Pet care experience
I’ve loved animals before I could even say the word! I specialize in terriers, as well as other small to medium dogs, and very much enjoy keeping up with their busy lifestyle. I am passionate and knowledgable about canine behavioral and emotional rehabilitation, and am not afraid to be nipped by a dog with high needs. I have raised puppies, worked with aggressive dogs, and have completed multiple canine obedience courses, including on and off leash training as well as behavior modification. As a seasoned science teacher I know that accountability, consistency, and compassion are key to having a healthy and happy critter, human or other animal. I will give your pet love and space to be themselves, or bounce their favorite toy down the hall as much as they’d like during our time together. I am reliable, punctual, and very much looking forward to meeting your fur babies! Though dogs are my #1 passion, I have a very green thumb, as well as experience owning/caring for birds, cats, fish, amphibians, rodents, and reptiles.
Reviews
We were so thankful Karen was available to watch our cats while we went out of town for 2 weeks! She does a wonderful job and we are so thankful we have someone taking care of them we can trust. We know they are in good hands when we go out of town!
Karen took very good care of our African Grey Apartot. She sang and talked to him and played music for him. Karen is very responsible and very dependable.
Karen is wonderful!
Karen does amazing with my picky Shiba Inu. She always makes me feel better about leaving my dog at home on trips. I'd recommend her to anyone!!
