Karmen H.
Compassionate & experienced pet carer
Pet care experience
I love all animals and have provided care for them almost my entire life. When I was five I began helping my mom care for her horse and the other animals at our neighbors barn. At the age of 8, my personal care of animals began with adopting a bunny. Since then, my family adopted several dogs, for which I took the lead in training them as puppies and caring for them until I went to university. I went to university in Texas where I began volunteering at an animal shelter that rescues animals at risk for euthanasia, whether due to health or behavioural problems. I received ample training to best train and care for animals with behavioural and health problems here. As a volunteer, I walked dogs and trained them to overcome bad habits, in addition to caring for senior dogs and assisting with healthcare for dogs who required it. While at university, I also fostered dogs, rescuing them from euthanasia and caring for them until I could find good lifelong homes. Overall, with a deep-rooted love for animals and years of experience, I will provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. From regular walks and cuddles to assisting with training and healthcare if required, my top priorities are their well-being and happiness.
Reviews
Such a lovely vibrant lady who treated my puppy like she was her own! Thank you so much Karmen
Karmen is responsible, kind and excellent with all dogs. She has a lot of experience walking and working with various breeds. I highly recommend her!
Karmen is fantastic with pets of all kinds- she genuinely cares for and loves every animal she meets. She is one of the only people I feel 100% confident to watch my pets. Karmen helped care for my special needs dog and both my cats during a 5 month period after an emergency in my family. Eternally grateful for her care and support.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I value an open line of communication with pet owners as this ensures trust and understanding of their pet's needs and preferences. I prioritize safety and will closely adhere to established routines. I carry essential items such as a first aid kit and water during walks and am prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Through consistent care and engagement, I strive to provide a comfortable and nurturing atmosphere to foster trust and security for both the pet and the owner.

A typical day
I will communicate with you about your pet's needs and how to best serve them. I love being around animals and will spend quality time with your pet, however it will best serve them. I enjoy being active with my dogs and taking them out and about with me and on adventures. Therefore, I would love to take your dogs for walks in the park, play fetch, go for a swim, or explore new places and smells.

I am new to the UK and have no pets here; I miss my two dogs (a German shepherd and a large mixed breed) and would love to hang out with your furry friends, providing compassionate care. I will begin working as a teaching assistant after Easter, as this position will give me many holidays and ample time to provide pet care.
