I currently work part time from home. My schedule is flexible and I always make time for big walks and spending time with animals. I'm a wildlife photographer and am sensitive to animal cues, and thier body language.

About Karen S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced-in dog friendly yard (48 inch tall picket). I'm 1/4 mile walk from a dog friendly beach and take daily walks there with my lab. Our dog Juni is a big love and happy to host nice friends of all sizes. She adapts to the type of dog she plays with, dialing it down for little or aging ones, and revving it up for large energetic ones. I'm also happy to come to your home if not too far from mine.

A typical day
I love to get to know new animals and give them time and opportunity to get to know me. I'll take their cues and your direction. Love to play games in our yard, and take fun walks in our quiet neighborhood or on the beach. We'll spend our day together with our sweet lab Juni. Happy to reinforce your training with puppies.

Pets
Loving dog mom. 30 yrs. experience.
Pet care experience
I've had 5 wonderful dogs (large and small) and 3 sweet cats join our family over the course of 30 years, 10 of which were spent on a NH family farm with goats, chickens and rabbits. I'm familiar with different breeds, different temperments and sensitivities. Have trained our puppies, cared for a dog with allergies requiring meds and have spent quiet, quality time with aging pets. My wonderful lab Juni and I spend lots of time playing and walking on the beach. Friends always welcome!
Cat care experience
Karen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Karen and Juni are wonderful!! My 9 month old chocolate Lab loves “Juni sleepovers”! Thank you Karen for being the best ever!!
Karen is absolutely amazing! My 9 month old Golden Retriever has gone to her house for the day and done an over night. Both times I was updated with tons of pictures. My dog loves spending time with her dog Juni. If I could give Karen 10 stars I would.
Reese had a phenomenal stay with Karen and her dog! Karen was incredibly accommodating when I needed to adjust the drop-off/pick-up times and shorten Reese’s stay. She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I loved that she made a point to prioritize Reese’s comfort and keep her routine as normal as possible. At pickup, Karen even had all of Reese’s bags and crate packed and ready to go. We would love to rebook with Karen!
We absolutely love Karen and Junie! Goldie does too! :) She even got to go to the beach today for a nice walk in the spring weather!!
