Caring loving animal lover

Pet care experience

I have always had a dog since I was a child. As an adult I had/have cats and dogs. I am a responsible adult that took to being a foster mom for many small dog rescues. Such as Small Paws Bichon Rescue, Shih Tzu Furbaby Rescue, Just a Touch Rescue and my own group called KP Rescue & Rehoming. I had a blind poodle and a deaf cocker spaniel. I also had two Labradors and have experience with large breed dogs.

We repeatedly ask Karen to care for our toy poodles because we all love her!! We have peace of mind knowing she’s at our home and giving the pups the same love and attention we do! Karen is most highly recommended!!

Our toy poodles LOVED Karen and we loved the care and attention she gave to them. Karen understood we don’t separate from our pets often and was very patient with my over-protectiveness. We felt so reassured and had peace of mind during our travel, and now we all look forward to our next get-away so Karen can watch over our babeez. 10 Stars!!

Karen is just amazing with my senior beagle Sammy - he loves her! Miss Karen has sat with him several times now and I'm sooo happy we found her as she is a true GEM! I can be a bit of a overprotective parent honestly, but i feel so confident that my Sammy is in the best of care with Miss Karen and I highly recommend her service.
