Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and gated wrap around porch, as well as 2 beagles (ages 4 6), a small supermutt (age 16), and a medium sized Wilbur (age 6). At your home harnesses and leashes will always be on before any doors are opened. I can crate your dog as well, if you prefer that.

Information Karen T. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their energy level, petting preferences, any diet restrictions or behavior ticks. Their favorite treats or pee/poop spots are helpful bits to know as well!

A typical day

We have great trails around our house. If I am stopping by your house, tell me their favorite spots to collect peemail and we will hit every one! I am a certified belly scratcher, a great tug of war opponent, and my toss game is top notch.

Pet care experience

Walk time, play time, and snuggle time are all big parts of owning and loving a dog, and happen to be 3 of my favorite things. My 6 year old coonhound mix Wilbur loves to play tug and chase with his neighbors & BFFs, Lily, Chase, and Stitch, and would love to meet your pet if you'd like! Not every dog wants play, some need one on one time. I'm here because I love dogs and am in tune with their needs. I pay attention to what they are trying to tell me. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, from mutts to Cairn Terriers to Beagles to Pibulls to St. Bernards, and have yet to find a dog that doesn't like me. Even when their owner said they wouldn't. Even better than that, dogs listen to me inherently and when I come upon a stubborn pup, I know that patience and positive rewards trump everything! Wilbur's BFF Beau was a rescue from animal torturous testing and had many special needs. He was also a flight risk. I dog sat Beau and Lily for 7 years and have learned to never underestimate a Beagle's brain, they will not hesitate to outsmart you. Currently Lily is 16 and gets a special diet along with meds. Wilbur grew up with her since he was 3.5 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need attentive care. Thank you and I look forward to adding your pup to my 4-legged friend list!

Karen was amazing! Every picture she sent you could see the dogs just happy as can be. She stayed at our house and the pictures that she took with them snuggling with her in bed were just priceless. I will definitely recommend Karen to any and all of my friends!

Pippin loves Karen’s house. She went right in and never looked back! I always know she is well cared for during her stay. 😃

Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!
