Introduction
Hi, my name is Karen and I have always been a pet lover! I had my first dog at the age of 5, a beautiful Golden Retriever named Brandy. For the last 45 years I have always had a dog, and greatly enjoy providing the love and care for others animals just as I do my own. My current fur babies are an 18 month old Golden Doodle and a rescue dachshund who is 8. I pride myself on making sure your animal(s) are well taken care of and I communicate regularly while you are away to put your mind at ease. I am a professional and responsible individual, and have 4 years experience with animal care for clients. I am happy to provide references upon request.

Karen was amazing from start to finish. One of our dogs is very scared of new people and has hid from past dog walkers, but she was able to get him to go on walks and play. We received pictures and updates daily, which made being away from our dogs a lot easier. I would highly recommend using her. I know I will be in the future!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

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.

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!

Karen was professional and communicated well from our initial contact with her. She stayed in touch about her initial visit with Winry. She warmed up to Karen quickly! We’ll definitely use her services again!

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.
