Hello, my name is Karen and I'm new to Pittsburgh. I live in Shadyside in a house that has been converted into two apartments. We have a yard, although it's not fenced. I miss my family dog, but am not able to care full time for a dog of my own. I love going on walks and will shower your pup with love. I am responsible and really just looking to hang out with some dogs because pooches are so precious and I miss their energy. I am responsible and will treat your dog with the utmost care and compassion. I have potty trained a dog before so will have no issues with puppies. I would prefer to have a small group of clients that I continually work for. It is very important for me that your dog is comfortable with me and I will work with you to ensure that. I think routine is important and will try to adhere to your dog's routine to the best of my ability. I also will be sure that your dog is well taken care of, so no feeding him/her junk food and skipping walks and potty-time. I understand that dogs are not just pets but companions and I will do my best to care for your dog as you would yourself.
