Fun with a pet CPR certified sitter

Pet care experience

I enjoy keeping dogs company while their parents are away! I take dogs on walks around the waterfront, play fetch at the dog park, and spend lots of time rubbing bellies. I am certified in pet cpr and emergecy medicine. I am comfortable giving oral medicine, helping to house train, and taking your dog to appointments. About this sitter: Whether it be fetch, a belly rub, or a quick jog, I am always ready to make your dog feel special! Overnight snuggle sessions help put your dog to sleep and daytime dog park visits tire your dog out before you come home. Your dog's day will be a little brighter with a familiar friend to pamper them. I have been a dog sitter for five years and currently have a blind dog, so know the kind of love that dogs deserve. I would love to watch your dog in your home and will even provide webcam sessions if you miss your pooch. For overnight sessions, vacation photos are always provided. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my entire life and have babysat numerous dogs in the past. I have been a travel sitter, a dog walker, and always a friend who provides long lasting play time and cuddle sessions while they are falling asleep. I have experience giving dogs medicine, baths, etc. About my yard My apartment has waterfront walkways near its yacht club, plenty of grassy areas, and is located near Quiet Waters dog park and dog beach.

I really can't say enough good things about Karen and her attentiveness to Lonzo. This was by far the best Rover experience anyone could ever dream of. First of all we requested the stay at the last minute, yet Karen was extremely accommodating to fit our schedule. She kept us posted with regular pics and updates of their walks, park time, play time, and most heart warming ciuddletime with dog Lucy. Our family is truly grateful to have found Karen and her husband.

Karen is great with Rocko. Rocko is very energetic but when he spends time with her he just wants to sleep. Rocko loves to play and go with Karen anywhere. He loves his walks with Karen I would let her keep him any day!!!

Here's where we'll take our walks My apartment is located in Eastport, but has waterfront pathways for a luxury pet walking experience. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If your dog likes cuddling throughout the night, he is welcome to sleep on my bedroom furniture. I also provide a dry cleaned dog bed in case he needs his space. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan on spending all day with your dog. My dog, Lucy, is wonderful with other dogs and loves to play, so we go to the dog park daily and take several waterfront walks per day.
