Reviews
Karen and Matt were communicative and friendly. I could tell our dog Sadie had a wonderful time spending the weekend with them. We'd book again- thanks so much!
Karen was great. Our dog can get a bit anxious but mostly what he needs is to be active, and Karen spent a good deal of her day playing ball with Gatsby and giving him puzzles. Great match and we so much appreciate Karen.
Karen took great care of my two boys. Dex can have a bit of a spicy personality, but he settled right in. She even put down some extra rugs for Doug who can be timid on bare hardwood floors. I will absolutely look for Karen the next time I need someone to watch them.
I feel so fortunate to have found Karen and Matt! They cared for my girl Lindy just like she was their own. I can tell they really enjoy doing this and she was showered with attention. It was so nice to have peace of mind while we were gone. I got frequent updates, photos and videos and she clearly had a great time. She came home relaxed and happy and I’m pretty sure she would have been happy to just live out her life with them. 😊 I’m already hoping to book again.

Safety, trust & environment
My partner and I work from home and love an excuse to play or take cuddle breaks during the workday. I have lots of toys and a big fully-fenced backyard, and I can adjust my routine for both high-energy and low-energy dogs.
Home
Information Karen C. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know their usual routine and the things that make your dog happy, safe, or stressed. What behaviors should I look out for? Does your dog have any special needs? Does your dog know any commands? Where do they sleep? Are they allowed on the furniture?
A typical day
My partner and I work from home, so there is usually at least one person at home. We go for walks regularly and take play and cuddle breaks throughout the day.

Availability
Your dog's health and safety is my top priority! I have gates blocking doors to the outside, there are no toxic plants where dogs can access them, I have a fully fenced yard (lined with bricks in case of digging). Usually at least one responsible adult is home. We do not feed "people food" to dogs. We have A/C on hot days. We use Ahimsa techniques to reduce reactivity in dogs
