definitely book Karen again and recommend her.

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.
