Pet care experience

Love is a Four-Legged Word

"Until one has loved an animal...a part of one's soul remains unawakened." I have pet sat my friends, neighbors and relatives pets for most of my adult life; purely out of love. Now that I am retired....I want my new and existing clients to always feel comfortable and confident that I will take care of their pets as they do. My clients must submit proof that all required shots have been done to their pets.

Karen is very friendly our puppy loved her. She makes you feel as if we already know her. Whenever we’re in that area and need a pet sitter she will be number 1. Book her you will not be disappointed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 4.5 lb Teacup Yorkie. Her life has been full of dogs coming and going all her life. There is plenty of play time; and I follow all instructions given to me by the owners for the care of their pup while I'm in charge. They are ALWAYS leashed when I walk them. P.S. Sleeping in my bed is allowed.

Pets

A typical day

My Yorkie gets them going by bringing, then taking away her toys. If directed, they have their 1 to 2 meals per day, play and sleep until it's time to be walked. Walking is every 3 to 4 hours.

0 to 15 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Karen can host up to 3 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have sat for dogs with Seizures, Diabetes, Arthritis, Hot Spots, Heart Problems and Old Age. I have carried them up and down my stairs. My heart hurts when they hurt.
