Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated and Honest.
*great references available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.* Hi there! I have been in the animal care business my whole life. Growing up on a ranch taught me a lot about horses, dogs, cats and the outdoors. I am very knowledgeable in terms of animal health and behavior. I have been entrusted with many great animals in my lifetime, and it's so rewarding to get to know each individual pet and their families. Having raised my own German Shepherds, I was able to apply and learn what I needed to create a good all around dog. My personal dogs have given me and edge in how I communicate with each dog that comes into my care. I understand all dogs are different and I like taking things slow, and building trust and confidence in the long run. I take pride in providing the greatest care to each individual pet. I have references for house/pet sitting, dog walks, basic dog grooming, Kennel Management, Dog Breeding, ranch caretaking, barn manager, foreman, assistant to horse trainer, from/horse care/feed/lay up. I also have background in House Cleaning, in home caregiving and Personal Assistant roles.

Ratings and reviews
Karen has been regularly walking our senior dog for a couple of weeks now. She has been amazing! She cares for him like he was hers and writes the sweetest and detailed reports of their time together.
Karen did a great job with my cat, I will be using her again.
Super reliable and flexible! Dogs love her. We're grateful!
Karen is a total rockstar. She is timely, has integrity, a great communicator, is fantastic with the dogs. They LOVE seeing here. She's ALL the things you want for your furry family. I'm so grateful for all she does for me and my doggos!
Karen was great. She arrived on time and was able to get our dog to warm up to her quickly. Would not hesitate to book her again.
Great having Karen house sitting my doggies, I truly appreciate her efforts making them feel comfortable and taken cared of

Schedule
I am accustomed to taking care of my own personal pets daily. I check their food/water in am and pm. and usually lunch time. I take them out for constant bathroom breaks, play time, exercise.

- I take any and all health concerns very seriously. I pay attention to detail and I take all food/dietary instructions to heart as I know how impactful this is to our pets well being. Whether is special food, or medication, I want to do my best to deliver reassurance to every pet owner that their pet is in great care.
