Great with Anxious Dogs
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs since I was just out of college, many moons ago. I have lots of experience with anxious, small dogs - lots of snuggles and reassurance. I can give medications, both pills and injections. We go on lots of long walks and shorter potty breaks outside.
Reviews
It was our pups first stay with Karen, who took good care of him! Looking forward to using her again soon.
Karen is a great dog-sitter! She sent multiple pictures every day and took Peanut on long walks! Made me feel so much better about being away from my puppy!
Thank you so much for watching Zoey while I went to Italy! She loves Karen! 🫶🏼
Karen took great care of our dog. She sent daily photos while we were gone which I very much appreciated. When I asked questions (such as how my dog was adjusting, was she eating, etc), Karen was quick to respond. Would definitely book again and feel comfortable referring others to her.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have lots of dog beds and toys. We go on several walks each day. Dogs can sleep in the sunny spot near me or relax in another room. My teenagers are good with animals and are excited to help play with and take care of your dogs. My grumpy old chihuahua takes his job as guard dog very seriously. He will bark ferociously at human “intruders” until you leave and he may bite if approached. He’s fine with other dogs and cats though. For that reason I’ll most likely keep him in a separate room during drop off and pick up for everyone’s safety.

Information Karen L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to watch out for. Let me know if your dog will eat all the other pets’s food, so I can be sure to pick up uneaten food. Please let me know if your dog is working on house training and I will work on house training with your dog.
A typical day
We will go on at least one long walk around the neighborhood and several shorter walks per day. We will have play time and cuddle time.

Availability
I work from home most days, so am here to keep an eye on the pet interactions. We will go out for at least one longer walk per day and as many shorter walks around the yard as needed. My older chihuahua needs to go out frequently these days.
