Dog Lover on the Run!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of several different breeds over the years including a rescue Belgian malinois (lol, everyone has their own special brand of crazy), three labs (my public school pups), and twin doxies (the private school pups), all with different needs (special diets, daily meds, post-op needs, schedules, etc.) and different expectations from their people. I love walking (and running, when appropriate) these babies because dogs NEED to get their legs stretched to tire out their minds. Aside from making sure dogs "G-O for a W-A-L-K" often, my first priority is to take care of dogs in the way their people want. It's your pup, and they live in your life. You have first and final say in how you want them to be cared for.
Reviews
Karen did a great job taking care of our pup while we were out of town! She did a great job communicating with me prior to her stay and during. She is so personable and I️ knew our dog was in great hands! I️ would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
Karen is always our "go-to" person to sit with our dog when we are out-of-town. He loves Karen. She has always been dependable and we can go on with our trips and not ever have to worry about what's going on with Si. We know he is taken care of and exercised. We highly recommend Karen to be a dog caregiver! Phyllis C.
We've used Karen in the past to pet sit and walk our shepherd and we were just thrilled with her work. She's very conscientious, trustworthy and dependable, to the point she house and pet sat for us on several occasions. Members of her immediate family have worked in the dog training business and this exposure shows itself in her handling and knowledge of dogs. Karen is also a marathon runner, and is a great walker for a dog who wants more than just a gentle stroll. We highly recommend her and your dog(s) will love her and thank you!

How does your dog react to strangers? Do they think they are the boss? How do they react to other dogs? Other animals? Are they leash-trained? All of these are good questions!
A typical day
We'll go walking either in the dog's neighborhood or at the nearest park. Does your dog have a ball or a rope? We are PLAYING.
