Information Karen C. would like to know about your pet

It's crucial for me to be aware of your dog's behaviors in advance. Ensuring everyone's safety and well-being is my top priority. Feel free to share any preferences you have for your dog.

A typical day

Exploring trails, leisurely neighborhood strolls, playing fetch, and enjoying fun commands – I'm up for it all. Expect plenty of pats, belly rubs, and engaging conversations. I'm open to cuddles and even some story reading; fingers crossed they enjoy adventure or action books. Ultimately, it's about enjoying each other's company.

5 Star Pet Care

Pet care experience

I'm passionate about pets. I firmly believe that animals surpass humans in many ways, and we're fortunate to share our lives with them. I've had dogs throughout my adult life, missing each one dearly when they've passed. I devoted years as a service dog volunteer and spent 2023 house-sitting and caring for various pets. From puppies to seniors needing medication, I have experience with them all.

Karen and Ken took such good care of Bowen while I was away. They kept me up to date on how he was doing and even sent pictures and videos of him settling in, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Karen and Ken as they were superb with my Bowen!

Karen and her husband are so lovely! They looked after our pup Lily with short notice on a weekend that we really needed help. Karen was very responsive to my messages when I was checking in. It was so nice to have peace of mind that Lily was with such caring people. Highly recommend!!
