Highlights
Pet care experience
Excellent care provider-loves walks
I love Houston and am blessed to call it home. Growing up with everything from Labrador Retrievers and Weimaraners (the Sesame Street dog) to our family "lap dog" I understand and appreciate both smart, high energy dogs who love family's and are highly active and the cute little puppy who just wants to warm your lap while being petted. I love to get my steps in and find myself walking multiple times a day either down the street or at Memorial Park -- located right across the street. I've found the best way to help a dog enjoy their stay is to take them for a walk outside and let them get their sniffs in while having exercise. I find dogs who have regular exercise are less destructive when at home, sleep better, and are more attentive to obedience training.

Safety, trust & environment
I am not currently set up for boarding but when I house sit, I treat each home with respect and make sure your pet has the time and attention they need based on their needs and schedule
Ratings and reviews
Great experience. Great communication. Karen was able to help out with short notice which was greatly appreciated.
This was my first time using Rover, and Karen did a great job!
Karen has been wonderful with our 8 month old Great Dane/lab! He has so much fun and she certainly handles his puppy energy well:)
Karen did a wonderful job with Dexter! He sometimes can be a grump when it comes to putting on his vest for walks, and she handled him extremely well! I appreciate her patience and love towards are senior pup!
We hired Karen to stay with our two dogs in our home while we were away for 16 nights. For a few months before the trip, we hired her several times to walk the dogs so that they would be used to her. While we were on our trip, she sent us pictures a few times to show that the dogs were doing well and was responsive to our messages. We would definitely hir he again.
Always love knowing Karen is walking my dogs!

Schedule
Thanks to Rover, I am able to care for pets full time. I have regular daily walking clients. It would be easy to add a stop on the route or drop in to check on a pet
