4 Love of Dogs

Pet care experience

I love ALL dogs: Big or small; young or old; energetic or kick back; even special needs. Your dog will get an attentive and trustworthy playmate to keep them occupied while you are away. We will take many walks and trips to the dog park, hikes, beach and anywhere else they like to go. If your dog is timid and needs one-on-one care, I am open to that too. My best friend of 11 years was blind before he died and I still miss him. To fill the gap, I have fostered for Second Chance Dog Rescue and boarded dogs for Dogs on Deployment, which is an organization to help military personnel take care of their animals when deployed. I have had the distinct pleasure of taking a scared, street dog and helping him gain confidence and socialization so he could be adopted. I absolutely LOVE all animals. I am looking forward to making your"fur-babies" stay as wonderful an adventure as I hope your vacation is for you. Will you let me get "my dog fix"?? If you have more than 1 dog that live together, it would be my pleasure to stay with all of them.

Karen was great with our dog. He has separation anxiety, and she did a great job just being present with him, keeping him calm, and making sure he felt comfortable.

Karen once again cared for our two pups, Hank (Lab) and Gracee (Cairn) for over a week. She does an amazing job - took them to dog park and the beach. They are always happy and relaxed when we come home. She is the best.

Karen is a truly kind and gentle person, as well as a thorough, responsible (stay at home) dog sitter. Her frequent postings of our Ms. Kiko were comforting to see while away, knowing our pup was in such loving hands. All the fabulous walks our shepherd enjoyed with her were, no doubt, a big highlight for our sweet one. She is our first choice when we need this service.
