Stay At Home Mom/in-house dog park

Pet care experience

Ever since i was young i’ve had a passion for dogs. We’ve always had dogs in the family so i have experience in training and caring for them. My apartment building is very pet friendly and we have an in-house doggy pet salon as well as indoor dog park. Indoor dog parks can be super beneficial in the heat so your pup won’t get overheated or burn his/her paws on the blazing hot cement outside. We also have an outdoor dog park within walking distance if that is their preference and need lots of space to run around. Your fur baby will be in great hands as i will care for he/she as if they were my own. I’m also very respectful towards any rules you have with your dog such as no table food and i will follow through with all of them. I also have a dog gate if you fear of your dog chewing or using the potty anywhere if you don’t have a kennel or crate. My balcony is perfect for anyone who has outside dogs. i’ll willingly accept any special dog instructions.

Karen was awesome with our wiener dogs.... like most dogs they are spoiled and can give their caregiver a hard time.... after a few hours of settling in they did great with Karen and were right at home... Karen contacted us on a regular basis and let us know how the pups were doing.... we will be using her again and give her an A+++ recommendation

Karen is a very sweet girl, seems to love animals, and take good care of them. My Australian Shepherd stayed with her 6 days without any issues. Also, Karen gave my dog a bath before I picked him up, which I thought was a very nice touch. My only concern was the apartment they live in is maybe 1000 square feet, and there were 3 dogs, a baby, Karen, and her husband... In my opinion, quite cramped. Other than that, everything went great. Overall rating 8.5/10

Karen was great. I had a last minute business trip to take and Karen was able to take our dog on very short notice. During the visit she had noticed some blood coming from our dogs bottom and made all the calls to get all the information needed to present everything to me, so that I could decide how to proceed with care for Shelby. She was in contact with me the entire time I was gone making sure I knew Shelby was in good health.

Information Karen V. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting your dog i would like to know what activities he or she likes. I don’t have any breed preferences. I’d also like to know if your fur baby(s) have any allergies. I’d also love to know your doggy’s personality traits so I can give them the best care possible. If your dog has a lot of energy I’ll know to take them on long walks or to a big dog park. I’d also like to know how they are around other dogs!

A typical day

Our community encourages pets as we have an indoor dog park here and a dog salon. There are also plenty of pet stops around to walk your pup around the building . If you have any toys feel free to bring them! I also love giving belly rubs(:
