About Karen

Experience: 20 yrs

I myself have been around animals all my life. I currently own a German short haired pointer puppy full of himself! I am a retired nurse looking for extra income in the area. I hold a college degree and maintain CPR training and First Aid certification to ensure your companions are always in capable hands. Whether I am administering medication, managing high-energy breeds through active play, or helping a shy pet come out of their shell, I prioritize a safe, consistent, and stimulating routine. I remain calm during emergencies and communicate clearly with you regarding any concerns. My approach centers on reinforcing positive behaviors while ensuring your home remains a clean, secure environment. I truly cherish witnessing the unique quirks that make each pet special. I look forward to providing your furry, feathered, or finned friends with the same love and empathy I give my own.
