Pet care experience
I have had lots of experience taking care of strays and other dogs. I always wanted to own a rescue, but for now I take care of dogs as well as a variety of other species. As each dog has their own personality and temperament, I adjust how I approach them for each individual. Dogs that are more shy/nervous will require a one on one meet and greet for the dogs as opposed to a social dog park. My own dog is in trained in 4 sports and 4 languages. A dog that stays with me will play for hours on end. He stays under my control and is very obedient. While staying in my home, I will not allow leash pulling, biting, aggression, or any other behavioral issue and will work with not allowing that while they are under my care.
Reviews
Karen was amazing! She took great care of our fur baby and we are so grateful to have met her and her pup as well! She kept us updated with videos and pictures and we couldn’t be more happy with our choice. We will surely be keeping her as our go to sitter!
Lulu had a GREAT time with Karen and Bucho! Karen works with animals for her profession, so we felt at ease while we were out of town knowing our sweet pup was in such dedicated hands. Karen is the BEST! She's extremely knowledgeable and earnest. She also sent bunches of pictures and videos! We will be booking wither her again FOR SURE!
Bad part about leaving your Boxer with Karen is that he doesn’t want to come home. I swear he is in mourning since bringing him home. She supplied us with photos and it was good to see him so happy playing with her dog. We will be taking Beans back to Karen. Our thanks.
Karen was great. She was very clear about the dog sitting expectations from both sides. She offered to come to our home for a meet and greet prior to the sitting. She also provided our very active dog with lots of playing and excercising all while reinforcing good manners and dpggy obedience. JoJo our dog came back home happy and tired, which is good! I definitely recomend Karen!

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet
-----READ BEFORE REQUESTING----- Before choosing a dog to stay at my home, you need to know I have a 90lb Boxer mix. As boxers are, they are extremely hyperactive and love to play. A dog that is small, timid, shy, fearful, or not playful would not be a good fit for this home as they would be constantly pestered to be played with.The dog must also be comfortable with small rodents(specifically guinea pigs, rats, snakes, and bearded dragons). As of currently, I do not take any long haired or double coated dogs. ----- I require a meet and greet for all stays for I don't want to risk boarding a dog that is incompatible with mine. (repeat clients exempt) ---- I only allow dogs that are up to date on their shots and they okay with being left alone for a few hours because I do have another job in addition to Rover.
A typical day
Romp around in a backyard, go for long walks, hot days mean playing with the water hose, maybe some hiking
