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!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge $30 for a 30 minute walk
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
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.
