I am so glad and beyond thankful my pup and I found Bones K-9! Karen and her husband took great care of my baby when he stayed with them for two weeks and dealt with all his quirks with nothing but love and patience. Now, Karen has become our daily dog walker and that has also been such a pleasure! She is always super responsive, loving and professional. I know that my baby is in great hands every single day. My dog is now 10 and my only regret is that we didn’t know Karen since the first day I found him… he would probably be much better walking on the leash if I had! I would definitely recommend their services to all animal parents.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Brody is so unique in so many ways. Never a dull moment with him and my cats were obsessed with him. Thank you so much for trusting us with your baby and he will forever be a part of our family. We love him…💙

My husband and I are very thankful to Karen pictures were sent while we were apart from our dog Also She picked our dog up and dropped her off I highly recommend Karen and will be a repeat customer Lynn Fribush

Thank you for trusting us with Lexi. From the moment that she came into our home she made herself comfortable. She was great with my cats and my kids adored her. Can’t wait to see her again…🤗

Karen has been walking our dog regularly for the past 6 months. She is wonderful and truly loves our girl. So much so that everytime she comes our pup runs to the door to great her with excitement. Highly recommend Karen.

I had an emergency, and I literally called Karen 48 hours before having to leave out of town. She responded immediately!!! Was able to accommodate my TWO dogs last minute for a weekend stay and even went the extra mile to get them Groomed for me. Oh WAIT I left something out….she even picked up and dropped them off for me. Karens spirit and selflessness is UNMATCHED! She is stuck with me and my 2 puppies from here on out! Thank you Pawtie K. Grateful that we met! Thank God for Thumbtack.

If you going away for a trip and need a boarding service I would definitely recommend Bones K-9. Like any dog mom I hate leaving my baby with anyone, however I wasn't able to take him on my trip because of work. Karen was amazing she assured me that Midnight my 3 year old doberman pincher was in great hands and I had nothing to worry about and she was right. Midnight had a great time I got daily updates and pictures showing me how much fun he was having. Honesty I don't even think Midnight missed me the whole time I was gone. He gravitated to Karen as soon as he met her, and for Midnight that says a lot because he is a grumpy old man in a 3 year old body. He spent his birthday with Karen and she even had a little hat for him (as seen below). She did amazing with him. I would definitely be using her anytime I go away. I wouldn't trust no one else.

Details: 1 dog • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • One time only • Feeding

Awwww!!!! Thank you Ruby for your beautiful and warm words. Midnight was such a delight to have. It was great to celebrate his birthday my kids were ecstatic…😆 Can’t wait to create more new memories…❤️

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer discounts especially if there is more than one pet in the same household.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Everyone is different and I am lucky to have great clients.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Well, I was a Dental Assistant/Tech and I was so passionate about it. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit unfortunately I had to make the most hardest decision of putting my career on hold. I joined forces with my husband and I decided to emerge into Bones K-9. Almost 2 years later and I have to say it was the best decision I had to make.
