Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Favorite Human

I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention!

Karen has been an absolute godsend for my 87 lb Cane Corso pit mix, Proximo. A few dog walkers turned me down because of his size and breed, but Karen didn’t hesitate. From the very first meeting, her calm, positive energy instantly clicked with Prox—he took to her right away. Now, the moment he hears her voice at the door, he’s filled with sheer excitement! It’s clear he genuinely looks forward to his walks with her. Karen has made a difference in Proximo’s life (and mine), and I’m so grateful to have found such a caring, reliable dog walker who truly connects. Highly recommend her services!

Karen loves every pet as if it were her own. Not only is she very loving and caring towards pets but she shows tremendous initiative and is very solutions oriented. No matter what problem or issue comes up with a pet she takes the initiative to solve it. She's at the top of my list for pet care.

Karen has always been the most amazing caretaker of our two English cocker spaniels when we travel. Karen has been part of our family for years. Beau and Izzy love her. We can go away for a day, a weekend, a week or month and there is no one who loves our doggies more and no one more trustworthy to stay in our home to care for our doggies and our home. Take our advice, if you are looking for the best of best dog sitter or walker, call Karen. There is no one better, kinder and more generous of her love for doggies.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule.

Pets

A typical day

Since I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, exercise, and personalized attention throughout their stay.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Karen can host up to 2 pets per night
Before any stay, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re a good fit and that your dog feels comfortable with me. Knowing about your dog’s personality, routine, medical needs, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, and how they interact with people and other dogs is essential. The more I know, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience. I welcome dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels.
