Karen4Pups

I’ve had dogs my entire life with the last one crossing The Rainbow 🌈 Bridge late January 2025. I’ve had opportunities to watch neighbors and friends dogs, and I would like to care for your pup while you’re away from home. I work PT about 4-6 hours a day/four days a week. I’m experienced with bully breeds and smaller pups, too. For the “large” dogs, I’d like to keep the weight to 80#. If you have two dogs, if they’re both not “large”, let’s talk.

Karen was absolutely incredible while caring for my dog. He had an ear wound at the time, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving him—but she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, clean, and well cared for throughout his stay. She kept a close eye on him, handled everything with so much attention and compassion, and gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I’m so grateful for the extra effort she put in, especially given the circumstances. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind.

Karen is the most amazing pet lover! She took fabulous care of Emmie! We felt very confident in having her take care of our dog. They both hit it off when we first met! Daily we received a picture or a video complete with details about how well it was going! We highly recommend Karen! She included a sweet picture magnet of our dog for our fridge at home!

Karen is absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my senior chihuahua. My dog came home very happy and content after her stay with Karen. I received daily updates and photos while I was away on my trip, which helped give me reassurance and know she was was in the best of care. Karen went above and beyond in taking care of my pet, and even had a bow for her to wear on St. Patty's Day while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you so much!

Karen was wonderful! She took great care of Lucy. We received regular updates during our trip and I had 100% confidence that Lucy was not only being cared for but also being super spoiled. 😊 Will definitely use Karen again.

Safety, trust & environment

I own a townhouse with a fenced yard with a small grassy area and concrete patio. Pups are allowed in the house and on my bed when I’m home! Each dog has a unique personality and I respect that. If your pup is older or needs special care, I’m here - Karen4Pups

A typical day

I enjoy walking with pups out at Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge. If your pup needs to run, the dog park is the next option to release energy and get some socializing.

I’ve had four pit bulls over my life so I’m very familiar with the perception of the breed. Was raised with Dachshunds, too. If your pup has specific needs, give me a shout out and we’ll get that worked out
