Dog lover in East Arlington
Pet care experience
I am a life-long dog lover and owner! I adopted my first dog of my own in 1998 and have had at least one in my family ever since! I was a dog foster parent for six years until I decided to focus more fully on pet-sitting. I have been a Rover sitter since 2017. My own dogs now are a 13ish year-old hound mix named Katie, who was an epic foster-fail, and a sweet 9 year-old basset hound named Fisher who was re-homed to me by a valued client in need. Working or traveling pet parents want to have their furry loved ones in great hands and cared for while they are away. I understand that, and want to provide love, companionship, and exercise to these dogs! I have experience with dogs from chihuahua to great dane, and all sizes in between. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs, blind and deaf dogs, diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, dogs with seizure disorders, anxiety, incontinence, and more. Aside from being a pet-parent, I am also a mom. I have two sons, high school and college age, who are of up-most importance to me. They are also dog lovers, and occasionally like to join me for walks or visits (only if you approve). I prefer to work within a few miles from home, in order to accommodate more clients, and not spend my day driving. If you ask me to check in on your dogs in your home, I will play with them, give them affection, or whatever they need. I always refresh water bowls and clean up messes as needed. When walking dogs, I stay in your neighborhood and walk only your dog(s) during your booking. I provide my own poop bags and treats if needed. During the hot months, I walk dogs only before noon or evenings if at all possible to avoid burnt paws and heat exhaustion. If you choose me to take care of your dog(s) I won't let you down!
Reviews
Enjoy working with Karin. She is patient with my dogs, and a great communicator.
Karin was amazing with our 14 week old puppy!
Karin was great. She came to meet Loki ahead of time so he was familiar with her. She left great follow up notes and sent a cute picture of him. Karin was both personable and professional. We will definitely book with her again in the future when needed.
Karin is awesome! My dog loves her and is always happy to see her. She always does an excellent job. 10/10 would highly recommend.

When I am in your home your dog's health and safety is my first priority. I will always ensure that your home is secure when I leave.
Home
Information Karin E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences, for example, does your dog have leash-reactivity and needs to be kept away from other dogs while walking?
A typical day
I want to cater my playtime to your dog's preferences, fetch with frisbees, balls, or other toys is always fun. Walks around your neighborhood to enjoy the outdoors, do potty business, and get rid of excess energy are the best!

Availability
I work part-time caring for your pups, but it is my only job, so I can give my smaller client base the time they deserve! I do not offer house-sitting, and I am not accepting new clients for boarding at this time.
