Retired, Reliable Animal Lover

Hi, I’m Karl! I’m a retiree with over 40 years of experience caring for dogs, and now I get to spend my days doing what I love most, spending time with pups. Whether your dog needs a reliable walking buddy or a friendly face to check in while you’re away, I’ve got the time and experience to help. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, and I understand that every pup has different needs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I always adjust the pace, distance, and care based on your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. What I Offer     •    Dog Walking: Regular walks to keep your pup active, happy, and healthy.     •    Drop-In Visits: Feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love. Because I’m retired, I’m flexible and available throughout the day. I believe every dog deserves consistent care, exercise, and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and truly love dogs. With decades of hands-on experience, you can trust that your pup will be safe, cared for, and treated like my own.

You can trust that your dog will be cared for with patience, consistency, and lots of love while you’re away.

Our dog was nice and tired out after his walk. Karl included lot of pictures which we loved. Will definitely be using him again!
