BUTLER'S PAWPY SITTERS

Pet care experience

Hello, thank you for considering me. I have always loved and had pets since I was a child. I have provided boarding for family and friends as well as clients over the years, and now I am retired and home all day to care for your pets full time. My children will be assisting and loving on your fur babies who will probably snuggle with them at night.

Karen is amazing. She provides a safe, enriching, loving environment for pets. Pet parents get frequent pictures and updates and even videos. We had no worries for the week Bree spent with Karen. Normally after a boarding stay, our dog can’t wait to get in the car to head home. This time, though she is glad to see us, I think she is missing all the fun adventures she had! We will definitely be using Karen again!!

Karen is an amazing dog sitter. She spent so much time with my babies. They loved her. She had great interaction with them and they felt right at home. She was my first try and now my forever dog sitter. I had no worries or stress while away. She updated me with a lot of pictures. Awesome sitter. I’m glad I found her.

Karen is great and takes good care of my fur baby. She keeps us updated with photos and texts. I never worry about Alfie in her care.

Karen, Barbara, and the girls were fantastic. We received daily updates/pictures of our fur baby and we could tell that he was having a great time. Thanks for taking such great care of Jaxson! We look forward to seeing you again in June.

Safety, trust & environment

Inside, I have leather couches, tile floors covered with soft, non-slip waterproof pads for your pups comfort. There are also teenagers awaiting the opportunity to snuggle with your fur baby. There is no area off limits here. I have one small and one large crate if you prefer your pet to be crated during the night, though. Outdoors, I have a large, grassy, fenced in backyard which provides plenty of shady playtime and exercise for your pet. The yard is treated professionally for fleas and mosquitoes. For the warmer summer months, I also have a covered patio with fan for the pups to still enjoy lounging outdoors in a cooler environment. I have balls, ropes, and frisbees for your fur babies entertainment, so no need to bring toys unless your baby has his/her own favorite ! To ensure no critters come in from outdoors, please pack your babies food in an airtight container. Don't forget the appropriate measuring cup for proper portions!

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

Although not necessary, I'm open to having a meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your fur baby in my hands and feel great about their living accommodations while you are away. Peace of mind is important while you are away handling business and even while on a vacation. When sending your request, please indicate whether you'd like me to book your fur babies stay, or schedule a meet and greet. Please let me know if your baby has any special needs or accommodations during his/her stay.

A typical day

I have two teens who love to run around and play with our fur babies. We have ropes, balls and frisbees for them to play with. We have frequent outdoor playtime and we often walk the neighborhood at night for a bit of extra exercise for the fur babies and humans alike! Please pack harnesses, as they allow for a more comfortable walking experience for those babies who like to pull when they see a squirrel!
