Hi I’m Karen! Throughout my 60 years , I’ve had all sorts of pets, from reptiles to livestock. I currently have 5 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds, 3 mini donkeys, one mini horse, one full size horse and Walter, the sheep. I do a lot of animal rescue and that is how most of my animals have ended up with me. I’m retired, after an injury from a freak accident with one of my horses, from horse and dog training as well as having my own dog grooming business for 25 years.  As Darcy’s mother, I am very excited to manage her business expansion to my area. Presently, I also help manage her Illinois employee’s visit requests and schedules. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
