Pet care experience
Honest and reliable dog lover who can look after your dog and take them for lovely walks in the Rainham area. Plenty of parks and dog friendly areas near me where your dog can have a wonderful time. I grew up with a dog, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been taking dogs out and looking after dogs during the day for people as a hobby for the last few years but decided to take early retirement in March 2019 to do it on a more regular basis. Happy to give your dog a nice wash and brush up if they get muddy whilst out. They will get plenty of love and cuddles too. I do have a cat but although he’s out most of the time he doesn’t like barking dogs. My cat does like to sleep with me in my bedroom so I would prefer your dog stayed in my lounge at night. I prefer to only have one dog at a time but would make an exception of two if the dogs are small from the same family. I will except puppies providing they’re house trained. Please contact me so we can get to know each other and I can meet your dog and find out what they like to do. I’m home all day so I can care for your dog without any other commitments. Happy to walk your dog twice a day, I usually make the morning walk a longer one. I have a fenced in secure garden. My lounge has a baby gate so when looking after your dog they’ll stay with me and come and go to the garden when they need to.
Reviews
Reggie has just come back from a 10 day stay with Karen. We’ve never left him this long before so was always a worry he wouldn’t settle. But it’s safe to say he has had an amazing time. We received lots of pictures and updates from Karen, and Reggie looked so happy and relaxed! Thank you so so much for taking care of him! We will 100% use Karen again x
Karen did a lovely job looking after Eddie a 2 yr old Schnauzer for 11 nights. He was challenging but she dealt with his mischievous ways admirably. Thankyou Karen ? Would definitely recommend.
Karen looked after Toby for two nights at her home. Although Toby is an anxious dog, who was unsettled during the night, Karen was patient and considerate of his needs. Would highly recommend.
Both my dogs seemed to love Karen ,Karen showed great love and care for my youngest typsy who has mobility issues and needs carrying up steps ,they settled in well after the first few hours and Karen kept me updated with photos and messages whilst we were away ,I would highly recommend Karen

I have a fenced in back garden with no gates so your dog is fully secure. I’ll always keep a watch on your dog if it’s in my garden.
Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I live in a town house so my lounge is upstairs so if your dog has a problem with stairs it might not be ideal although I’m happy to carry smaller dogs up and down when needed.
A typical day
I have some nice dog walking places nearby depending on how far your dog likes to walk. Riverside Country Park, Cozenton Park, Rainham Rec, 2 orchards and plenty of housing estates to walk around. Bring your dogs favourite toys so we can play indoors and in the garden and a ball for the park if they like playing ball.
