Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of anything that needs addressing, any special needs or attention. A text or email is fine or good old fashioned phone call. I would be happy to meet for the first visit or a note left on the counter works as well.

A typical day

Of course if there is no yard then we will start out the visit with a nice walk. If no walk is needed then we will play or just be available for love and attention.

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a little girl there have been dogs in the house. When I was a young woman in my 20’s I worked at a wildlife rehab center in the suburbs of Chicago (Willowbrook Wildlife Haven). During my marriage I fostered dogs for 5 years and we also had our own dogs, everything from a Beagle to a Collie to Golden Retrievers. I love bird watching, love Ornithology! My love of animals has apparently rubbed off onto my kids. One daughter has two cats and one dog and my other daughter rescued her dog two years ago. The saying of “Who Rescued Who” is very true since she needed some four legged love during her college life and her dog has truly bonded with her!

Karen was so friendly and great with our husky girl for the day! She looked like she made herself right at home. She was also so good about sending lots of photos and videos!

Karen is fantastic! She’s very kind and accommodating. She took wonderful care of my doodle Mango for an entire week. Mango and her golden Archie became fast friends and Mango was definitely sad to leave. We’d love to use her again!!!!
