WILL LOVE UR FURR- BABIES!
Pet care experience
I have have had dogs and horses all my life. I currently help with Rescue and Foster groups when needed. I am a foster failure myself with 3 of my 4 pups. I have a lot of experience with helping with our vets with the horses and dogs. We recently house sitted for a Foster Group that had 10, 5 week old puppies that was a lot of work but so rewarding with puppy breath. My teen son is 15 and an animal lover too. We are flexible to help you when you need to go out of town for a few days when needed. I have another teen son that stays at our home and takes care of our pups when we are needed else where. I work Monday-Friday but home by 5:30 most days. Can be flexible and work from home when needed as well. I can stay overnight at your home with your babies so they are not alone. Will play and treat your babies as my own. I am a great pet Auntie. I have a fence for my pups I have to keep my two boys separate so they get to come out in shift from their crates/rooms. The two girls like it because they get separate time with each boy. Their safety and health are so important to me. I have years experience working side by side with our vets in the field with our dogs and livestock so I have a lot of common sense and natural care taking ability. I can give medicines and doctor wounds as needed. I don't mind cleaning pens or crates as needed and can also do pet laundry as well. Whatever you or your furr-baby needs, I will be more than happy to do. I work most days until 5 or 5:30 but can work from home if need be so I can be available for your scheduled booking. I have a fenced yard for my 4 critters. I usually step outside with them so they feel more secure to do their business. I don't want them getting nervous that I will leave them outside for very long. I have experience with horses, cows, chickens - you name it, I probably have taken care of them on our Ranch growing up. Whatever you need, I can handle.
Reviews
Karen is fabulous! I was a bit nervous or okay a lot nervous leaving my girls! She did a fabulous job and sent lots of pictures and made me feel at ease that my girls were getting the love and attention they needed. I would definitely recommend her. And Paden is awesome too!! You can really tell they love animals. Will definitely use her again. 💚
Y'all, Karen is so great. She came for a pre sitting meet and greet with my 3 very energetic boxers and they LOVED HER! She immediately got to know their very different personalities and let them love on her. Unfortunately, our plans fell through and we didn't get to hire her, but we definitely will. Xena, Dozer and Tank and a LOT, but I know she'll be able to handle them a spoil them while we're gone.
Karen likes animals probably more than she likes most humans. She has always been a champion for rescuing dogs. She feels connected to all animals but especially dogs and horses. I would trust her with any animal of mine because she is responsible and respectful and will listen to the owners to ensure that all rules and boundaries are respected with regards to their feeding, meds, and exercise routines. She is a really caring person and will love your pet like it's her own.
Karen was wonderful! She took amazing care of our three dogs (including one that is a puppy) and cat. She left our house just as it was when we departed and kept us posted on all that was going on with the animals throughout our time away. We highly recommend Karen!

I will come to your home to sit for your babies so that they feel safe and comfy while you are away. They need to try to stay in a routine but be excited someone has come to visit them too. :)
Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet
Is there any signs I should look for if they are not feeling well or maybe just missing you? How do you feel about treats ? Any aggression I should know about?
A typical day
I love sitting outside with the dogs !! Throwing a ball or just cuddling. My dogs refuse to stay very long to take care of business unless I am out there with them. I think their anxiety of me closing the door and making them stay outside gets into their lil heads. If fetch or walking is what your babies need, I got their backs. :) I love to cuddle and watch movies so that can be our winding down time before bed.
