Cuddles, Belly Rubs, and Walks

Pet care experience

Dear Pet Lovers! I offer lots of individual attention for your sweet dog since I only take one small dog at a time (or two from the same family). Now retired, I live in a quiet condo area with enclosed 20 x 20 partially-covered courtyard and green commons for walks. Hanna Park is next door, intracoastal, and Austin dog park for optional field trips. Special attention, cuddles, belly/ear rubs, and brushing are all included! Special food needs are not a problem. I've been blessed with four great dogs as companions. My 15+ year old companion, Bingo, passed this spring - and I miss him dearly. Sitting for other sweet dogs will help fill the loss. Does your 'puppy' wanna come stay, play, and chill? We are looking forward to hearing from you for a weekend, or a week or more! PS Arrangements can be made for pick-up or drop-off if needed in North Beaches area.

Karen is loving and attentive to our Shih Tzu. It gives us great peace of mind to know he’s in such good hands when we’re traveling. I highly recommend her!

Karen was exceptional in taking care of our Shih Tzu which had not been left with anyone before. She took him for walks which he loves and adhered to his treat and feeding schedule which he was accustomed. She sent us texts and videos to keep us updated on his adventure with her. I highly recommend Karen!

Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog people and/or dog friendly? Shy? Food or toy possessive? What games does s/he like to play? Please have all shots up to date including kennel cough. For walks, flea and tick protection is a must even in winter. And of course, your pet needs to be potty trained for the great outdoors!

A typical day

walks, hang-out, sniff, and meet some of the good dogs in my neighborhood. We go out 4 times a day for a break. Afternoons include a field trip to one of our local parks and green spaces. Hanna Park, Dutton Island, Dutton Park, Jordan Park are all close! With permission, can visit the Austin small dog park.
