Information Karen C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog likes any specific kind of play and if they are friendly with other dogs. Also, if they like to follow particular routines and what words you use with them for behavior/commands. For instance, when I put my dog's leash on or am cleaning up his poop, I tell him to "wait".

A typical day

I love to play and engage with dogs physically and mentally. They need lots of love and attention to thrive! For a drop in and walk, I'll usually greet and play with your dog for a bit and then walk them around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. More play at home and some chewing on bones, etc. if they need that kind of stimulation.

Loving Dog Care when you need it

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, but raising our rescue dog for the last 5 years and managing his training and socialization has taught me a lot. Let me help care for your dog(s) and I will treat them like family.

Karen was great. I know she showed up as I requested and spent valuable with our dog, Sadie. I was able to spend my evening downtown having peace of mind knowing that Karen would see to it that Sadie was cared for in my absence. I definitely recommend Karen.
