Here to help with pet care needs!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since moving to Jersey City. My roommate of the last two years owns a lab mix that I would often care for on weeks that she was traveling and I frequently help out with my coworkers dogs in the area. Growing up all of my friends had pets and now friends and family can rely on me to puppy sit whenever needed!

Karen is amazing! So glad I found her. She took such good care of Reina on her walk and took her to the park to play! My smoke detector was going off in my apartment when she came (while I wasn’t home) and she went the extra mile by waiting around with Reina after it turned off to make sure all was good and she was safe to leave alone again. I really appreciated that! I will 100% use her again. Thanks Karen!

Karen was great. Was able to step in last minute and gave great updates on Finn's walk

Karen is great with pups. Very attentive, responsible, & my pup is always happy. She loves taking them for walks & keeping them active. Great attitude & overall love for dogs.

Karen is a very responsible individual. She has lived and helped take care of a dog that was not even her own for over a year. I definitely trust her with my two puppies. She is extremely loving and caring with every dog she meets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home the last two years Wesley, my rommates dog, was free to move about the house as he wished and when going outside we put him on a harness leash. Any special recommendations or communication to make you feel comfortable I am open to! I work for a chemical company so safety has always been a value of mine in all aspects of life!

Information Karen D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has certain tendencies, preferences, habits, or special treats! If they don't like other dogs / breeds I'll make sure we stay clear of any dog parks or areas with too many people.

A typical day

I'm an active person so if dogs are up for it we walk down to the waterfront otherwise I'm big on walking through Hamilton park near my apartment because it's very dog friendly and a great place to run around. There's also big and small dog parks!

I work full time but I work from home in Jersey city 2-3 a week given our flexible work from home schedule. As a project engineer I have a lot of flexibility with moving meetings around if given a day or two notice so I'm very open to mid day walks!
