Experienced, Loving Sitter

Pet care experience

I have been boarding and caring for dogs for 10 years now. I have always loved animals from a very young age. I enjoy getting to know dogs, each with their unique personality, as well as meeting their humans. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs with different temperaments, from laid back to high anxiety or anything in between! We live in an apartment, so we get out for lots of walks to nearby parks and trails. Safety is my number one goal, as well as making sure your pet feels safe, secure and well-loved. I live with my husband and one of my 3 sons, all of them dog-lovers, so there is a lot of love to go around when your special friend stays with us!

Karen was a fantastic host for my young and very active french bulldog. She took her out two or three times a day for long walks and even hikes to Lexington Resevoir, which was amazing. Karen is very friendly, confident in her business, and has extra help on hand (her two college age sons) if needed. Karen administered ear drops twice a day. She also sent me lots of pictures and updates for the 5 days Babka was with her. I am so pleased that I found Karen and definitely recommend her highly!!

I am happy to say I have found my forever 2nd for my dog when I am away. She cares for the dogs just like if they were hers. She up dated you with photos and messages. Very thankful. : )

Never fear when Karen is here. I cannot say enough good things about my dog staying with Karen and her family. There is always plenty of things to keep my dog entertained whether it is multiple walks or playing with other dogs at het house. There is plenty of room to have fun and never a worry about your dog getting enough activity or attention. You get daily updates with pictures of your special friend having a great time. I have used Karen on several occasions and have never worried for a moment about my dogs activity level or safety. You cannot go wrong with Karen, 5 star rating :)

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog has any special requirements to help him feel safe and comfortable on his stay away with us. Beyond that, I can only take dogs who are socialized with other dogs and potty trained.

A typical day

I find that most dogs do really well when they know what to expect. We walk at least twice a day, and more if your dog is active. In Los Gatos we are near many beautiful trails. Every day is structured with walks, meal times, rest times, and of course, cuddling times if your dog loves that!
