Stay at Home Dog Mom

Pet care experience

I am a stay at home mom to my fur baby and two teenagers. As someone who has not only sat, but also hired sitters for my own dog, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your dog behind. I promise that Every animal that comes through these doors is automatically family! I truly love spending time with them and will do everything I can to make them feel at home whether its playing fetch all day or just settling down to cuddle on the couch. Whatever YOUR dog needs! I am also able to send you daily pics and updates to help ease your mind. I am a lifetime dog owner and currently have a Border Collie that loves everyone and is great at making other dogs feel welcome. I have been sitting for several years and cant wait to meet your baby! Your dog is sure to get lots of attention here! I will only take one at a time to insure maximum care, We have a large fenced in yard to run around in and a house big enough that your family member will be able to have their own space.

Caren and her resident dogs were incredible hosts to our puppy. Caren sent us photo updates every day of their playtime and trips around Hampton Roads. She eased our fears about leaving our puppy and made sure we felt secure in leaving her there with her. Our puppy came home happy, sleepy, and just as adorable as always! Going to Caren’s house is like a fantastic slumber party for your dog! Next time, I think I want to stay over too. ;) Thanks for everything Caren! You’re incredibly passionate about dogs and it shows!

Caren is amazing and you can tell through all the positive comments here! We are so lucky to find someone who treats our dog like her own. We never like to leave Roxy but if we do...it’s with Caren.

Amazing! My dog is so high energy and can be a lot of work but Caren was so kind and made me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with her!

Information Caren R. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I do require a meet and greet to introduce my own dog to yours and to answer any questions you may have. I require an up to date shot record. I would like information on any dietary restrictions you might have and your dogs preferred activity level. Anything that will make their stay more enjoyable!

A typical day

We go on at least one long walk a day and try to make it a minimum of two depending on weather. The amount of activity we do is up to each individual dog. Some like to lay and have me just scratch their ears, and some like to play fetch for hours. Some like to take field trips in the car to Sandy Bottom and stop by Pelicans for a Pup Cup. I am flexible to Your particular dogs' needs.
