No breed preferences. But medium size breeds are the best for me. How often they need a walk, times they need to go outside, where they sleep,[I'm not at all opposed to them sleeping with me.] I'd like to know their routine and what you expect of me.

Pet care experience

What I've always said, "I hope I came back as a dog in my own home." Dogs and cats are apart of the family and should be treated as so. I'm here to cuddle, love, walk, feed and be a comfort to your animal while you are away. I"m retired now, so I'm around now to help in anyway I can.At this time I can do care in your home during the week and weekends.I can also do drop in care for cats to do their litter boxes and feed them. I happy to hang out and cuddle and love them too! Please feel free to call/email me with any questions. DOGS ARE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE! Thank you for your consideration, please feel free to ask me any questions.

Karen stayed at our home for 4 days and 3 nights with our 2 dogs. She was absolutely wonderful! She walked our dogs daily, fed them twice a day & played along with their daily rituals. She even sent pictures and texts every day that we were gone. We highly recommend Karen!!!

Karen took good care of our Lexi while we were out of town for a couple of days. When we met, I liked her instantly and given her professional/business background felt she would be reliable and responsible with our home and precious dog. She gave Lexi her eye drops every day (glaucoma) and kept her very clean. Her husband joined her in the evenings which was ok with us! Karen is very upbeat and communicative, would highly recommend Karen!

After meeting Karen I knew our experience was going to be a good one. We were only gone a couple of days but I felt confident my three cats would be well cared for and they were. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. Karen loves our dog as though it's her own. Great communication and regular pics shared. She has a flexible schedule to house sit at the same time. Thank you so much Karen!
