Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs have my heart.
I grew up with dogs-- Freckles, Shadow, Trixie and Coco! Rosie was my first dog on my own -- 13 years together and she recently passed away. I'm looking to fill the gap by taking care of other people's pups. I will treat your dog like my own. I know what it feels like to worry when entrusting the care of your loved one. I love a good snuggle and going for walks, and I will keep you updated with photos while you're away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Careen was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She was responsive, flexible, and so loving throughout his stay. The photos she sent made it clear he was having the best time — tons of outdoor adventures and plenty of cozy indoor snuggles. Cooper came home happy and relaxed, and I know he can’t wait for his next visit with her. Highly recommend!
Careen was amazing with my 3 year old female German Shepherd. She is very patient and loving. One on one is what my girl needs and she loved every moment of the week. We highly recommend Careen! (Also, takes the best photos)
Very happy with all the time and attention with Hickory and all the nice long walks as well
Phenomenal stay for our goldendoodle. Careen is such a sweet person and clearly loves animals. She took exceptional care of our Leia and was a great communicator.
We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!
Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

Schedule
I work close to my home, so I can go home on lunch for a quick potty break. I like going for walks. I took care of Rosie for 13 years, so I am comfortable with the integration into my life and spending time with a dog at home. What's the point of having a dog if you're not hanging out together? Morning, noon, after work (4:45 p.m.) and before bed -- we go out for potty breaks. We go for a walk and play with toys on the floor together.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We can set up a bed and/or crate. I have a crate for medium sized dogs and also doggy steps if needed. I also have a room off the kitchen that could be a hang out area and closed off if that's the kind of set-up your dog is used to. It has slider doors to the back porch (sunshine and a little bit of a view). One door could be closed and then roam between room and kitchen with a doggy/childcare divider on the other end. It just depends on what your dog needs and prefers and we can figure it out together.
A typical day
I like to play toys with your dog and go for long walks. My Rosie never liked to walk, but I love it! My neighborhood is a nice place to stretch legs and take in the smells of other dogs and whatever critters may roam. While my yard isn't fenced, I do have a long lead to hook up to and hang out in the front yard under my supervision.
