Pet care experience

Detail attentive dog lover

As an experienced dog sitter, I bring a deep love and understanding of dogs to every care routine. I’ve had three dogs of my own— a Pomeranian, a Yorkshire Terrier, and a Poodle— and successfully cared for them into their senior years, with one living to 16 and the other to 17. My experience has given me comprehensive knowledge of dog behavior, habitat needs, diet, and training. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages because I truly enjoy building bonds with every pup I care for. Whether your dog needs daily walks, special care, or just a loving environment, I’m here to provide them with the attention and support they deserve.

Excellent. Karen took time to find out about Star's needs and routine and made sure Star was looked after well. I was kept up to date with pictures and information throughout he stay. I've already booked Star in with Karen for my next break.

Karen is just amazing, I think stitch was particularly anxious but she dealt with him patiently, gently and went out her way to go fetch him bones to distract him, Karen took amazing care of him. She gave me updates and sent pictures.

Karen was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive throughout the stay. She took wonderful care of my senior dog, and I truly appreciated the regular updates. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and safe with her. Highly recommended!

A typical day

I would give my full attention to the doggie that I take care of, and include outdoor activities such as walkie and little games and throw and fetch, I prefer open communication beforehand to understand what’s to the dog liking.

It would be nice to know the dog personality, habit, what it likes and doesn’t etc , these kind of information are useful if you have not booked with me before.
