Pet care experience

fenced yard, away from town

I have had over 25 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, at one time I had 5 energetic medium dogs. I truly love all animals (with the exception of snakes and spiders) and would love to retire and devote all of my time to caring for pets. I was not able to have 2-legged children so my furbabies really are my babies. I work downtown Nashville during the week but am very flexible with breaks etc from my office so I am available for walking, feeding, and loving during the week as well as on weekends. I have a lot of patience for puppies and especially for older and special needs dogs. I currently only have one dog at home that would love some periodic company. He is a lab/basset mix and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

As long as I've known her she's loves and cares for any animal she meets. Dogs love her the instant they meet her. I would know I have a dog who is shy to anyone she meets but loved her the moment she met her. She will make sure any dog she meets is loved and taken care of.

Karen is literally the biggest dog lover I know. She shamelessly lets pups lick her face because she loves them that much! She has always taken excellent care of her own fur babies and spoils mine whenever she sees them. I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver!

Karen has always loved animals, dogs especially. I think she speaks dog :) I'd trust her with any animals I have. She looks out for their best interest and has been thru enough situations that she'd know what to do in most. If you'd have her care for your dog, you'd have no worries. If you have other animals along with the dogs, it would be more the better :)

Karen loves my basset hound Thelma. She is watching her for a whole week. I trust nobody but her to watch my best friend. Karen is patient and has the heart of a dog lover.

Karen cared for my 5 year-old Brittany for a week and I can not say enough kind words concerning Karen's professionalism and service. She has cared for many dogs and truly understands their wide range of personalities. She is a great handler and loving care giver and I could not recommend her enough.
