I would love to spoil your furbaby!

Pet care experience

I spent the last 16 years taking care of the most beautiful wolf-hybrid husky whom was my furbaby from 5 weeks old to a ripe old age of 16. I have experience with everything from general care, alternative and traditional therapy, administering medications, to gourmet and raw food preparation. I miss my little man tremendously and would like to open my home to your babies as I have a fenced yard in the redwoods and a huge passion for taking care of animals. My husband and I also also have 5 chickens, but don't worry they are safe in their own caged run and are used to being around dogs. I am also available to come to yours if your babies feel more comfortable at home. I also know how stressful it can be to want to take a vacation but not want to "board" your babies. Finding the right person whom you will feel safe with and know that your babies will be taken care of is of the highest importance. I would love the opportunity to meet with you to set your mind at ease and to show you how much care, love, and respect will be provided for your babies while you are away. I've had four legged babies all my life and will care for yours with the greatest care and attention to all the details that will allow for them to feel safe and loved while you are away. I know how stressful it can be to be separated from your babies so I am happy to send photos/videos of my time with your babies to set your mind at ease so you can relax.

Karen is amazing with Cleo. Cleo felt at ease immediately and got excited when I took her back for her second stay. That really surprised me and reassured me that Cleo loves going there!

Our dog Sadie has stayed with Karen over Christmas for the last two years. Karen's communication is always great, she sends a lot of pictures, which is so comforting. She is very flexible and understanding (which is so helpful when you are travelling over the holidays). We highly recommend her!

Information Karen D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the breed, any history of aggression, food issues/allergies, medications, if the dog is spayed/neutered, if they can go to dog parks or beach areas, if they are potty/house trained, elderly care if needed, age, how well are they socialized, sleeping arrangements, current on vaccinations/shots, medical info, vet info and emergency contact, and general temperament.

A typical day

I have a nice sized house with a fenced yard but also love taking long walks in the redwoods, beach visits, in general just tons of play time and positive reinforcement. I generally do a walk in the morning, early evening, and later at night before bedtime so there will be plenty of exercise and cuddling. You can bring a crate, bowls, food, bedding, toys, etc to make your dog feel more at home at my house.
