Pet care experience
I have owned, loved and cared for dogs and cats my whole life! I have many years of experience with both, including senior ones. Our last very old kitty passed away in late 2017, preceded some years earlier by our old German Shepherd. Our home seemed way too quiet after that, so I set up this Rover profile in mid-2018 and have been increasingly busy ever since! I decided to try Dog Boarding first. A short while later, I added Drop-In Visit services, as I was missing kitty time! Interested in boarding? I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I walk or run 3+ miles every day, and enjoy having an assortment of exercise buddies! Our fully-fenced backyard has a medium height (42-inch high) white picket fence. It's a wonderful and safe place for dogs to play! I love to garden (no pesticides though), so dogs enjoy lots of supervised playtime outdoors. I love senior dogs, but should emphasize that our home does have a lot of stairs; we should talk if your pup(s) have mobility issues. Interested in Drop-In Visits? I limit my services to West Seattle clients because of the West Seattle Bridge closure. Because of COVID-19, I may need to decline some requests in higher-traffic locations (as our household is considered high-risk). Whether your pups or kitties stay here or I visit them in your home, they will be well taken care of, well-loved, exercised and played with!
Reviews
I’ve had Karen take care of my cat Millie multiple times when I’m traveling. Millie just loves Karen and I always know she is in good hands when I’m away. Millie doesn’t always love visitors but when Karen comes by she will lay on her lap and purr!!
Karen takes great care of Winston - he's never ready to come home!
Kiva had a wonderful time with Karen as always! She had some infection that Karen nursed back to great health with regular pills!! Thank you!!
Winston loves you - thanks for taking such great care of him!

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but I prefer dogs that get along with other dogs --- or would want to know that they don't ahead of time. I'd like to know your dog's vocabulary! What words does he/she know besides TREAT?
A typical day
I enjoy walks at Camp Long, Alki, Lincoln Park, the Westcrest off-leash dog park, and other favorite places in West Seattle!
