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.

We were very pleased to have Karen look after Coco! She’s a very kind person, and you can tell she loves to take care of her pups. We’re happy to have found her.

Karen took great care of my Coco as always. She pays attention to details, and made sure Coco was comfortable. She kept me informed of how Coco was doing.

Our little Phoebe is treated like she is home. Sleeps in bed with Karen and gets lots of cuddles.

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.
