Pet care experience
Hello! I Have always had a dog since I was around 6 years old. I was the kid that loved to be with my best dog friend. Over the years I had different dogs. My last dog passed away at the age of 18 and my heart was broken. A friend , got me interested in watching other people's dogs. It's been 4 years ago now and still love what I do. ****NO BIG DOGS- NO PUPPIES. NO PUDDLE PADS. DOG DIAPERS AT NIGHT ONLY OK FOR OLDER DOGS ONLY. DOGS WILL NEED TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. I HAVE LOTS OF BEDS OR YOU CAN BRING ONE. I try to keep the number of dogs , to 4 or under, so I can give them more attention... Just a few words to let you know that I will, more than likely spoil your dog. I love all animals, but by far a dog is and has always been my favorite. I will treat your dog as if it were mine. I have cared for dogs since I was about 4 yrs old. I do not currently have a dog, since my dog of 18 yrs passed away several years ago.(listing title was her name) I now have the opportunity to have many dogs in my life. My yard is completely fenced in and has 2 access doors from house to get outside. I do have a house alarm. If you normally crate your dog, for training etc, let me know. Dog must be outside potty trained. Dogs will have free run of house, except at night or if I have to run an errand. I use a few gates. If you just need a Saturday or Sunday or have a long day of events and don't want to leave your pet alone all day, call me. **I do require that all dogs are neutered/spayed when age appropriate. Also all dogs need to be up to date with their shots and house broken. ALL DOGS MUST BE ABLE TO BE GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS. Please bring a copy of your dogs shot records. MUST HAVE THE KENNEL COUGH SHOT (BOARDETELLA VACCINE) I am retired from the medical field. I love the out doors and walking the dogs. I also like to get on the floor and play with all the toys. My back yard is fenced . It has an upper and lower bar. We have 2 gates that have locks. I . always go out with the dogs, unless they have been here several times and just want to lay on the patio.
Reviews
My dog was shown around the home as if he was the "person" staying with her! He was much calmer and had a wagging tale while being toured. He would start shaking and whimpering, when we would drive up to the kennel were using. She sent pictures of him playing and running outside and one sleeping peacefully. We are super excited to have found Rover and Karen!!!! He lost weight last stay at the kennel, this stay with Karen he came back better than we left him. He was happy, energetic, and was the same weight as when we dropped him off at her home. Our dog is a people person and he loved his new people. We were able to fully relax while away and not worry about him. Thanks so very much!
Karen did a great job making Nikki feel at home. Nikki clearly likes her.
Karen is extremely friendly and provided a safe environment with lots of attention to our senior Italian greyhound Sophie. She sent us updates and really made the whole experience reassuring. Would definitely recommend her as a doggie caregiver. Cannot thank her enough.
Karen treated my dog like one of her own. My dog was so content with all the attention and rubs and hugs by Karen.
