Pet care experience

Animals of all kind are my favorite

I have been watching animals for friends and relatives for years, and I’ve had 6 different kids of animals myself. Any pet will be respected and loved under my care. Also, I have a bit of a picture taking obsession, so you may receive lots of photos of your pet having fun!

Karalyn was phenomenal as always! She always provides tons of pictures during her visits and updates on how my dogs are doing. We really appreciate all her help and kindness!

Karalyn is always so wonderful with our little guy! He is not used to being left home alone while we are both at work but since our son moved out he appears to be so lonely. Karalyn spends so much time playing with him and sending us the best pictures. We appreciate her spending so much time with our old guy

Karalyn was amazing! Easiest 5-star review I could write, she was on time, sent us a ton of pictures, and logged everything that our dog did. We will most definitely be booking with her again in the future and we highly recommend her for any other pet owners.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

A typical day

My apartment has a lovely little dog park, but I prefer the nature preserve down the road. We will do lots of walking/running, and plenty of playing with toys. If your pet prefers indoor fun, I have no problems with that! I take great pride in finding the best enrichment activities depending on the personality and needs of the animal in my care.

Karalyn can host up to 2 pets per night
I have experience handling dogs with special needs/medications, elderly dogs/cats (my favorite!), as well as animals that are still working on their training. All animals need time and attention, I am happy to accommodate whatever that may look like for you and your pet(s)!
