Highlights
Pet care experience
Grandma's Critter Lovin PET Service
Nothing is better than a Grandma's love. I love and enjoy all animals. I am a country girl, raised around just about every kind of fur baby and feathered baby there is. I lost my Boxer girl pup just last year after 11 wonderful years. I am Grandma to 9 beautiful fur babies, and care for them when needed, and I am ready to love on your pups and kitties. I raised my children on a small ranch with just about every animal thinkable.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Karen watched our 12.5 year old pug and was great! She is very nice and helped us out tremendously as our local pet sitter canceled on us last minute. Our dog had a great time playing with all the toys and exploring Karen’s backyard. I highly recommend Karen and we will absolutely use her again if the opportunity comes up.
This was our first time leaving our Dog Cooper with a sitter and we were a bit nervous. As soon as we met Karen we immediately felt at ease! She is awesome! She sent us picture's and video's of Cooper while she was watching him and it really gave us peace of mind knowing that he was in really good hands!
This is the second time Karen has watched my senior dog in my home. She is such a kind person and took great care of my baby. Piper even did “zoomies” when she saw her. Karen sent videos and text messages to keep me informed. Don’t hesitate to book Karen, your fur baby will be in great hands!
Karen is amazing with my greyhounds! We love her!
Karen took such great care of Charlie and Leo! You can tell immediately how much Karen loves animals when you first meet her. She is very interested in getting to know the dogs personalities and keeping them as much in their routine as possible. She sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated, which always makes me happy. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Karen and knew they were in good hands!
Karen did an amazing job watching my Piper and grand doggie Sadie. She kept me informed with text messages and videos. It made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing my doggies were in great care. Already booked Karen for my next trip!

Schedule
I'm retired, and have plenty of time to share with your fur babies. I am all about quality time, not quantity. If your Fur Pup is socially challenged, shy, being with a lot of dogs when boarding is challenging, this Grandma can help. When boarding at my place, I now offer private (one family at a time) boarding. I am available most days of the week. Drop ins are ok, but a 24 hour notice is preferred.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Grandma is all about the snuggles and kisses!! Caring for your fur babies be prepared they will be spoiled, at your place or mine. I have a one story home, smoke Free, beautiful grassy enclosed backyard by brick walls, with several shade trees. Due to being able to offer private boarding (one family at a time), bookings go fast, and spaces get limited. Reserve your spot with Grandma now before they are all gone.
A typical day
Lots of fun activities are always planned to help dogs physically and mentally. All overnight boardings have a 15 minute courteous walk in the early morning, before it gets too hot. With summer coming, the weather is getting hotter, my home is air conditioned, non-smoking, and Pups are never left outside. I have a lot of toys to chew and play with, in a Kennel Free home. Additional Walking time may be booked for a discounted Walking rate. Boarding: It is very important that Drop offs must be done during time agreed upon at booking. There is a $25 late drop off fee and late pick up. Drop offs after 8 pm will not be accepted. Boarding: All overnight picks ups must be by 10:00 am, unless otherwise agreed upon. Being I only accept one family at a time, this allows me time to get ready for the next family. There is a $25 late pick up fee. House/Pet sit starts at 8 pm, and ends by 7 am the last day unless other arrangements have been made. Doggy Day Care: Hours are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. There is a $25 late pick up fee. Walking time my be added for an additional discounted rate. All pets must be current with shots, and flea meds, Distemper, parvo, and kennel cough. Proof will be needed before boarding. Thank you for understanding. If your dog is anxious, reactive, socially challenged, you may want to book a private boarding, ask Grandma for the details.
