I treat your baby like my baby!
Pet care experience
Dogs have been part of my life and family since I was a small child, and there has always been at least one in my home. I've cared for and raised puppies as young as 8 weeks until end of life care. I admit to spoiling them a little. My dogs are treated more like children than animals, although I do believe in positive discipline. I am a young retiree so my schedule is generally fairly flexible unless I'm out of town spoiling my two-legged grandchildren! Contact me with any questions, concerns, additional duties or special requests you may have. Overnight visits do not include full day time unless negotiated in advance. For 30-minute drop-in visits there is an additional fee of $1 per mile over 5 miles. When housesitting, I’m glad to bring in mail, water plants and even pick up poop! Hope to meet your baby soon.
Reviews
We had a great experience with Karen. I have one young dog and one senior dog, and they both loved her a lot. You could tell by their interaction that they had really enjoyed her stay. She was professional and responsive throughout her stay. I would highly recommend.
Karen was so accommodating. Grawr had a great time with Karen and her dog Kaylee, she's so cute!
About Karen K.
Communication
Skills
Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet
I'm comfortable with dogs who are initially a little shy and usually make friends quickly. I will not to keep aggressive dogs or biters.
A typical day
I like to play fetch, tug of war and also enjoy stimulating their minds with "find the reward" type games when they are allowed. Depending on the size of the dog I love cuddle and lap time. Weather permitting we go on walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks or beaches. I am a young retiree, so I am generally home most of the time. My goal is to stick to the dog's normal routine as much as possible.
