Caring and reliable
Pet care experience
I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs. As a former Caregiver for a local agency, I cared for the pets of the clients I served. I have had one or more pets for as long as I have lived. I have helped friends and family with their pets as well and spoil them just as I do my own! I have taken care of young pups to senior dogs. I have taken care of kittens and cats as well. I am comfortable with administering oral medications.

I know the routine you have for your pet is important to keep. Your pet is unique and I would care for your pet the way you do. I will follow whatever routine you have in order to make your pet feel less stressed and loved while you are away. My pet has my attention at all times when I am at home. We work in my office together. We go outside and enjoy playing in the backyard.
Information Karen U. would like to know about your pet
I would like to meet your dog before my visit since some dogs are fearful of strangers. I only accept well mannered nonaggressive dogs and would prefer to use a harness for walks off site. Where you live and breed of dog could also make a difference on a booking with me. I am available 7AM-9:00PM 7 days a week. Also, does your dog have any special needs that I need to be aware of? Any allergies, taking medications, any exercise limitations, etc.?
A typical day
I always try to keep to the dogs routine. That helps the dog to be more comfortable. Where do they like to walk? Do they like to stay in the backyard or walk around the neighborhood?What are some favorite toys? I would like to do the things that each dog enjoys. Of course I would give tummy rubs, neck scratches, and pet them as well!
