I am the dog whisperer...

Pet care experience

Hi, thank you for looking into my profile! My name is Karen and I have been professionally pet sitting for 16 years. I was raised with dogs and cats my whole life (54 years) and started caring for animals in High School. I am insured, bonded and certified. I have experience in basic training and enjoy working with rescue dogs. I, myself, own 3 dogs and 2 cats (all rescue, except 1). I have literally been called "the dog whisperer", as I truly connect with animals on a level that only few people can. I treat my pets and all my clients animals as I would a someone's child, whether you have kids or not (I have 5), the bond with your dog/cat is indescribable!

Karen is amazing, I highly recommend her for all your dog caregiver needs. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and updates me when I’m not around which is always comforting. I look forward to the pictures she sends of my dogs enjoying their walks! Both Duke & Missy enjoy their time with Karen. Your dogs are in good hands with Karen and you will not be disappointed!

Karen and her business, Must Luv Dogs, has been taking great care of our Puggle, Niko, since we first got him 6 years ago. She walks him during the week, and Niko is always so happy to see Karen or one of her walkers since they treat him so well! When we go on vaca, we leave niko with Karen, and he always gets his own vacation. She’ll send us occasional videos of niko playing with the other dogs, and you can see he’s having a blast! Must Luv Dogs is very responsible, and always takes good care of Niko. As indicated in her company name, they truly love dogs, and highly recommend her for all dog walking needs as well as boarding.

I have used Karen Byrnes' services for dogwalking and dog sitting for over two years. Karen brings two decades of expertise in pet care and sitting and she is amazing. She deeply understands the language of dogs and relates to them in such a loving, understanding and caring way. My dog loves her and she speaks his language--it's a real gift. He's a senior rescue and comes with some baggage, but he responded to her gentle approach as soon as they met. She and her walkers are highly responsible, reliable and accountable. When I need dog sitting, she stays at the house which is more comforting for my dog and assures me that my home will be safe in my absence. I've used a lot of different dog walking/sitting services over the years and Karen is one of the best. You can feel assured that your dog is receiving thoughtful and conscientious care from a trusted and reliable provider.

Karen has been my loyal and trusted dog walker/sitter for the past 7 years. Not only does Emmitt wait anxiously at the door for her, he returns happier than when he left! She always uses good judgement when it comes to his care - too hot, too cold - never puts your pet at risk and reports back any details you may need to know. Its a comfort knowing when you leave your pet in Karen's care, she will always show up and you never have to worry about a thing.

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

I insist on a meet and greet with my dogs and (potentially) a "trial" at my house to make sure all are comfortable. I already have 3 dogs on my bed at night, so crate for bedtime is a plus! I do not crate during the day.

A typical day

I live in a community with lots of hiking trails and swimming opportunities, which all my "visitors" thoroughly enjoy! We usually take a 4-5 mike hike daily.
