Highlights
Pet care experience
Grow skills of calmness &confidence
New clients get 50-% off first walk. I focus on building calmness skills and mindful walks. Our family dogs have had many big adventures in the mountains, by helicopter, hiking, paddle boarding, and just hanging out watching a little TV. As a dog trainer our pups are filled with positive training time, lots of mindful work, and support with there challenges. I have had many dogs in my life and the most exciting one being our border collie who was in flyball, agility and some sheep herding, scent work and tracking. She was trained to fly with us and spend weeks in the alpine. Our extended family have been instrumental in teaching our pups to love children and being kind. I look forward to meeting your best friend and family member. I look forward to assisting in any training needs as well. Training while walking will be available at a reduced fee for my Rover clients upon request. cuddles and shakes.

Ratings and reviews
Karen provided extra special, cusromized care for and attention to my border collie. Thank you, Karen!
Meeting Karen was love at first sight for our border collie! An instant understanding of being safe and happy with Karen who is communicative and reliable. We're booking more walks!
CJ was very well taken care of by Karen. Nice to be able to leave your dog and know they are in good hands!
Over the last 31 years, Karen has been my go to person when I needed help working with and understand my 3 dogs. I'm not a natural animal person, Karen is. She has always treated her dogs (and mine) with respect, lots of love, but she really understands how to make them respond to her, and how to make them feel safe. She's a very happy, smart, really energetic, strong person, who will work to really get to know you, and your dog. Her favourite thing is hiking, always with a furry friend by her side.
Karen cared for my first dog Bo many times back in the early 2000's as well as my current second dog Dexter. Karen is so patient and loving with dogs, I always knew they were in good hands and could relax. She has taken the time to gain a tremendous amount of knowledge re: dog training, dog behavior, and dog health & nutrition. Karen has cared for and trained too many dogs over the years to mention with an outcome of a respectful, well-loved, happy dog. They adore her! I know she's dealt with some difficult dog behaviors, but she manages to figure out what motivates them to listen. She calls it positive conditioning. Her energy level and enthusiasm are seemingly boundless. With 100% confidence, I can highly recommend Karen to care for your dog.
Karen is a true dog whisperer! She has a real calming effect on dogs. Patient, very knowledgeable, caring and loving she’s been fantastic when dealing with any of my dogs. Highly recommend Karen for pet sitting, walking, training or exercise programs, you won’t be disappointed! Lisa P
