Pet care experience

An ACTIVE pet Grandma!!❤️

I only watch ONE dog at a time (unless from the same family!) so that I can give your dog all the love and attention he/she deserves. I don't have any pups of my own so that if your dog is anxious or does not like to be around other dogs, they will be comfortable with me. I love to go on walks with dogs! I've had several dogs of my own and have been a dog grandma for many years as well as caring for neighbor's pets. My daughter is also a professional groomer so I am able to take your pup for a beauty day while you are away if you'd like!

Karen was wonderful taking care of Charlie for 2 weeks, the longest time I’ve ever left him. She kept me updated with texts & pictures frequently, which I appreciated. I felt very comfortable leaving Charlie with Karen, Charlie enjoyed it there as well. Would definitely recommend Karen, as she treats your pup like her own family member.

We love Karen and are thrilled whenever she is available to watch our Bella for us. She is absolutely wonderful and we know our baby is happy and well cared for while we have to be away.

Schedule

I am retired so able to have a very flexible schedule to take care of your 4 legged children whenever you need me. I tend to go for 2-3 walks daily (or more) and like to have a furry friend to chat with! I also will take only one dog at a time (multiples within the same family are great though!) in order to accommodate dogs that are anxious or stressed around other dogs. I love giving them one-on-one attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard overlooking a walking path so often my furry friend and I will sit outside and watch people! Depending on the pet, I will sometimes take them with me when I visit family.

A typical day

I love to exercise and will take your dog on several walks. We also have a dog park in my neighborhood so we will sometimes go there to socialize. Evenings, we will tend to cuddle on the couch and watch TV.
