Information KAREN H. would like to know about your pet

What are your dog's fears? Are they thunder phobic? Do they chase wild life? Are they vaccinated? Do they have allergies? How are they around kids or older adults? Do they have recall? What commands do they react to? Are they shy? Have they bitten any care giver or dog walker?

A typical day

I already walk extensively with a high energy MinPin. We explore our community at least three times daily. Because of HER proclivity to kill any moving wild critter (MinPin's are renowned mousers), I am always on guard to keep her from getting to any of the dangerous creepy crawlies. Also notable, with all my 50+ years of experience, I'm a firm believer that LEASHED dogs are safe dogs. I also know how to keep your doggo safe from other doggos during our excursions. I am NOT that person that believes that all dogs can get along and I don't test them. I avoid conflict every time. Everyone wants to have a happy and healthy pupper and I'll do everything I can to deliver that to you.

SEASONED PET COMPANION

Pet care experience

I've cared for and have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and goats. I've been lucky enough to have raised three dogs from puppydom to senior pooches, all three living beyond 18. I currently share my home with a 13 years old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie. I couldn't imagine continuing on without a furry child in my life. They are central and that's how I feel about all my charges as well. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, tweens, teens, adults and senior dogos. Unfortunately, I can no longer work with bully breed or bully mixes.

Karen is very good with dogs and cats! Always on time, spend some extra time Walking and caring for all of her clients. She took great care of Rosie and Lucie several times when we went on vacation or we needed a dog walk. I highly recommend her!
