I have taken care of dogs for many years. I currently have 2 dogs. One is diabetic so I have plenty of experience at giving shots. I am a certified pet sitter and also recently passed a pet CPR certification.

Karen was wonderful with Angus she took him swimming every day. He was a happy boy. When Mark went to fetch him he was pleased to see him but would have been quite happy to stay with Karen!

Karen was amazing. Our dog is quite old and requires some patience and twice daily medication administration. We love him like every member of our family and worry about leaving him with others. Karen provided daily updates, pictures, and videos that helped alleviate our worries and so we could attend to our responsibilities out of state. We so appreciate Karen for he kind, loving care of Cash and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to care for their pet while away.

Schedule

I recently retired, so would have plenty of time to hang out with your pet. Walking them, playing with them, all brings joy to me and therefore happiness to the pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in large back yard and two dogs at home that are very good with other dogs, if you opt to have me watch them at my house. Your pet will be very comfortable and happy! I can also care for pets in your home, just need a break to come home and give my dog her insulin shots every 12 hours.

Pets

A typical day

I can take your dogs to the Jupiter Dog Beach, if desired. I have a dog seat belt in the back of my car, ready to go. Or we can go to various nearby parks. I have plenty of dog toys here at my house, also. I love to walk so that would be a top activity.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or any triggers in their behavior so i can be aware. Also let me know about their temperment on the leash, so we can steer clear of any other dogs when walking or playing on the beach.
