Pet care experience

I live in a 3 bedroom house in Itasca. There is a great park less than a block away from my house for walking or throwing a ball. I have a dog friendly cat named Button. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible in my home. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make that happen. I am open to many kinds of special requests. I would love to set up a meet and greet before booking any stays to make sure my dog gets along with your pet. I am a local teacher and will be available for walks at lunchtime during the school year and anytime during the summer.

Karen is great. She is super caring and sends many photos. We love leaving our dog with Karen because we know she will be treated like one of the family.
