Introduction: I am a dedicated, responsible, educated (college degree) mature adult working primarily from home. I am also a pet lover who has owned dogs since the age of 6! Goldens, beagles, dachshunds (on my 4th) and doodles, but love ALL dogs equally. I also care for cats, even though they don't require much exercise! In my spare time, I am a competitive runner and very active individual. If your pup has energy, I'm your woman. Playing, walking and snuggling just a few of my best attributes. Experience with rescues (all mine have been) as well as seniors. If your best friend needs another BFF, look no further! I have 4 years experience with animal care for clients and I am happy to provide references upon request.

I called for a meet and greet. She lives literally right across the way from me. She seemed good for wanting to meet and set something up but when she got to my house all the sudden it was well I’m a realtor and didn’t seem to have time for me at all. I live in a really nice neighborhood and my puppy is an Australian Shepard. Said she would check her schedule never got back. It was strange. Wasn’t sure what happened? I just need some help walking my dog while I’m at work. It’s been hard to find someone for sure! I wish I could have given her 5 stars. Would have loved the help!! Any help at that. If anyone knows anyone. Let me know! Lol!! Thx.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Standard visit (60 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

Hi Jaime, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately your work situation with such an uncertain schedule was not a good fit for me which I conveyed at our meeting would be a challenge. I have other clients on set schedules which is my preferred method. In addition, with a 7 month old energetic puppy, my belief is that you need consistency with the same person and someone who is willing and able to help with training. I wish you the best of luck!

I have very specific instructions for walking and feeding my older pit bull and Karen took the time to go over everything in detail. As an owner of a senior Doxie, she understood and cared about my concerns.

Karen showed up on time and took great care of my dog scooby!! I enjoyed getting pics and videos of their walks and the fun she was having with him!

I like to do a meet and greet with the owner and animal and find out any nuances such as do they get along with other dogs? People? Do they chase squirrels? Are there any medical issues?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have owned dogs my entire life and have had several clients over the past 3 years, both one time and standing, whose animals I have cared for. I have also worked for a holistic pet food manufacturer in the past.
