I'm a cuddler and give dogs lots of attention and affection. I live on a cul-de-sac and other than a few neighborhood dogs street is very quiet. Don't have small children so house is very quiet as well. My grown up children who live with me also willing to cuddle and play fetch with our visitors. Have had multiple dogs almost all my life. Worked at Best Friends and familiar with many different breeds. I walked, cuddled and read to dogs while working there. House is pet friendly and I never crate unless owner requests it. My dog is very quiet but welcomes new visitors. Not a groomer but willing to bathe dogs if requested. Be assured I will treat your dogs like my own.

Karen is so kind as a person and absolutely wonderful with our 5 lb Yorkie. I would recommend her for any of your pup needs!

Karen was a perfect fit for my dog Teddy. She was so caring and kind. Teddy was rescued only a few months ago so he struggles with some anxiety but she was so patient with him. She also sent me pictures and messages to relieve my own anxiety. By the time I picked him up he seemed so comfortable and happy. We have already decided to rebook. I highly recommend Karen.

Tilly's previous owner has taken her to Karen for years. So when Tilly came to live with me, I also took her to Karen. Tilly loves staying with Karen. And as Tilly's mom, I love that Karen sends me periodic updates and photos of her time there when I'm away. Everyone I've talked with loves taking their dog to Karen. I agree and will certainly take Tilly there again.

Karen was most attentive and a perfect match for my 15 year old Havanese, Juliet. Karen understood the cadence of Juliet and let my little pal find her own spot in Karen's care. The surroundings, yard and atmosphere was welcoming and soothing for the my tiny visitor. Thank you Karen for understanding the happy place for Juliet and tolerating her desire to alert you of outside squirrels and pedestrians on the sidewalk!
