Schmare Care: A Walkin’ the Bark
Pet care experience
We specialize in multi dog households. My husband and I grew up with dogs and are newly retired. We have over 40 years of combined experience and this is our retirement dream job! Our two labs, Buck and Jack, were the most selfless, loyal and protective companions. Combined with Popcorn, Jet, Pixie, Cuddles, Puddles, Bandit and Charlie Brown, there really isn’t much we haven’t seen or done. We understand it’s hard to be away from your baby - we’d be happy to be your eyes and ears (and feet!) when you need us. Let us know how we can help. We always begin with a Meet and Greet to make sure we are a good fit for you.
Reviews
Karen and Brian were amazing caring for our two doodles, including our special needs pup. They cared for them like their own. Thank you for taking such great care of them!!! 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience again with Karen and Brian! Reliable, kind, great communicators! We will use them again
A million thanks to Karen and Brian for walking our golden retriever Tess on New Year's Day! Tess looks forward to their arrival and relishes her walk around the neighborhood. We are grateful to know that she is in such good hands.
Karen and Brian T. went above and beyond to care for our golden retriever Tess when her parents had travel commitments for work. So grateful for their support and look forward to our next booking! Rebecca

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I recently retired from a company that provides support services to people with developmental disabilities. I have worked for church youth groups and as a paraprofessional helping elementary students struggling with math and reading. Trustworthy and experienced. We have been around dogs all of our lives. Caregiving has always been a part what we do. We have both worked with children, happily hosted dogs for out-of-town friends, and most recently moved in and cared for our elderly parents.
Information Karen & Brian T. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know of any behavioral issues and the general temperament of your dog. What are your dog's preferences and favorites? Any fears or stressors? For any higher-level needs, we would request a demonstration and written instructions.
A typical day
Our approach is built on trust, comfort, and companionship. We know health and safety are paramount to you - and it is also the same for us. We take daily walks and would love to bring your four-legged best friends along with us. Or stop by to help you with what your pet needs. Each time we visit, we will send photos documenting our time at your home. We are quite excited to now have the time to add some “grand” dogs to our lives!
