About Karen E.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
The safety, comfort, and happiness of your pup(s) are my three top priorities! Guest pups are always cared for as if they are part of our family. I will be sure to provide you with consistent updates throughout their stay, and my goal is to stay in touch with you periodically, provide you with a worry free experience, while also giving reassurance that your pup(s) are being well cared for. Updates will include a personalized message, pictures, or perhaps a short video to help you feel connected while you're away. When your pup(s) vacation with us in our home, you can rest easy knowing they will have a safe, fun, and interactive stay! --- Special Care Exceptions : I'm currently unable to host pets with any of the following special care requirements or conditions due to safety. These include pets with high separation anxiety, aggression towards new people or other dogs, pets with a contagious disease, pets with serious injury or illness, pets with epilepsy or seizures, pets that require "injected" medications such as insulin, pets unable to walk or stand without assistance, senior pets not in good overall health, pets that are exclusively pee pad trained indoors (unable to potty outside), and lastly pets that are required to be the only pet in the home due to owner preference. Thank you for your support and understanding. Special Breed Exceptions : I'm currently unable to host the following breeds : German Shepherd, Vizla, Great Dane, Akita, Rottweiler, Boxer, Labrador Retriever, Belgian Malinois, Doberman Pinscher, Weimaraner, Alaskan Malamute, Cane Corso, Anatolian Shepherd, and Rhodesian Ridgeback. Thank you for your support and understanding. ---

A typical day
Pups have full access to our three bedroom home which includes plenty of space for them to relax and play. If they are the more calm and quiet type, i'm happy to provide them with a more relaxed stay setting by ensuring they have their bed, blanket, or favorite toy nearby. We also do one on one play time with their own toys throughout the day as well if thats something they would enjoy. With your permission, pups may also have an opportunity to meet and play with a new friend about their size. All playtime interactions are supervised to ensure safe, fun, and friendly play! Our backyard area is secure, spacious, fully fenced, and well maintained. I do always accompany guest pups when we go out to the yard. I'm also able to work with puppies that are still potty training by using positive reinforcement and repetition. If you do treat training for your puppies good potty habits, please provide the treat of their choice and I will ensure they stay on their routine. All guest pups are provided with fresh water throughout the day for their enjoyment. Pups will only have access to the food, toys, and treats that you provide for them throughout their stay. Safety is always top of mind.
