Passionate pet lover

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was young. I grew up around many dogs and cats and have had pets of my own as an adult. Friends and family have relied on and trusted me to take care of their pets throughout the years. I have taken care of cats without teeth and elderly animals that need assistance. I only accept one client at a time, so your pet will be the only animal in my house during boarding. I also have experience taking care of multiple animals at once (for example, I’ve frequently house-sat for a friend with 4 cats and 2 dogs), so if you have more than one pet, I am comfortable with caring for them all. I will treat your pet with love and care because I genuinely love all animals, especially cats and dogs.

Karen is a find!! She is personable and truly cares about Faustus!! Faustus is a special dog that requires extra precautions and she did amazing! She took the time to read the manual I sent and followed it all! I received lots of updates and pictures! I came back from vacation to a happy and healthy dog! I highly recommend her and will be booking her whenever she is available. Thanks again for everything!<3

Karen is My dogʻs 2nd favorite person, (afte) me of course). When I drop her off she literally runs to the house. I trust Karen so much it’s a comfort to know she cares so much for my “baby”.

Karen took great care of our senior dog while we were on a 10-day trip. Her calm, gentle energy put Noe at ease, and her daily photo and video updates gave us peace of mind. Would definitely board Noe with Karen again. Thank you Karen!

I do not have any pets of my own. Pets can be in-doors with me all day, and I’m happy to take dogs on frequent walks throughout the day, as my job has flexible workday hours and I love to go outside during my breaks.

Information Karen E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs or preferences. I have experience accommodating animals who have disabilities, as the last pet I owned did not have any teeth and needed assistance with eating. Unfortunately, I will no longer be accepting new clients whose dogs use indoor absorbent pads. Dogs must be fully potty trained to use the bathroom outside. Also, dogs are more than welcome to be on the couch and on furniture, but I cannot allow them to sleep in bed with me. Dogs must be able to sleep on their own.

A typical day

I’m happy to take your dog to the dog park or the beach! I live in a neighborhood that is perfect for long dog walks.

I work from home full-time and live in a large house with my boyfriend. We have plenty of yard space and there is a nice park across the street from our home. In addition, we live within walking distance to Kahala Beach and Bark Park. I grew up in the house that I live in, so taking care of your pet will feel natural to me because it will bring back memories of when I took care of my childhood pets.
