Pet care experience

Years of experience!

I am a professional handler and groomer. I have 5 years experience working at and managing a doggie daycare/boarding/training/grooming resort. I teach obedience classes and hold a puppy kindergarten class. I have owned multiple dogs and cats my whole life. I also have experience with lizards, bunnies, and other small critters My schedule is pretty open. Check my calendar for availability. I own a pet care busines, so this is what I do 7 days a week. I would consider myself to be a very responsible and trustworthy person. The safety and wellness of your pets are my #1 priority. I always make sure that all doors are closed and locked when coming and going and that all items that could potentially be of danger are away from reach. I own and operate a pet care business full time and offer a wide variety of services out of my home or I can travel to you. We are a very active family and enjoy getting outside. My 2 boys love to involved and are very gentle and playful. I take the dogs outside for frequent potty breaks and go for 2 long walks. One in the morning and one in the evening. I do enjoy taking the dogs to the state park if the weather is nice. I also have access to a doggy daycare after hours and take the dogs there so they can run and play for a few hours.

Karen provided exceptional care for my rescue dogs. She is trained and experienced in providing proper care for canines gained from multiple facets of her career. She understands that each dog has its own unique personality. She has knowledge of multiple breeds. She is also well versed of which canine products should be avoided that could harm your dogs. She understands your dogs are part of your family and they need love and protection.

A typical day

I am a very energetic person and love to participate in fun activities such as throwing ball, playing frisbee, or just sitting on the floor with K9 enrichment activities.

Please inform me of any special needs that your dog may have or any behaviors that I may need to know about. I'd like to know what his/her favorite activities are. Favorite food and treats. Things that he/she can or cannot have.
