Information Michael & Karen C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any basic information: What are their habits, what do they like and don't like. How often they usually poop or pee. How much exercise do you want them to have?

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks. We have several parks that are walking distance. Or if the dogs want to be more adventurous, we can walk in the Back Bay, either on the pedestrian road or off track. Dogs love running and sniffing and experiencing the nature there.

Pet care experience

I've lived with dogs all my life and have plenty of experience caring and nurturing them. Four dogs and two cats are the most I've ever had at one time for over 10 years. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I'm a stay at home Mom, so I have plenty of time to play and care for dogs. I have to kids in school, but my husband Our home is near the Back Bay and will happily take dogs on walks there. Our yard has a 7ft high fence to keep dogs safe.

Our dog Angus always seems happy to arrive at Karen and Michael’s home— he ran right into Karen’s arms last week which makes us feel really good about leaving him with this lovely family!
