Have Cavapoo, will play!

Hi there! I have been a devoted dog owner and lover my entire life. I understand that dogs aren’t just pets; they are family. Since I'm home full-time, your pup will get constant supervision, endless belly rubs, and all the attention they are used to receiving at home. Your dog will be treated exactly like one of my own. I live in a quiet, non-smoking home in the Acworth area. We have a spacious front yard —perfect for fetch or lounging in the grass. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, and I have plenty of cozy dog beds to go around. If they prefer their own crate, I can easily accommodate that too. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry best friend behind. I specialize in making your dog's stay feel like a fun vacation rather than a stressful kennel experience. I also provide owners with regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind! For stays longer than three days I prefer to bring my cavapoo Coco as long as the dogs are compatible. She is being trained as a service animal, so unless she is off the leash and outside, she is surprisingly laid back.

Karen is the first person I think of to call when I need help with my beloved Lady because you can tell how much she genuinely enjoys taking care of her. She's completely dependable, caring, and very experienced -- you can tell that by how animals instinctively respond to her.

Because we both work at home, we are always here. Your dog is never left alone. With your approval I may take them to the dog park to let them run - as long as that is something you enjoy with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a private road with only 3 other homes. There is almost no traffic so walking is relaxing and safe. Two of my neighbors have dogs, plus there are deer, armadillos, woodchucks, squirrels, chipmunks, and birds to entertain the sniffers and excite the barkers. My house is large and simply furnished with lots of spots for a nap and room for inside play when the weather is uninviting. I’m a Yale graduate with 30+ years working for Fortune 100 companies - I’m trustworthy and honest and you can depend on me to treat your home like mine (or better!) when I’m there.

Pets

A typical day

I’m an early riser and my first stop is to take the dogs outside for a walk along our private road. Then it’s time for fresh food and water while I have MY coffee. After chow time, it’s play time. Fetch and puzzles and lots of belly rubs and butt scratches. Another trip outside and then it’s time to relax while I get some work done. Depending on your dog’s needs, I’ll break every two hours for 20 minutes of walking and play time. This continues all day until it’s time for a longer walk and dinner. One or two more quick walks and then it’s crate time.

I like a meet and greet before accepting your reservation. My dog is part of my family and it’s important to me that both dogs are comfortable with each other and with me and my husband. Let me know if your dog needs any special feeding protocols, medication, avoid certain key words - anything that will make their stay more pleasant.
