Your pet is my pet while with me!

Pet care experience

* Sorry, my lease does not permit Pittbulls, Rotties, dobermans or “bully breeds.” Large dogs must walk well on a leash. Hotel guests: let me care for your fur baby while you enjoy your visit to our beautiful city! Me: Pet lover since I can remember, dog owner for almost my entire life. My 15.8 year old Schnauzer recently went to heaven so no other pets in my home. I am well qualified to love and care for senior/unwell pets, experienced with medications, hand feeding, special needs dogs. Dogs will get three walks per day or more if needed. I am home most of the day with your dog. If I go to your home, I can care for cats as well. Puppies must be potty trained to be hosted. Kisses, hugs, cuddling, photos, videos, FaceTime if you wish! Vet references upon request. Your pet will be in great hands! Try me! This is a smoke, drug, alcohol free home! Dog stroller available for up to 30 pounds. Safety is my #1 priority! Will take multiple dogs if from the same family. It’s all in the details! Your dog isn’t eating, with your permission I will cook him/her something. My home is safe, windows closed according to size of dog, beds available if you cannot supply one, a variety of leashes in case you need, cloth wee wee pads if needed, bowls supplied if you choose not to bring. * Doggie day care rates will be the same as boarding if your baby is with me longer then 9 hours as I would not be able to board another dog. Thank you for your understanding ❤️! * I am not able to host “Stronger” breeds. Any dog over 45 pounds must walk well on a leash (no strong pulling). *Any home visits price will be based on distance. *Some doggie day care will be the same price as boarding depending on the hours. *All boarding visits will be charged for pick up day if pick up is past noon. I will be fair and pro rate to what I deem needed. (I only take one dog at a time so having a dog to a later time prohibits me another client.) Thank you in advance for understanding. * If my rating drops below 100%, it’s because I am contacted by people to care for breeds not permitted in my lease therefore I have to refuse.

We had the pleasure of meeting Karen on our long weekend getaway. She watched our daughters comfort dog while we enjoyed some of the sights in Savannah. Karen was amazing, our dog was well taken care of and she sent our daughter pics all day. We will definitely be using Karen the next time we come to Savannah. We highly recommend her! Thanks again!

Karen was an amazing dog sitter. I completely recommend her as she took great care of my dog Lukas. She was great at giving updates letting me know what was happening with Lukas and included pictures as well. I could tell Karen gave great attention to my dog as well as lots of love!

Karen was great. My little guy was a little nervous at first but Karen was able to settle him down and take him for a long walk...his favorite thing to do. Highly recommend her.

Karen was amazing with Fenway. If I could exceed 5 stars with her I would. Fenway immediately took to her and Karen could not have been kinder to Fenway. I will certainly use her the next time in Savannah!

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

If your dog will be staying in my space, they must be potty trained although I understand accidents may occur due to being in a new environment and/or nervous about being away from home. There may be a late fee if dog is picked up beyond the time discussed.

A typical day

I will take your dog on walks around historic Savannah. Forsyth park is around the block as well as some of the best squares in the city. Where ever dogs are permitted and owner will allow, I will take him/her with me. I recently lost my 15.8 year old dog who when everyplace with me. I have a stroller available for senior or pets that prefer not to walk long distances.
