Pet care experience
Your Small Pup’s Vacation Home!!!
We will be your pup’s favorite place at the Jersey Shore for day care or overnight stays!! I have been a dog owner for over 20 years and currently have two dogs of my own—Finnegan, a maltese/pom mix and Oliver, a bichon. We all live happily in my small and cheerful home in a quiet rural area of Neptune close to Shark River Park. My dogs and their guests enjoy a fenced in patio/yard under the trees for play and potty time. The yard is brightly lit for early morning and evening potty trips. I also have a small side deck for sun napping and breakfast on nice days. Our home is monitored by security cameras inside and outside the house. I work from home so I am available to oversee the dogs at all times. Pups staying overnight are never left alone. Our home is poison free. We do not use pesticides or chemicals for lawn care, pest control, etc. My dogs enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables for snacks (such as cucumber, carrots and strawberries). If acceptable to you, I will offer fruit and vegetable snacks to your pet. Pet waste is removed with biodegradable pick up bags –we love our planet too! If you dog needs to be walked, they will be leashed and walked on my property. For your pet’s security, I do not walk customer pets off my property. My pets are precious to me and I’ll treat yours as my own. Your pet’s safety is top priority to me!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
You are so wonderful at caring for Sailor! He loves hanging with you and your sweeet pup.
Karen watched our Yorkie, Ruby, over Thanksgiving, and we could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful with every detail of Ruby’s care. We got tons of picture updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and Ruby looked so happy in every single one. Ruby is usually a nervous little girl, but she settled in right away with Karen and truly had the best time ever. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats her like family. We would recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
You are so great with Sailor!! Thank you for taking care of him.
Come rain or come shine, Karen is the best!
Karen is fantastic with Sailor! She takes great care of him and loves him like he’s her own. She always returns Sailor’s bowls clean and packs his belongings nicely. She’s the best!
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Karen. Charlie loved her from our first meet and greet and she eased my anxiety about leaving him everyday through texts, pictures and updates about how he was doing. She was the sweetest and most thorough and I can't wait to use her services again!

A typical day
Guest pups can expect to be doted upon and spoiled! Lots of hugs and love! My Oliver and Finnegan love friends so no one is left out or alone. There are plenty of soft and comfy seating inside and out! Plenty of pup toys! I have a park like setting for a backyard that features birds, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and groundhogs to provide lots of pup entertainment!
