Information Karen C. would like to know about your pet

How they react to strangers. When out on a walk, how does your dog react to other dogs, animals or other people? What is their potty and eating schedule?

A typical day

I would walk anywhere that the pet owner would request. I love to play ball, throw frisbees or just love on your dog. We have a big back yard for plenty of outdoor time.

Pets

I am a true animal lover!!

Pet care experience

I have owed, trained, cared for and loved dogs my whole life. I have experience with many breeds and have researched different breeds including their behaviors and how to care for them. I’ve read and implemented the skills I learned from a NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER book called TEAM DOG By Mike Ritland with my own dogs. It actually trained ME on how to communicate, being the leader, appropriately punish or reward and how to create a healthy environment for your dog. You wouldn’t be disappointed in hiring me! 😊 I have a big fenced in back yard, dog balls, frisbees and other toys. I love being outside with my dogs, throwing the ball or frisbee or just chilling outside. We also go on lots of walks., trying to get my 10,000 steps in 😜 and having a fur companion with me is exactly what I love!! 🦮 If your dog stays with me, they will get lots of playtime, lots of love, daily pictures and or videos and I will keep them on the same feeding schedule you have them on currently. Dogs usually sleep inside wherever they want, on the couch lol or on a dog bed or if the owner prefers, I have a crate. This is a small business for me and I take it very serious. Reach out to me if you have any questions, I would be honored to meet with you and your dog. Thank you for considering me and my family for your pets next “home away from home”. Karen

Karen watched our cat for 2.5 weeks while we were overseas for Christmas and did a fantastic job. We received regular updates and photos, communication was prompt, and our cat was clearly well cared for. Feeding, litter, and playtime were handled perfectly. We’ll absolutely book again—highly recommend!

Karen was so amazing with our young dog! We got daily updates and photos and she made us feel comfortable leaving him for his first time away from us. I ll def keep Karen in mind next time we travel
