Pet care experience
K9 Karen
Reliable, Consistent, Professional, and full of LOVE for all creatures great and small - that's me! Your pooch deserves (and probably demands) the best while you are away, and you deserve peace of mind. I have been in the animal rescue world since I rescued my first dog 15 years ago. He was special needs, and truly special. He spawned my love and desire to care for these precious animals. I have been trained at a local shelter to walk dogs that have been through a lot of stressful situations, and I do so with the utmost care and compassion. I have taken and passed the Fear Free training sessions. We have welcomed dozens of fosters into our home to rehabilitate and get them available for adoption, using positive reinforcements. When you're here, you're family. We have always been a 2-dog household, but now are the home for one small princess. I am eager to give belly rubs, cuddles, walks, food and treats to your precious fur-baby! I might possibly love it more than they do! :)

Safety, trust & environment
TRUST - it is so important to feel and to know that your family is in good hands. Your pet is family, and I will do everything to make sure they are safe, having fun, and feel loved. I take a calm, attentive approach to caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I understand how to recognize the signs of stress in animals and always work to keep them comfortable and happy. I will stick to a schedule that works for your pet. I like to understand their likes and dislikes. If they need a 5 mile walk, then that is what we do. If they prefer a leisurely half-mile stroll, we’ll take it slow. Fetch, belly rubs, or cuddle time— no problem! If they are at my home, I have a completely fenced in yard, with reinforcements so if they're small, they cannot get under the fence. Inside the house, I have the ability to safely separate spaces inside my home with gates if needed. It is truly an honor for me to care for our companion animals.
Ratings and reviews
Karen was amazing with our dog Miley. She brought her own treats that Miley loved and was so caring and cautious with our dog. Karen made sure Miley felt safe and they had great playtime and walk. I highly recommend Karen to anyone reading this. A true dog lover and professional.
Karen played with my pup the entire time and even brought her treats and a new toy. Couldn’t have been better.
Your pup is in great hands with Karen! She is dedicated, conscientious, and will make sure your dog feels loved. Her reliability and genuine care provide complete peace of mind.
I am writing to highly recommend Karen Moriera as a dog walker and pet caretaker. I first met Karen three years ago when I moved to the area. Our very first interaction was sparked by her love for dogs — she saw me walking my Golden Retriever Melo and immediately stopped to connect. From that moment, I could see her genuine compassion for animals as well as people. Karen has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever known. She is gentle, reliable, and caring — qualities I have seen not only in how she interacts with animals, but also in how she cares for people, including her own mother. In addition, Karen has been actively involved with the SPCA and always volunteers her time in many places since the time I have known her, which further demonstrates her dedication to animal welfare and her hands-on experience with pets. I would trust Karen with any animal, including my own, without hesitation. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her as a caregiver, and I cannot recommend her strongly enough for this opportunity. Sincerely, Stacy McBride
