Karen is amazing! I have been trusting her with my dog for 5 years. When Mellie is with her, I know she will be pampered and treated like her own. I love all the pictures and updates I get while I’m gone. It feels good to leave knowing Mellie is so excited to see Karen, her family, and her dogs.

My dog, Kira, was well cared for during her 9‑day stay. I received daily photos and updates, and she came home happy and relaxed. She was clearly treated like one of their own, and communication was great throughout. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would book again.

Teddy and Rumi absolutely love Ms. Karen and her family! She is very flexible, reliable, and truly cares for them as if they were her own. I always feel at ease knowing they are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Karen provides updates and makes sure their needs are met, which means so much to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. We are so grateful to have found her!

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard is fenced, we have small dogs for play. We are able to crate your dog over night(if needed) or we have multiple dog beds for comfort. We will make sure your pet has a safe place to rest or sleep. If there is a time where dogs will be at home alone they will be separated for their safety. The safety and happiness of your pet in our home is our main concern. Enrichment is a part of every dogs stay. We have a large basket of toys for play and enrichment.

Pets

A typical day

I love to go for morning and evening walks. If your dog likes to walk they will love our safe neighborhood walks. If your dog is not a walker, we have a safe fenced yard to explore. Also, if your dog loves to play, we have toys for every type of play ready to be used.
