Pet care experience

Animal lover tolerant to TX heat!

I have a wide range of experience with animals including training puppies, teaching dogs to run/walk on leash, and senior dog care and medication administration. I would be happy to come and sit and cuddle with your pooch after helping with potty breaks and feeding, or take them for a walk or run, or play fetch in the yard to stretch those legs. If you are near a park, I would also be happy to escort your furry friend there and spend some time exploring and playing!

On time, reliable and trustworthy. These are the things I want from anyone who is dealing with me & my household. I live near Houston, but I was leaving my dog with my son in Ft Worth while I was out of town for a month. Since I’m retired, my dog is not used to being alone for 8-10 hours a day so having Karen walk her in the mornings was perfect. I looked forward to the daily updates and pictures. Seeing my dog happy and tired definitely made me know I hired the right person. I would highly recommend Karen as a dog walker. I just wish she lived near me!

Thank you, Karen! I’m not sure who is happier right now, us or our zoo. It’s so hard leaving them behind. But allowing them to stay in their home, knowing that they are being well cared for, makes it so much easier. I can’t say thank you enough!

Karen is awesome. I have rebooked with her multiple times to walk my spunky black lab and she always took excellent care of her every time

Karen took great care of my energetic lab. She always gave detailed feedback about their walks and showed up on time. Halee was always excited to see her.

Karen was wonderful! She took great care of my energetic lab. She was super informative and gave detailed updates for each walk. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend Karen! Karen is absolutely wonderful with my two high‑energy girls, Rosie (Golden Retriever) and Annie (Boykin Spaniel). They light up every time they see her. She sends great photos, takes them on proper walks, and handles their energy with ease. Communication is always smooth, and she comes in and out of the house respectfully with zero issues. I trust her completely with my dogs — they’re happy, safe, and well cared for every time she’s here.

Please let me know any special needs or lovable quirks your dog may have. Anything you can let me know in advance like 'scared of cats', 'leash aggression', 'avid squirrel hunter', etc would be very helpful in order to optimize our experience and safety togehter.
