Pet care experience

I’ve been primary caretaker of our family’s dogs for the past 25 years and our latest lab passed away a year ago. Rather than get a new dog, I’ve decided to become a dog sitter and I am very interested in caring for your dog with the same love that I have given to my dogs. I miss walking my dog, and getting out in the neighborhood in all weather. I primarily work at home and love having a dog by my side.

Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! Our dogs received more attention and exercise than they ever get at home — which is truly saying something. We were away for over a week, and knowing our babies were in such loving, capable hands was an enormous relief. We couldn't recommend Karen more highly and will definitely be booking with her again!

We had a wonderful experience with Karen! She took such great care of our chocolate lab while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated—it was clear our girl was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Would recommend to anyone!

Karen is a true dog mom! She has raised and loved 3 chocolate labs and has also cared for my 2 chocolate fur babies. She loves to take them on long walks and swims, snuggles with them on the couch and is very attentive to their every need. I would highly recommend Karen as a loving and responsible pet caregiver.
