Patient & kind, animal lover!
Pet care experience
I work with all dogs, big or small, young or old, shy or friendly, and hyper or calm. I have experience with many personalities. 🐕🐾 I’m also comfortable with cats! 🐱 I’m pretty flexible and I’m okay with last minute requests (~24 hours in advance). However, I must do a meet and greets to make sure I’m a great fit for your pet! For BOARDING: I work from home and will be with your pet all day. I have a cattle dog who is high energy and can be barky, but he is extremely friendly and responds to commands well. There is a yard in the complex for potty and plenty of space to walk. My home is on the small side so small / medium dogs only. For DROP INS / WALKS: If your pup is not potty trained or prone to accidents pee pads are required to be provided or an additional drop in must be booked. I can run / workout your dog if you prefer for an additional cost. I do not allow dogs to be off leash in my care. For big doggies (50+ lbs) that pull a harness with front clip, head collar, or some pulling mitigation device is required. All pups must have boots for summer time walks.
Reviews
Karen was wonderful to work with, great communicator and send pictures and updates routinely. Can't recommend her care enough!
Karen was amazing. It was a last-minute request and she immediately accepted our request. We did a meet and greet same day! She took amazing care of our fur kids! We highly recommend Karen! We will use her again! Thank you Karen you are amazing!
Karen was FANTASTIC. Her wanting to meet my pup before the drop in let me know how intentional and caring she was about providing the best care. I will definitely book again!
Karen was great! Communicative and so helpful.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will typically feed your dog or cat during the drop in and also take them outside in the backyard, or on a walk, and I refresh the cat litter and every visit.
Home
Information Karen U. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog know their basic commands: sit, down, stay and “no”? Let me know if your dog is reactive, has a habit of resource guarding, or high energy. I can accommodate them and keep them safe! Does your dog pull? Do they eat random objects on walks? Does your pup have boots for when it hot outside? Do they prefer an on leash walk or 30 minutes of fetch in the backyard?
A typical day
I will take your dogs to a nearby park and let them sniff all the interesting smells. I like going for short hikes at a nearby park there are so many light/moderate trails. Otherwise walking around my complex is nice and quiet.
