Information Karen J. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has special needs, I will need to know. The better I know your pet, the better. If your pet is frightened easily or special food needs will be good information to have. I look forward to caring for your pet.

A typical day

I love to take walks so your pet will get exercise. If your pet has favorite toys, please let me know. I will be happy to play ball or tug of war (gently). I love to make your pup feel happy and safe so he or she will get many rubs!

Karen is such a caring person and dog sitter! After our first meet and greet, I knew my dog, Max, would be in great hands and booked his stay. Shortly after that meeting, Max had a major change with his health requiring medication three times a day. Karen didn’t hesitate to keep the booking and even contacted me to see how he was doing before his stay. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Max always looked relaxed and happy. It was obvious how much he had bonded with Karen when we picked him up. She will take great care of your dog and love him like her own!

Maeve absolutely loved Karen for day care today, evident by her running all the way down the sidewalk into her arms this morning! Karen was attentive and sent lots of pictures, Maeve is looking forward to future day care!

Karen is a loving mother and grandmother. She has always treated her animals as one of her very dear family members. She is trustworthy and would always have your pet’s best interest at heart. I have trusted her many times to care after my own pooches. You cannot go wrong baby using her to care for your pet.
