Keeping your bestfriend happy :)

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. From chihuahuas, to pugs, to huskies and golden retrievers I've cared and loved them all. I'm very comfortable with friendly fur buddies and enjoy keeping them healthy and happy. I have cared for dogs with allergies and with strict food restrictions. I take their health very seriously and will always treat them as their owner would. I've been a pet owner myself for years, therefore, I know the love and protection every owner has for their bestfriend. I live in an apartment community with a small patio and lots of grass to walk furry friends. It's just my husband and I at home and we work together to care for your pup. If you are looking to board your pup please note that they will not be allowed on the bed, however the couch is available to them.

10/10 will definitely ask Karen and her husband to puppy-sit my precious pup for our future trips!!!! They were so kind and understanding of her weird lil quirks. They helped her adjust to a new environment patiently. I could tell that they truly treated her like family. I received updates and pictures without having to ask and that made me feel at ease while I was away. Thank you so much from all of us!!!!

Karen is such a wonderful pet sitter. I would highly recommend her and her husband to anyone and would absolutely book with her again. Her apartment was very dog friendly, and she went out of her way to make Cato comfortable. She was super responsive and very easy to work with. 5 stars!

Information Karen P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has ever been aggressive to a person or dog in the past. Also, if they have any diet restrictions or allergies. Lastly, if they do not like specific things such as collars vs harness etc...

A typical day

Have you been meaning to take your dog on a hike? that new dog park? But just don't have the time? Let me give them the outdoor experience they need to release their energy and find their new favorite place to run and play. I'm highly active therefore playing with your little or big dog for hours is my niche. Or if your dog enjoys belly rubs and trips to the pet store we can do that too! I can adapt to any activity your dog enjoys.
