Information Karen K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the age of your dog, your vet number insurance if possible and any special requirements that your dog may need.

A typical day

After breakfast I will take your dog for a walk for around an hour in the lovely and safe areas around where I live. Your dog will also have another afternoon walk. You choose the amount of exercise you want your dog to have. They can have more or less exercise depending on their needs. Your dog will be stimulated, have affection and be cared for. I can look after a dog which doesn't want to be left alone and I am happy for you dog to sleep in my bedroom if need be. Your wish is my command!

Pets

WFH. Loving, reliable, experienced.

Pet care experience

I love all dogs. Big, little, grumpy or happy! I've looked after dogs with various issues, and I have rescued a few of my own. A few years before I had my daughter, I puppy walked for the Guide Dogs and trained them in their first 10 months. I have also lots of experience with sight hounds having rescued greyhounds in the past. I have a whippet of my own who is happy with other dogs. I love to be surrounded by dogs so I can take two dogs at a time! If your dog barks a lot I will not be able to have it because I have to consider my neighbours. I will not take a larger strong dog which is not trained to walk on the lead either. ( I still want my arms to remain in their sockets)!!

Karen was brilliant with Bertie. He came home a very happy puppy having been well cared for whilst we were away. Thanks again Karen!

Karen looked after our two young Sprocker Spaniels for doggy day care. They were well looked after, loved, walked, given treats and came home very happy. Karen is very trustworthy and got a friend to help with a walk as they tend to pull quite strongly at times on the lead. She had a very safe and secure garden with great open spaces nearby.

Ellie was extremely well looked after with Karen! When we picked her up, she was happy and a little sleepy - perfect after we'd travelled home and were feeling a little sleepy ourselves! Thank you Karen - I'd happy use your services again and would recommend you to anyone!
