Pet care experience
Dog Lover to Pamper your Pet
My family always had a dog and a cat. I spent lots of time enjoying our German Shephard and our cat who I cleaned her ear mites regularly. Also, I spent lots of time with my grandmother who had multiple dogs throughout my childhood. I have raised two children and while I was a stay-at-home mom and work-at-home mom typing transcription. We have always enjoyed our Golden Retrievers who were our best friends and playmates (Currently only have Daisy), as well as a few cats. We even added a Long-Haired Chihuahua who we loved dearly for 10 years. I took Pet Assisted Therapy training with two of our Golden Retrievers and enjoyed bringing them to nursing homes for a few years. I love Boarding dogs for short or extended stays, and helping people have a successful relationship with their pet. Please know that i only take fur babies under 30 lbs. My experience administering medication I prefer to use "Pill Pockets", but can give liquids, and apply topical medicine as well.

Ratings and reviews
Karen was great! She kept us updated on how Lucy was doing and included lots of pictures. We had a meet and greet before hand to ensure everyone was comfortable and got along well. Lucy even transitioned home easily when we picked her up.
Karen was fantastic with my Petey! She went above and beyond to ensure he had everything he needed. She always communicated with me and even cooked up some food for him because I misjudged how much he would need while we were away. I also feel like he is better behaved after coming back. I would highly recommend her!
Karen was wonderful with our little shichon, Oscar. We felt very secure during our trip knowing that Oscar was in kind, knowledgeable hands. Communication was great, and Karen sent us pictures showing that our dog was comfortable and safe. One of the photos actually showed Oscar smiling! Unlike when we’ve boarded Oscar at a kennel, he didn’t have to “decompress” when we brought him home or act “strange” after his stay with Karen. He was his “regular self.” We definitely would book Karen again!
Karen was wonderful! So communicative with care to detail and what is best for our dog. She sent pics of how happy our dog was each day. Very accommodating with requests. Look forward to booking again!
Karen was great with our dog and provided timely and thorough updates and a bunch of pictures! Our dog had some recent health issues and we knew she was safe with Karen. We won’t hesitate to re-book in the future and highly recommend Karen!
Karen was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and provided multiple pictures each day. Highly recommend her expertise and care!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard for your pet(s) and enjoy spending time with them in or outside. I enjoy petting and giving pets love and attention.
Pets
A typical day
I feel a pet should have someone to play with a few times a day. Extra house-sitting services I would be willing to bring in the mail, water plants, and even vacuum as needed.
- 0 to 15 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatKaren can host up to 2 pets per night
- I would like to know what type of exercise the pet gets on a regular basis, and how well he/she gets along with other dogs and new people. What is his/her favorite "chew" toy? Is he/she allowed on the furniture/bed?
