Dog Lover at Your Service!

I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a dog. I currently have a very loving Great Pyrenees. I lost my Cocker Spaniel last summer so I have room in my heart and home to help people out when they want to travel. I understand the delimma of owning a dog and getting away so rest assured, help is here! I have a beautiful hobby farm and your dog will enjoy sniffing around with my big girl, Bonnie!

Karen is outstanding and welcoming! Very lovely and safe farm for the dogs to enjoy during their time away. We set up and meet and greet the day before and everyone got along and bonded like instant best friends. Extremely kind and compassionate giving updates and photos of the fur babies having fun. Onsa was sad to leave after 4 days. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend using Karen’s home for pet sitting. We will only use her with entrusted care for our dog.

Hello Rover!! I have known Karen for approximately 6 years now, and she has always been a dog owner and has had multiple animals on her farm. I too am a dog owner and our dogs often play together. She’s a caring and compassionate person with a soft spot for animals. I can’t think of a more suitable person to watch my dog and she has many times. Karen is also a very responsible and credible person to invite into your home. She takes very good care of her beautiful home and I’m sure that she would be the same in yours. I would give Karen my highest recommendation to watch and care for your pets!! Mike J

I’ve known Karen for 45 years, and most of that time, dogs have been at the center of her life. She was the first in our crowd to get a dog, and of course the first to have two—her pups have always been like her kids. Karen’s love for animals is matched by her professionalism. Throughout her career she has been a consummate professional—highly responsible, dependable, and caring. Those same qualities shine through in the way she cares for dogs. Whether it’s her own or yours, you can trust that they’ll be safe, loved, and well cared for in her hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats dogs like family, while bringing the reliability and responsibility of a true professional, Karen is the one. Your pups will be in very good hands with her.

Safety, trust & environment

I am new to Rover but I have often cared for friends and family pets in my home. I am in a very rural area and my yard isn't fenced. But maybe, on a busy day, one car passes my house. I wouldn't let a dog unfamiliar with me or my home run lose, but rest assured, there is no where for them to go here. Your dog will be happy and well cared for in my home.

Pets

A typical day

My dog Bonnie will be happy to show your furry friend around my yard. Or, if you dog prefers, we can go for a walk or play a little catch. If your dog thinks sitting on my lap would be a fun activity, I am happy to accommodate!
