Pet care experience

Full-time dog lover w/ fenced yard

Hello! I am a full time Dog Mama & Kid Mama. I have owned and cared for my own dogs for 10 years. I love the unconditional love that a dog endlessly gives. In our home our own dog is loved and cared for the same as a family member. Because I am a full-time Mama, this allows my schedule to be very flexible, and I am able to care for your pet throughout the day. I am an active person, and I love to take my dog/your dog me whenever possible. I am capable of brushing/bathing dogs, as well as administering oral medications or applying tick medication if necessary while your dog is in my care. Above all else, your dog will receive endless love and care from me!

Karen was the absolute best! I’m always nervous leaving our cat on longer vacations and I had zero worries this trip. She was amazing at communicating, sent pictures, and gave the best updates after each visit. She took such great care of her. I would 100% recommend Karen! Book her now. You won’t regret it. :)
