Pet care experience
I grew up with boxers. I’m an experienced dog sitter, walker, feeder, bather and play mate. Nothing beats the unconditional love of an animal. I enjoy getting to know all breeds of dogs and cats and making them feel included and cared for. My family and I love playing games with them that are both mentally and physically stimulating. I am available full time and flexible with scheduling. I have experience in medication administration (including giving injections), wound care, first aid and CPR. My experience caring for bully/brachy dog breeds is extensive and I go above and beyond to accommodate, modify and put safety first for dogs with limitations while still making sure every dog has lots of fun! I am able to take dogs with special needs. I can accommodate homemade and raw diets. I love the outdoors and sharing adventures in nature with my own dogs and visitors. There are no children in my household and services aren’t limited to dogs/cats.
Reviews
My cat was diagnosed with diabetes this year and had never been boarded before. Because I was going to be traveling for the holiday, I wanted to find him somewhere that wouldn't be as stressful as a kennel. Karen did an AMAZING job with my cat. She was able to handle his dietary needs and injections. Will definitely be using her again if need be!
Karen and her daughter are wonderful people and have the perfect place and environment to keep your dog. every day I would get an update with a picture. I felt very comfortable while I was away in Florida that my dog was I’m not only being taken care of what was being loved. I would recommend them to anyone.
My husband and I recently spent a week in Jamaica, and wanted to ensure our young Keeshond, Maverick, stayed somewhere that truly put his needs first. Luckily for us, we found Karen. Karen truly has a way with dogs, and right from the get-go, made us feel so comfortable with Maverick staying in her home. She has a fantastic property for walking the dogs, and we knew Maverick would have a fun time. While we were away, we received plenty of updates showing us that Maverick was happy, healthy, and completely doted on – having a fantastic time with other dog buddies! Because of Karen’s wonderful standard of care, we were able to enjoy our trip with the peace of mind our fur baby was in the best hands. Thank you, Karen!
Great. Photos a few times, Peter seemed happy and have any issues.
