I'm retired, but I do some freelance writing work, which takes eight or nine hours a week. My writing never interferes with my focus on your fur baby. I walk every day in my beautiful neighborhood and would love to have your pet's company. My schedule is open. I go to Church on Sunday mornings, and feel free to reach out for more references to Mymemos. That is the Yahoo email address that I will respond to.

Safety, trust & environment
The meet-and-greet we do will be very thorough. I will ask lots of questions about your pet and take notes. I'll also want contact information for you, your vet, and a trusted friend. Once I have that information, your pet will be cared for like you were there. I'll show you where your pet will sleep if they are used to sleeping with mom and dad.

Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your dog's schedule. When we meet, I'll learn everything about your pet. I want them to know me as well. I also like to know their treat schedule so I don't overdo it. (I tend to give out treats.)
A typical day
Walks, toys, hugs, treats and cuddles. We may also watch a little Animal Planet. Dogs want to know they are loved when mom and dad are out, and I'm there to do just that. Your pet will be in good hands. The fur babies I watch are always happy to see mom and dad but are always happy to come back and stay with me. I give them their personalized toy on day two, so they have something new to play with.

Pet care experience
I'd love to be your professional pet sitter! When I'm with your fur baby, they are my full-time concern. I'll send you pictures of your happy pet while you are away. I know how animals miss their human, and I do everything I can to make their stay-cation with me enjoyable while you are away from home. My clients refer to my home as the Petz Carleton. It's my pleasure to care for them. Each of my clients goes home with a personalized toy.
Reviews
From the very beginning, I felt completely confident leaving Dexter with Karen. She immediately put me at ease, and I trusted her to care for him just as lovingly and attentively as I would. Dexter had an amazing time, and I’m so grateful we found Karen. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Karen took great care of our dog in our home. She was so attentive to details in what our dog would need to be comfortable and left our home in tidy condition.
Karen did an excellent job caring for our old fur babies. She sent us pictures & updates of how they were doing all week. My house was immaculate when I got home too. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much for caring for them and keeping them so happy.
Karen is wonderful! When she watches our boys ( two small older dogs), she takes exceptional care of them. They get excited just to hear she is coming to watch them. Karen also waters my plants & keeps my outdoor bird feeders full and I always come home to a clean house. The boys miss her when she leaves- we just love her.
