Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, double tall iron gates on driveway side and double tall iron door gates on side yard. Large front porch w/ rolling iron gate at top of stairs & an iron gate door at the bottom - no way a dog can escape out the front door. I never take guests to dog parks even if it’s ok w/ the owner. I can’t risk something happening to your fur baby do to someone else's negligence. Cushioned steps available for shorter pups to get on/off beds w/ us. I never feed dogs in the same space, it helps to make sure both are fed, some dogs graze and walk away and others eat anything they can. Even dogs that don’t typically show food aggression can become aggravated by this.

Information Karen D. would like to know about your pet
All I need to know is if your dog gets along well with other dogs, if they need specialized care such as medications, if they’re shy or insecure w/ new people. Just give me a heads up. Very little is a deal breaker with me other than aggression or severe destruction tendencies.
A typical day
Long walks in the neighborhood, fetch and playtime in the yard, car rides to the park (I never take guests off leash at Parks - even if you say it’s ok). When we’re home together I put thick clean towels on my bed & sofa & welcome them to sit where ever they like even after playing in the yard. I allow free rein at my home, we have pass through magnetic mesh screens on 2 of our back doors to yard - after a quick lesson on how they work they can let themselves in and out for play, fresh air, Sun bathing or potty breaks. I love to sleep with them unless of course they prefer their own bed or crate for night night??

Pet care experience
•I’m energetic/ fit and have walked and cared for all size breeds of dogs. I have a 50lb Pitbull mix named ‘Jetty Night’ who was a rescue has lived with an 8lb Shih Tzu “Alpha Girl” named ‘Jumper’ since Aug 2019 and they get along great together. •I love all breeds and they love me too. Pitty’s are nearest and dearest🤍and to me ‘The Sweetest Ever’. My recent experience boarding a Doberman was wonderful, and of course all the Doodle’s, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahua’s, Shih Tzu’s - even a Dalmatian and everything in between. •I’ve house sat for many including my employer (Several references available). •I am reliable, hardworking, dedicated, trustworthy, friendly, upbeat, loving, highly focused yet easy going. I give 100% in everything I do but when it comes to animals I give 1000%. I charge a little more than some, but NOT All, because I watch just one dog at a time unless from same family or friends that know each other to insure a stress free environment. You’ll never have to wonder how your baby is doing when I’m on the clock. I send 2-3 pic/video updates daily. •Just a short distance from LAX (15-20min SW) I look forward to meeting you and all of your beloved fur babies, cats too, thank you for your consideration. Karen😊🐾

Reviews
Karen was lovely and communicative, sent regular video updates, and Suri didn’t want to leave at first when we picked her up. Looking forward to asking Karen to board Suri next time!
Karen was super responsive and reliable! Will book again.
Karen was very nice and was a good communicator. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a safe yard. She was very flexible and easy to work with also. My dog seemed to have a great time with her and her dogs!
Sully had so much fun! Karen was very responsive during my travel and sent videos and pictures everyday
