The TLC Your Pet Won't Forget!!

Pet care experience

Available most every day and quite flexible re: your needs. Find that most walks require at least 45-minutes, especially in nicer weather so want to ensure that your dog is satisfied - ha! Somewhat retired so have lots of time to provide quality TLC. Early riser. Play in the dog park twice a day (just two blocks away) with my own peke. Love to be outside and on occasion, just get in the car and drive to new neighborhoods - all about finding new smells and meeting new people/dogs along the way. Important to keep pets entertained. Do not have a yard so I make every effort to get out and about at least 5 times a day. Everybody wins regardless of the weather. I am outgoing, reliable, trustworthy and treat every dog as if he/she were my own which means nice long walks multiple times a day with play woven in between.

Karen was very accommodating. We booked with her less than 24 hours and she was super responsive. We have a 9 year old female beagle/lab mix. She got along great with Karen's calm 7 year old dog. Karen took them both on several long walks every day. I could tell from the pictures that my girl was happy and made herself right at home with Karen and Sneakers. We would highly recommend Karen and Sneakers for overnight stays and hope to see them again soon.

My husband and I adore our 4 pets, 1 Matese, 3 cats. Karen was recommended to us from a friend. As our lives revolve around our pets, it was very important to us to find a person that we could trust and also relate to our pets. Upon meeting our pets, it was apparent there was a mutual attraction. When we returned from vacation, our home and pets were clean, litter boxes included. All pets seemed calm and well cared for. Karen sent us several photos of our pets relaxing while we were away. Karen took the stress out of leaving our pets.

Karen has walked and housed two of my dogs. They loved her and I felt completely at ease when they were in her care. She is so obviously a dog person caring and trustworthy!

A typical day

Dog Park two blocks away - perfect for serious playtime. Lincoln Park is perfect for walking dogs for at least 45-minutes. That just seems to be the requisite time that dogs require. Always a new street to navigate/investigate.
