Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. How is your pet on walks as far as seeing other dogs, bicycles or kids.

A typical day

I love throwing a ball or frisbee and watch the dogs running after them and bringing them back to be thrown again. I enjoy dog walks and seeing the pleasure they are feeling on their faces.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for other's fur babies for the past 3 year. I have always had a cat in my house since I was 8 years old. I got my first dog when I moved out on my own. At one point in time my husband and I had 7 dogs and 3 cats all of which were rescue's. Currently I only have one cat. I would very much like to get another dog and will someday, I am not emotionally ready just yet. I am very content with the love and kisses from my client's fur babies. I also have experience giving insulin injections to both cats and dogs and IV fluids for one of my cats who died of kidney disease.

Karen was very friendly. Upon our meet and greet, our dogs did not bark at her and seemed very comfortable. She stay two nights with our dogs. She was on time, communicated regularly with pics. We felt good knowing they were in great care. Karen was also great to clean up behind herself. We will definitely use her again.

Karen, was wonderful! She is one of the best people we have had, if not the best. She loves our babies and takes good care of them.

Karen was incredibly caring with Brooklyn and Nina. She was highly communicative with us and took amazing care of our house. It’s nice to have someone you can trust with your dogs when you’re out of town 😊
