Information Karen G. would like to know about your pet

Are they house broken? Are they “barkers”? Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they enjoy walks? do they have a favorite toy? Etc. I’m happy to hear all about your dog(s)* and what they enjoy or dislike to ensure that they are completely at home with me. * I will only be taking one client at a time and up to 2 dogs per client.

A typical day

We can go for walks, play fetch or tug of war with their favorite toys. Or chill out on the couch if they just want to relax and enjoy a belly rub.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner in the past. More recently, I’ve fostered and re-homed over 30 shelter dogs and have dog-sat for family, neighbors and friends. I have cared for many types of dogs from puppyhood to senior dogs and some dogs had special needs. I currently do not have any pets of my own and would enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the attention they need or just play time or belly rubs. I enjoy walking, playing with and brushing them out to make them feel pampered too. Most dogs I’ve met enjoy cuddling up on the sofa with a blanket and napping as I watch a movie. I’m typically home full time and am very flexible with scheduling as I’ve been a dog owner and I know how life can be busy and unpredictable.

Was very happy to learn that Karen was still part of Rover. We used her twice last year when visiting Hilton Head and needed someone to watch Brandy during this trip. She is wonderful when caring Brandy. Lots of attention, toys, treats, walks and best of all -- photos! It's great to know that Karen continues to be there for us when we need her. Will definitely be using her again when we need quality care for our fur-baby.

Karen is the absolute best! I think if Tucker could talk he’d like to go back there for her excellent care, love, and pampering. She sent us the cutest photos all through the stay, she really captured his ridiculous personality. Thank you Karen and Ray!

Karen and Ray are amazing! We have a picky, difficult dog and they love him. He loves them! When we drop him off he runs in the house without a second glance. They send so many photos, feed and cuddle and walk and spoil him. Our biggest worry about travel is who will take care of Tucker, but with Karen and Ray it's not a worry. If anything, we have to work harder to live up to their level of care--they brought water to him so he didn't have to leave the couch :-)

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! Karen was so attentive and kept me updated with pictures and messages the whole time, which gave me total peace of mind. Most importantly, she made Dash feel right at home. You can tell she genuinely cares.
