Loving & Caring Pet Service

Pet care experience

I am a devoted animal lover and I enjoy taking care of other peoples pets. I have many years of experience caring for animals and have had my own dogs, cats and horses for many years. I bond very quickly with dogs and enjoy their company and different personalities! I have my own little dog Lucky, he’s with me 24/7. I am naturally very caring and loving. I have five children, four grand children and we have always had dogs as part of our family. I have always been a devoted dog lover, right from a very young age when my parents got our first dog. I am currently in the process of making an animal app, for easier communication between people and their pets and also to help maintain their health, happiness and well being. I own an online company and work from home so it is very easy for me to spend all day with your dog/s. My children are never surprised when dogs run up to me. They say wherever I go I attract dogs! I do not currently take care of dogs at my home, only yours. This may change in the near future and I will mention on my profile when it does.

Karen is the absolute best! She's a great communicator and so kind and caring and always takes such great care of our puppy and our home. We've used her many times and she's always dependable and amazing!

Karen stayed at our house and watched our 4 month old puppy over the Thanksgiving holiday. I can't recommend her highly enough! She was so lovely and kind and our puppy took to her right away. Our puppy can be a lot to handle at times, but Karen took her for long walks to tire her out and sent the cutest photos! She left our house spotlessly clean and I think our puppy honestly missed her after we returned. We will definitely be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I don't take other dogs at my home as I find they do far better in their own home, in their own surroundings. I love to care for animals and have a deep love for dogs.

Information Karen A. would like to know about your pet

I have taken care of various types of dogs and I really don't mind which breed they are. I have a small dog, Lucky who is with me all the time and he loves to be with other dogs. He is very friendly and a great companion.

A typical day

I like to walk dogs at Hendry's Beach, close to the Mesa and I also like to walk dogs at the Bluffs, at Phelps and Cannon Green. I don't mind though where I walk them.

I own a company that allows me to be flexible with my time as my business operates online. I use my laptop and phone. My little guy, Lucky is a great companion for other dogs if they are alone and he fits in well with other dogs if there happens to be more than one.
