Certified Pet Lover

I’ve been taking care of pets since middle school and currently have a small 15 pound dog of my own. I will definitely treat your baby like my own and bring him/her on all the adventures I take my own doggie on. I also have experience with older animals and giving medication if needed. I currently live in a household with 3 other roommates of dog lovers and we will all be giving your pup lots of love and attention. Your pup will be part of our family and never be alone! :)

Thank you for taking the best care of Rocket and Ruby! We never have to worry when we know our dogs are with you. They have the best time, and we can enjoy our vacation knowing we don't have to feel guilty leaving them behind. Your frequent pictures of them sweetly snuggled up at your place or on beautiful walks always help my children when they are missing Rocket and Ruby too. Thank you for helping us again and again!

Another great stay with Karen and Squeegee. We always appreciate the care and attention Karen gives to our dog Ally. We love that Karen takes Ally on so many adventures to get exercise and explore. Thank you for being our go-to Rover!

Karen is the most amazing pet sitter! She took such loving care of our two dogs, was incredibly easy to work with and flexible with timing. She sent so many pictures and videos too. Our dogs had the best time with her.

Another great stay with Karen and Squeegee for our dog Ally. We will always use Karen’s boarding services for any time we need for Ally. Karen always sends many photos to help us know that Ally is in great hands. We love how much Ally and Squeegee play together. Thanks again!

It’s always nice to be able to have Karen watch Ally for our trips when we can’t take her with us. Ally came home happy and tired which is a great sign of all the fun she had with Karen & Squeegee. Thanks Karen!

Schedule

I currently work from home, so have the flexibility to take your dog out as often as needed. I also wake up early, so can be available for early morning drop offs as well. I take my own dog to the nearby park everyday, and would be love to have your pup join us.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs to parks and on hikes. I often bring my own dog to fort funston, and can bring your dog too! I take my dog out for 1-1.5 hours everyday, and can take your dog out as often or as little as needed. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, as well as high energy dogs and anxious dogs. Additionally, I provide lots of mental stimulation such as snuffle mats, lickimats, and puzzle games/toys.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

I would love to know if your dog is dog/cat friendly, how often he/she needs to go potty, how much exercise he/she needs, and just the general personality.
