Availability

I am WFH and a flexible schedule so I can be flexible with pick up and drop off but last minute requests might be difficult if pick up is necessary. With ample notice, pick up and drop off is also possible. for an additional fee. I also can do a digital pet portrait of your dog (face/head only) while they stay with me for an additional fee. I am Just starting this so until I get enough portraits I am only charging $15. This will go up once I develop a portfolio. I can send you link for that if interested.

Your Dog will Love It Here!

Pet care experience

Hi! I love little pups and I only take up to 2 dogs at a time so your baby will get all the attention. I have a lot experience administering insulin shots and caring for a diabetic dog. I also grew up with a German Shepherd / Husky mixed rescue dog. I will take your pup out 3-5 times a day for day care --depending on how long your pup will stay with me. I prefer a meet and greet--but if your dog is well-behaved without special issues, a meet and greet is not necessary If your dog is crate trained, I do not have a crate so if it is important for your baby to have a crate, please bring it for overnight stays. If you are using my pick up and drop off service I do require text confirmation that someone is home to receive your dog the day I am dropping them off. Your dog is very precious to me and I won’t leave them in your home alone unless specifically instructed to do so with clear instructions.

If you live in Ft Greene, or anywhere close, Karmen is a great choice! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. We received regular updates and photos and I could tell that my best friend Ginger was happy and comfortable the whole time.

Karmen did a wonderful job. My dog attached to Karmen quickly and she was very sensitive to the sort of care he needs. I highly recommend Karmen for your pet sitting needs

Karmen is a great communicator sending pictures and updates. Raisin is a shy dog and Karmen ensured she was comfortable. We have booked Karmen several times now including boarding.
