Karen Gaylord, Owner

Hello!

My name is Karen Gaylord, one of the owners of Southpaw Pet Care, LLC located in Sherwood, Oregon. Jon Gaylord runs the day to day operations and is the co-owner.

I grew up with Labrador retrievers during my childhood which ignited my passion for the pawed ones. There was a dog in every photo taken by my parents, some even included me.

Starting in 2007, through 2016 my family and I were heavily involved in animal rescue. I was a board member for a local, all volunteer, foster home based animal rescue. We have fostered over 50 dogs during our time in rescue and in that time I have gained priceless experience with dogs that have come from all levels of neglect or abuse.

After spending 25 years in the health insurance industry, it was time for a change. In late 2015, I resigned from my position as an Account Executive to pursue my true passion.

The animals in our lives are as important to us as we are to them. Making sure they are exceedingly well cared for is our only goal.

Our company is insured and I am trained in pet first aid and CPR.

I hope I get to meet you and your pet soon!

Professional, Passionate and Reliable
