LOVE DOGS - tell me what you need.

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life. Love them. In fact, being an artist/painter this led me to do commissioned oil paintings. I can't walk past a dog without reaching down to pet them. Traded care of dogs with friends and family. Adopted rescue dogs, and fostered dogs until they were ready to be put up for adoption. Yes, I had to keep the last one for myself! I prefer to stay at your home, however, if your dog travels easily, with your permission, I might bring him to my house. I can do additional services (not listed) including staying with children overnight. I am a UGA college grad, raised 2 well-mannered children, lived in the area for 40 years, worked as a residential designer for some major corporations and have been involved in the community. I enjoy earning extra income while I work on my own business. This will allow me to pursue my endeavors while I help you as you pursue yours! Try me out.

Karen J is a dog lover. She will make a great dog walker and anything else with your dog. She has been a friend & neighbor for many years of mine & has been our dog babysitter as well. Hire her ! You will not be disappointed. CE

I've known Karen for many years and as long as I've known her she has always LOVED dogs - and they love her. Her elderly dog, Reagan, passed away about a year ago and misses him so much that she will walk the neighbor's dog on her daily walks. As a friend Karen has proven to be reliable and faithful whether personal or business. I'm telling you, you couldn't find anyone that would make your pet feel more loved and cared for than Karen. FYI - Karen is an artist and has a business of painting pet portraits. She also donates the use of her artwork to benefit the Humane Society for their T-shirts and stuff. While Karen is building her pet art business, she is offering her pet/house sitting services. Her overnight services include bringing in the newspapers and mail . . . the tell-tell signs that you're away from home. If needed, she will also water your indoor plants, feed the fish and other daily tasks needed while you're away. This is just who Karen is, she would care for your pets and your home as if it were her own.

I can speak of Karen's abilities to connect with dogs firsthand because she has helped us on a number of occasions with our two dogs. They don't just like her ... they LOVE her and get so excited when she comes by to visit. She has been a 30+ year resident of the Murphy Candler Park community and is very well thought of by her neighbors through her kindness and compassion for humans as well. If you are looking for "peace of mind" when you are away, Karen's the one !!
