Experienced Professional Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I have owned dogs and cats all my life, and about a year ago I began professionally walking dogs. I have over 500 walks under my belt with 5 star ratings. I have walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and training levels. From Great Danes and Mastiffs down to tiny puppies. I can handle the pullers, untrained young dogs, and those that just want to sit and sniff the bushes all day. I love dogs and they all seem to love me as well! When I am with your dog my aim is to give them a safe, but fun escape from the house either with a nice long walk, a rousing game of catch or maybe even both! I treat my clients like my own dogs, like you would treat your dogs. Some of my reviews from other services can be found in my photo gallery. While these reviews show how happy PEOPLE have been with my above and beyond style, to me the real reviews come from the dogs! Doing on demand dog walking requires the ability to walk into a house with a dog you have never met and make them your friend, pretty much instantly, so I also included pics of my happy customers in the picture gallery. I am available afternoons and evenings, starting 1-2 pm, until 10- 11 PM.
Reviews
Karen was great- immediately responded to us when family emergency made it impossible to walk our dog. Baba very shy with strangers and warmed up to Karen immediately. Could not have been happier and will look to Karen in the future when we need a walker.
I have a 16 year old Doxie named Rizzo who has multiple ailments. Rizzo has a bunch of unique needs. Rizzo's vision has deteriorated, along with her hearing and walks are slow. Karen was great. She showed great patience and easy tolerance. Great updates and you can tell that she truly cares about your pet.
I enjoy reading her comments after the walk as well as the pictures.
I couldn't ask for anyone better. My dog seems to really like Karen and she keeps me informed of everything that happened on the walk.

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I love them all. In terms of sitting however I CAN stay in your home if need be, but I prefer to drop in and hang out with your pup or kitty several times during the day. I have 2 dogs of my own so overnight stays are much more complicated.
A typical day
Dogs have enjoyed games of fetch, keep away, tug of war and all variations therein with me. I like to take dogs on nice long walks, unless they want to just hang out and sniff. I follow their lead!
