Safety, trust & environment

Inside, I have leather couches, tile floors covered with soft, non-slip waterproof pads for your pups comfort. There are also teenagers awaiting the opportunity to snuggle with your fur baby. There is no area off limits here. I have one small and one large crate if you prefer your pet to be crated during the night, though. Outdoors, I have a large, grassy, fenced in backyard which provides plenty of shady playtime and exercise for your pet. The yard is treated professionally for fleas and mosquitoes. I have balls, ropes, and frisbees for your fur babies entertainment, so no need to bring toys unless your baby has his/her own favorite ! To ensure no critters come in from outdoors, please pack your babies food in an airtight container. Don't forget the appropriate measuring cup for proper portions!

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

Although not necessary, I'm open to having a meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your fur baby in my hands and feel great about their living accommodations while you are away. Peace of mind is important while you are away handling business and even while on a vacation. When sending your request, please indicate whether you'd like me to book your fur babies stay, or schedule a meet and greet. Please let me know if your baby has any special needs or accommodations during his/her stay.

A typical day

I have two teens who love to run around and play with our fur babies. We have ropes, balls and frisbees for them to play with. We have frequent outdoor playtime and we often walk the neighborhood at night for a bit of extra exercise for the fur babies and humans alike! Please pack harnesses, as they allow for a more comfortable walking experience for those babies who like to pull when they see a squirrel!

Pet care experience

Hello, thank you for considering me. I have always loved and had pets since I was a child. I have provided boarding for family and friends as well as clients over the years, and now I am retired and home all day to care for your pets full time. My teens will be assisting and loving on your fur babies who will probably snuggle with them at night.

Karen is the best dog sitter one could ever have. She lived in Tn and moved to Ga. She was perfect for my babies because I AM VERY PARTICULAR about my frenchies. After having a hard time with other dog sitters in TN I gave up and recently I drove 400 miles to her just so I can travel and be at ease while I’m away and know they are in good hands. She takes your pets and love them as if they are her own. She follows all of the recommendations and sends plenty of pictures. I will use her again next month so I will be on the road with my babies taking them to her again. They love it there as well. She is the best..

Karen and her daughter are absolutely wonderful. I received updated photos and activities throughout each day. She always asked permission if it was ok to give ex a pup cup or bc they got dirty playing and if this shampoo was ok. absolute dream to have them watch your babies

Where do I start?! Karen and her family have been the absolute best! They kept us up to date daily on our pup and what he was up to. We will be booking again in the near future as we now view Karen and her family as a trusted sitter for our precious pup. Karen is very knowledgeable about the dogs and their breeds. I can’t give enough kuddos or express the great assistance she has provided us with our pup. If you want your pet to be comfortable and safe, Karen should definitely be your go to!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dog Sitter – Karen B! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen B! She stepped in at the last minute and took amazing care of my fur baby when I needed help. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule gave me so much peace of mind. Karen went above and beyond by keeping me updated every hour with messages and photos, which reassured me that my baby was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. It truly felt like he was on a vacation of his own! Karen B’s home has quickly become my fur baby’s home away from home. He was treated like family, and I could tell he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for pet and could not be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and incredibly attentive, I highly recommend Karen B. She exceeded every expectation, and I will absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
