Pet care experience

Home FT, fenced yard & daily walks!

We have a large fenced in backyard and can offer daily walks in the park or on the greenway for those needing a short outing or some serious exercise. All dogs in my care will get plenty of TLC. My husband works from home and can attend to your pooch during the day; offering frequent potty breaks and treats as requested. We are true dog lovers! We have a five year old German Shorthair, Barkley, who is very social and has never met a dog she doesn't like. Your dog will receive great care and have tons of fun while with us. Will provide daily photos and texts so that you can keep in touch as well as FaceTime should you wish! Let us be your pup's home away from home!

Karen did such a great job taking care of Winston. He had lots of supplements and meds due to some medical issues not to mention his home made food. Karen kept on top of it and took wonderful care of my little guy. So very grateful!

Karen was so wonderful! She was so responsive and always sent pictures when I asked. It was a relief to know she was treating Rosie as her own. Rosie came back happy and sleepy!

I'm so thankful to Karen for taking such good care of Winston. I'm not sure he really wanted to come home from his little stay away from home. Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks so much!!

Temperament is important as we have a dog of our own. They don't have to be BFF's but must be able to coexist.
