Pet care experience

Pets know pet lovers!

I’ve had multiple dogs as a kid growing up, as well as dog sitting for others’ since before I was 10. Dogs love play time with me! I’ll make sure to give them all the love and attention they need, as well as let them get rid of some energy while walking, running, playing and making potty time fun! I am available and I’ll have plenty of time to walk or pet sit your fur balls! I’d love the opportunity to Meet & Greet with you and your pet(s) and see if we fit! I live in Minturn, between Avon and Vail, so I have plenty of space and parks near by and a safe by to go on adventures. My boyfriend is a pet lover too, so he may lend a hand with puppy love, and give lots of puppy butt scratches too.

Karen was great with my 1 year old bernedoodle. She is very responsible, an excellent communicator and she got the dog good exercise and outdoor time.

Loved having Karen watch my pup while we were getting married in Vail! We didn’t do a meet and greet, but my pup warmed up to her right away and I felt at ease. Thanks again!

Karen was amazing and our dog just loved her! We had some time to kill before a wedding and were able to pick him up and take him for a hike. When we went back to drop him back off after our hike, our dog was genuinely happy to see her, it was great. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Super cool and great experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own, with safety, comfort, and routine as top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s normal schedule. I provide regular updates and communicate promptly if anything unusual comes up, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I live in Minturn, so we have plenty of space for hikes and parks to run and walk around. It’s a friendly dog-town, and Locals have friendly pets as well.
