Home all day-big home, big yard

Pet care experience

I have been a nanny for the past 13 years and now that all 3 boys are in school full-time during the day I am looking to supplement my income to add to my retirement savings. I grew up with big dogs (golden retrievers and collies) and have even trained them. My mom has 2 small Shih Tzu's that I love dearly also. Animals are a part of the family and they should be treated that way. I will take care of and love your pets while you are away and I am a very affectionate person and will give your pet a lot of physical attention. I am very flexible with my schedule so please call me with any questions you may have. Thanks!

Karen has been a trusted caregiver for our family for over 13 years. While our non-human members are limited to fish and more recently a parakeet, Karen has had care of my most precious family members: my three sons. She has been with us since the oldest was an infant and I trust her implicitly with their care. She grew up in a family with various pets and understands the care they need.

I have never administered injected medications to animals but I would be happy to learn.

A typical day

We live a block away from a dog park near a park department building so that is where I would take dogs if they are the social type. Also, throwing a tennis ball works well most of the time.
