Pet care experience

Retired dog-lover ready to walk!

I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since age 15. I previously volunteered in the dog training school at the Humane Society in Minnesota, training puppies through adult dogs in basic skills. I have owned two large breed dogs into their senior years and currently have a pandemic pup who is now 6 years old. I will walk short and slow walks or energetic and longer walks as needed!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a smaller fenced yard and a 55 lb pup of my own. Most of her exercise is walking out in the neighborhood and if the dogs are good together we can all walk as a group. We previously had a second dog, a St Bernard, so our current pup is used to walking with other dogs.

I highly recommend Karen as a pet sitter. She has always loved animals and is compassionate, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, cats, horses- you name the animal! She treats my dogs with the same care, patience, and affection she would give her own. Karen is very responsible and understands how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. She has pets herself and knows what it’s like firsthand. Any pet would be lucky to have Karen looking after them!

I’m recently retired and have plenty of time now to help fellow dog owners with busy schedules keep their dogs exercised and happy. I walk daily and would love to have your pup join me.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I am experienced in giving oral and topical meds to dogs as required. If longer walks are needed to expel energy, let’s go!
