Safety, trust & environment

Your dog safety is my absolute top priority. I maintain a safety first mindset by keeping dogs leash at all times during walks, staying vigilant of our surroundings, and never leaving them unattended. In my home, I ensure pet proved Environment, free of hazards, and I am always happy to follow your specific, feeding, medication, and create routines to maintain the structure they’re used to. I’ll provide regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind, knowing your papa is secure, supervised and responsible hands. I live in a neighborhood, not on a busy street and have a small securely fenced yard.

Information Karen T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what a typical day is like for your dog with you. What their general disposition is-happy and relaxed, slightly anxious, energetic, etc. Any special medications, feeding and activity schedule and of course how they interact with other people and animals.

A typical day

I tried to mimic their typical schedule that they have with you as best I can! Your pup will have at least one good walk a day or more if needed.

Pet care experience

My pup passed recently, while I’m not ready to get another puppy, I am missing him and the presence of a dog in my life. I am an avid walker, who truly believes a tired dog is a happy dog! I love exploring the neighborhood and taking advantage of our beautiful local trails, available directly from my neighborhood, ensuring your pup gets plenty of fresh air, mental stimulation, and exercise tailored to their energy level. There’s nothing better than the shared joy of being on a walk in the woods with your dog, other than the tired snuggles after.

We had a wonderful experience leaving our pup with Karen. She made us feel completely comfortable and most importantly Lulu was happy! We got frequent updates, Lulu got many walks and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Will def book again with Karen!

Karen watched our pup for a couple of days and we couldn't have been happier. We got plenty of updates and we could tell that our girl was happy and relaxed.

Karen would be a responsible and loving caregiver for your dog. She has had dogs since she was a little girl. She would be perfect for long walks and her fenced yard is a bonus.

Karen is a dear friend, and couldn’t recommend her more to love on your pup while you are away. Shes passionate about everything she does, and has a huge heart. Your furbaby will love her as a home away from home, while getting lots of love, and walks in nature. You won’t regret choosing Karen to care for your pup. <3
