WFH mom/family will spoil your pup!
Pet care experience
Please note: our beloved golden retriever, Charlie, has been diagnosed with a heart tumor and pulmonary hypertension. We are on a hiatus from dog sitting for this period of time while we care for him and give him all the love we can for the time we have left with him. We will update our calendar as we’re able, and look forward to a return to sitting when it is appropriate. Thank you for understanding. We are a dog loving family with experience from puppyhood to senior care. We’ve raised dogs from breeders and we’ve fostered/rescued. One of our beloved pups had a severe genetic heart disease, so we’ve dealt with medical conditions and the accompanying drugs and modified care they require. Through all of our canine experiences, we’ve learned that dogs thrive with consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love and affection. Our two retrievers are a huge part of our family, and we look forward to your pup falling in with our routines like he/she is one of our own.
Reviews
For nine days, Karen and Chris cared for our golden retriever, Loki. They provided frequent updates with photos and texts, which gave us great peace of mind. Loki had medications to take, and they were very attentive, even staying in touch about a dosage change and monitoring his comfort. Their care, communication, and dedication were exceptional. I highly recommend them!
Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!
I really appreciated the care Karen & Chris C gave to our 55 lb fur baby. Molly has a special diet and does experience separation anxiety. Karen was great at accommodating Molly's needs and provided regular updates and pictures of how Molly's day was going. Karen & Chris have a wonderful home and their 2 dogs are friendly and well behaved. We do our best to only travel in ways we can take Molly with us. That just wasn't possible over the holidays this year. When we can't take her with us, I will definitely be back in touch with Karen & Chris. Knowing Molly was in good hands really reduced the stress of travel.

We have a big, fenced in yard so the dogs will get plenty of outdoor time. For the most part, your dog(s) will have free rein to be with our family and our dogs doing whatever we’re doing — but we do have several crates and portable fences that we can use as needed to provide separation and quiet time. We want your dog to be comfortable and happy in our home, so we’ll work closely with you before your visit to make sure we understand his/her habits and routines!

Information Karen & Chris C. would like to know about your pet
We look forward to a meet and greet before your dog’s visit so we can confirm that our dogs are compatible, learn all about your dog’s routines and habits, and talk through all the details that will make him/her comfortable in our home.
A typical day
We have a large, beautiful backyard that’s perfect for doggy romps and playing fetch. Our family room has a full box of doggy toys ready and waiting to be played with. And we’re big fans of Kongs and Nylabones to occupy chewers/lickers.

Availability
I work from home Monday-Friday. Your dog(s) would spend their weekdays joining our two dogs either curled up at my feet or playing in our fenced-in backyard. On weekends and evenings they’ll enjoy the extra company of our dog-loving teenagers, who will spoil them rotten with walks, playtime, and lots of attention!
