Highlights
Pet care experience
Will be loved like our own:)
We have been around dogs our entire lives and have always felt a deep connection with animals. From fostering and training, to caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs; it has been a labor of love to nurture and nurture them through their ages, stages, and situations. From golden retrievers, newfoundlands, labradors, pitbulls, dachshunds, border collies, cockapoos, and many other breeds, we've experienced a vast array of shapes, sizes and personalities in our home. Currently, our fur family members are Boulder, our 5 year old Newfoundland boy, and Brick, our 5 month labrador boy. Both of them love other dogs and are socialized and friendly with people as well.

Safety, trust & environment
We are dog lovers, and safety and love are our priority. We do have two dogs of our own. They are well socialized, and they fully enjoy the company of other dogs. Ideally we like to integrate our guest pups into our little 2 pack, to ensure the most fun and relaxed atmosphere for all. We do have crates available if nap time/down time away from the others is needed. Our 5 year old Newfoundland, Boulder, is a gentle giant, who is extraordinarily patient and friendly. Our 5 month old yellow lab, Brick, is a sweetheart, and still a growing puppy. He has lots of energy and is a quick learner, eager to please, and up for lots of play. He does like his naps, as does Boulder, so we do have a healthy ebb and flow to the rhythms of life here. We have a 4 foot fence around our backyard with about half an acre of land to run around in. We also have a very safe neighborhood that only has one entrance, so there are few cars. With over a mile of sidewalks, there are plenty of sniffing opportunities when we are out on our walks. Since we do have a current puppy in our home, our house is puppy proof. Our pantry door stays shut 24/7, there are no poisonous plants nearby,all cords and wires are tucked away, and no shoes are left out. If you would rather have us care for your dog in your home, we are very conscientious, of the routines and guidelines you set out for us.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing care, felt so good knowing our fur-babies were in good hands.
Abbie and Karen take fantastic care of our Bernese mountain dogs. They make sure our boys are fed, pottied and played with and are great sharing photos and videos with uz. We are so grateful for their help and will continue booking with them!
Karen is amazing! She was wonderful with our dog, showed up exactly when she said she would, spent a lot of time walking and playing with him, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I couldn’t be happier with her service. It was obvious from the pictures and videos our dog was very happy while we were away. Thank you so much!!
Karen was absolutely amazing with our three dogs while we were away. Each of our pups has different needs, including one senior dog who requires medication and extra attention, and Karen handled everything with such care and compassion. She kept us updated throughout our trip with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well, she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. It was clear from every update that she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs as if they were her own. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pups was the best feeling. We are so grateful for Karen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter. She truly went above and beyond!
This was my first time using Rover. It was a last minute need. Finding Karen to fit our needs was close to a miracle. Karen was patient and flexible. First meeting us and the dog to see if this could be a good fit, understanding schedules and then fitting into our dog’s routine for a couple of days. All on a holiday weekend. Keeping touch by text w pictures was
Karen was unbelievably fantastic with my somewhat temperamental pup. She made him feel comfortable and gave him lots of attention, walks and treats. There’s no question that I would have her back again!

Schedule
Abbie - I am currently working part-time at a restaurant that is very flexible with my hours. I just moved back to the area and do not have too many extracurriculars at this time. Also, I truly enjoy staying busy so would love to accomodate you and your pet's needs any way I can. Karen - My schedule is flexible, as I work at home. Abbie and I rotate our "out of the house" time as best possible to ensure the pups have proper supervision and care. Our dogs have plenty access to the "great outdoors," as I spend the bulk of my days in their continual presence, so their needs are met quickly.
