Dog Lover to Pamper your Pet
Pet care experience
Thank you for searching for me. Please note at this time I am available to 'Board', 'Visit" and/or "walk" your pet Only. 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 the pleasure of two Golden Retrievers who were our best friends and playmates. We now have a Long-Haired Chihuahua who we love dearly and fits right in. Now I am changing careers to do what I love. I took Pet Assisted Therapy training with my two Golden Retrievers a few years ago. My passion is for dog-walking, boarding dogs for extended stays, and helping people have a successful relationship with their pet. I love taking dogs for walks and finding nature trails. I now bring my Long-Haired Chihuahua to visit patients at a Rehab/Nursing Home. It is so rewarding. I would love to be there for your 4-legged family member. If you work full-time, your pet really needs a playtime to stretch their legs and get out some pent-up energy to put a smile on his/her face. I am even available to take your pet to the Vets for an appointment or groomers. Why I love dog sitting. As a child, my family had a German Shepard named Queeny, which was always tied up so I would spend hours sitting with her. I felt horrible when my dad opened an auto repair garage, and brought her there as a guard dog. My experience administering medication Yes. I prefer to use "Pill Pockets", but can give liquids, apply topical medicine as well.
Reviews
Karen is a fantastic dog sitter! Sunny had a blast while we were away, and Karen kept us at ease with daily updates, including adorable pictures. We could tell Sunny was in loving hands and well cared for. Her communication was fantastic, and we really appreciated the daily reassurance. We highly recommend Karen for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Karen was very patient with our Remy. We appreciate her care and concern for him.
I was very comfortable with Karen's visits to Marley. Marley seemed very well taken care of. I would use Karen again if needed.
Karen is the best! She took wonderful care of our 17-year-old cat while we were on vacation for a week. He has to be given medication and can be a fussy eater, but she became his new best friend and they got along quite well. The daily updates and photos of him in all his favorite places reassured us that he was fine, and we didn't need to worry about him, Thank you, Karen! We'll be calling you again.

Home
Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet
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? I don't have a breed preference, but I do love my Golden Retrievers.
A typical day
I feel a pet should have someone to play with a few times a day in my home, and very happy to stay longer if the pet has separation anxiety in your home. Extra house-sitting services I would be willing to bring in the mail, water plants, and even vacuum as needed.
