Love to walk-hike-run

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all sizes. I do not have children under 12. I have worked with so many rescue dogs and all different types of behavior issues so it is not a problem if your dog jumps or barks or has aggressive tendencies. I have positive methods of dealing with negative behaviors so if you have a bit of a hyper pooch, then I am your person. I understand how important it is for dogs to have loving contact and exercise in order to be healthy and happy. I teach so I am off work and able to give extra time and care during peak vacation seasons. I will happily take pics and videos of your dog while out so you can share in the fun. I personally own a Newfie and a Terrier mix so dog size is seriously not a problem.

I was very pleased with Karen's work of taking care of my dog for 5 nights.

Karen was awesome with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. By the second day he was playing with her dogs. She gave him lots of attention and let him sleep next to her bed. Really appreciate it. Good 3 day prep for a longer stay next month.

Karen was the absolute best with Stella. She’s an older English mastiff who doesn’t see the best and Karen did everything to make sure she was comfortable and happy and sent tons of updates showing Stella having fun with Karen’s dog. 110% recommend booking with Karen and she’s going to be my go-to anytime I need Stella watched again!

She went out of her way to look after my dog extra and was very accommodating when the power went out at my house while I was out of town.

Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your dogs schedule, food preferences and toy preferences. Is your dog comfortable around other dogs? What makes your dog feel nervous or shy? Is your dog allowed to have treats, if so, what kind? I have no breed preferences. I love all breeds.

A typical day

Captain and I walk at 2-Rivers Park every morning. We walk at the Big Dam Bridge and the Arkansas Arboretum several times a week. I am very close to the dog park near the bridge So I go there often in off peak hours. I live in a very dog friendly community and we gather daily in the common area and allow our dogs to socialize.
