Karen is an AWESOME care giver! She is very loving and patient towards her animals. She is a very responsible pet owner. Having owned a very special beagle Lucy with seizures she loved so dearly and knew her inside and out. Was very alert anytime she started to not act like herself. Karen is very good at being aware when there is something off or wrong... She has patience because she rescued your lovely mutt Bella who was a shelter dog very scared of people and objects, Karen had the patience and encouragement so Bella would be confident and comfortable with her surroundings and strangers. Karen definitely talked Bella through the tough times. I would recommend her because she loves and cares for her animals like any wonderful mother with her kids.
