Hello, I'm Karen, your dedicated pet care specialist with a lifelong passion for animals. With over 30 years of experience in the pet industry, I have cultivated a wealth of knowledge and hands-on skills. My journey has been diverse, from hand-raising orphaned domestic and wild animals to managing a pet boarding facility and horse boarding stable. I am a certified dog groomer and breeder, and I’ve volunteered and worked extensively at animal shelters and veterinary hospitals. My expertise spans a wide range of animals, and I am adept at administering medications both orally and by injection, ensuring your pets receive the best care possible.

My services also cover a variety of other animals, ensuring all your pets are in caring and capable hands. Understanding the importance of flexibility, I offer mobile services and maintain a four-day cancellation policy to accommodate any changes in your schedule. This flexibility allows me to provide seamless and stress-free solutions for all your pet care needs.
