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 during 2025-26 Winter, 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 lovers too, so he may lend a hand with puppy love, and give lots of puppy butt scratches too.

Boarding • Mar 19, 2026

Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!

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.

A typical day

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.
