Your dog's home away from home!

Pet care experience

When I started my sitting service through Rover, I never imagined that I would get so attached the dogs that have come to stay in my home as well as the friends I've made with their people! It is such a joy for me and my family to offer this service to our community. My husband and I both grew up on farms and have always had dogs to love and now we get to give our children an opportunity to get to know, care for and develop a love for dogs as well. We would love the opportunity to care for your dog either for an extended stay or just for them to have a companion for the day. We currently have one Shih Tzu, Coco (10 years). Our sweet Molly passed away in April 2018 after a long battle with heart disease. She was a spunky girl. Even though the Cardiologist gave her 6-12 months, she fought for almost 2 years! We miss her so much! So we are experienced with giving medications orally, topically or by injection. In September 2019 we added Jake to our family. Jake is a goldendoodle and currently weighs 55 lbs. We expect that he still has some growing left to do. He's going to be a big boy! Jake loves everyone-people and dogs. His favorite thing to do is play. We are convenient to RDU so drop off/pick up to and from the airport is a cinch. Ask about airport pickup if you're in a pinch and need a ride. *Drop in service available on request and depends on location* I am a stay-at-home, homeschool mom that can accommodate frequent breaks if needed. Our whole family loves dogs so they will receive plenty of love and attention. Your fur baby will be treated like one of the family while they are in my care. I have a fenced yard that they can run and play with Jake or find a sunny spot on the deck and just enjoy being outside.

Karen & her family are awesome host to Gabby. Gabby loves her stays with them. She is always happy when I leave her. I enjoy receiving pictures of Gabby during her stay.

I can always leave Gabby & not worry about her. Karen & her family treat her like one of the family.

Karen did a wonderful job with Zoey. The dog was I'll and she made an appointment with the vet and took the dog to be treated! Zoey was almost well when I returned. Karen is a caring sitter as is her family that I met. I would recommend her very highly and will definitely use her again.

Information Karen B. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know if your dog interacts well with other dogs. I would prefer to schedule a meet & greet with our dogs before your dog comes to stay. I would also like to know if your dog is sensitive to loud noises (ie: thunder, fireworks, etc.)

A typical day

I have a large, fenced in backyard for throwing balls and playing chase. I try to have your dog's stay here be as much like their home as possible so feel free to include their typical daily schedule.
