Pet care experience

Hi there. I am Karen. I would love to care for your doggie(s) while you're away! My home includes two standard poodles, ages 6 and 1, and some human children too. Our schedule includes walking the dogs in the morning and afternoon along with some play in the fenced in yard. My schedule can adjust to met the needs of your pup. My family could be a great substitute for your family while you are away....lots of cuddles included! Looking forward to meeting you!

Karen and her family took such great care of our pups! She was very nice and sent lots of pictures while we were away.

We were lucky enough to have Karen watch our dog for the long weekend. We couldn’t have been happier with how it went. Karen took the extra time to allow our dogs to meet before booking. This gave us some added comfort and certainty, which we appreciated. During the stay she provided many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We have no hesitation with booking with her again. 100% would recommend her and her family as sitters!

Karen was an exceptional Rover. She made me feel at ease with a meet and greet beforehand. Karen kept us updated about Nugget during his stay with her and took great care of him. Would happily rebook again with Karen and would thoroughly recccommend her!
