Animals are my heart!

Pet care experience

My boyfriend and I have been pet sitting together for years now! We tag team so we can provide more services to people then if it were only one of us. Here’s a little about us… I have been working with animals for about 20yrs now in several different capacities. I am a licensed dog groomer, and I own my own dog/cat grooming salon in Pleasant Valley (I work Tueaday through Saturday from 8am-2pm), but have also worked as a vet tech and pet sitter for several years. I am also very comfortable administering any medications your pet may need. I’d be more then happy to provide you with several letters of recommendations. I’d love the opportunity to love on your fur babies while you’re away from home!! Whatever your needs are I’d be happy to help wether it is a walk around the block, some outdoor play time, a game of fetch, tug-o-war or just staying in to watch a movie and snuggle on the couch :) Please message me with any questions or concerns you may have! I’d be happy to answer them and put your mind at ease! Will has worked with animals since before he would walk. Growing up on a local dairy farm here in Pleasant Valley, he has been surrounded by all types of animals and has gained so much knowledge on how to care for them. From cows to cats, he’s done it all! Will has also worked with me at my shop for several years and through me has gained so much more insight on animal temperaments and their body language. Together I think we make a pretty great team. We hope to work with you soon!!

Karen was great. Flexible, friendly, responsive and sent pics of our dog, Lily, while we were away. Lily will definitely be staying with Karen again in the future.

Karen was excellent with jaxx, my puppy. Knowing it was my first time leaving my dog with anyone, she was very patient, and sent me many pictures and videos of him playing with other dogs. Definitely will be using Karen in the future. Jaxx misses them already!

Karen gave Omey a wonderful home while we were away. Her own 2 dogs were good playmates and her large fenced yard provided a perfect playground. Karen obviously loves animals and she gave Omey a comfortable and happy home-away-from-home. We - and Omey - would happily return to Karen.

Karen was great! The dogs were both well cared for and came home very happy. She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with their diet and pickup times. I will definitely leave my dogs with her again.

I have a fully fenced in yard for fun and safe outdoor play time! My home is very pet friendly and there is no where they can’t go and nothing they can’t snuggle on.

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything you think I should know about your pup and more. There isn’t anything I can’t handle but appreciate a heads up if you happen to have a pup that marks or suffers from incontinence issues. Are they afraid of thunder? Allergies? Runners? So on and so forth :)

A typical day

My dogs and any dogs in my care will have outdoor play time everyday. I also use snuffle mats and treat puzzles to stimulate their minds as well! We love enrichment activities in our home.
