Your dog will be part of our family

Pet care experience

I have 2 little boys at home with me that love to help me take care of animals. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have had and rescued animals for over 25 years. I am currently a dog walker. I have been there for over 3 years. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and will be loved and taken for nice long walks. I am able to pick up and drop off if it is needed. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog/animal lover all of my life. I have had dogs since I was 21 years old. I haven't been without a dog since. I worked at a kennel for 5 years and I am currently a dog walker, and I've been doing that for almost 5 years. I thoroughly love watching/walking dogs and I promise you will not regret using me as your pet caregiver! They will feel at home and treated as one of my own. Meet my pets I have a very sweet and loving older Golden Retriever and a 8 year old Corgi mix. They are both spayed females About my yard I have a small fenced yard, but have a very large common area for dogs that are ok of a leash, if they wanted to run and play.

Karen was great with my dog Ginger (lab). She communicated well, and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.
