Karen is wonderful! You can tell she really loves dogs. She has a big backyard and my pup had a wonderful time with her. Thank you!

Karen was very aware of my dog's needs and asked questions to ensure Honey was safe and happy. Karen also took photos of Honey during her stay, which was fun and assuring. We will definitely book with Karen again.

Super awesome! She went up and beyond for my dog while I was on vacation! She always updated me and followed rules perfectly! Thank you so much! I will definitely be using her again when I go on vacation!

Karen is so great! She is very kind and caring. Our dog, Angel, received so much love and attention during her stay. We got several pictures every day which gave us so much reassurance while being away from our dog for an extended period. We could tell that Angel was very happy there and made to feel right at home. Thank you Karen!!!

Karen is our go to caregiver, reliable, trustworthy, and prompt. She kept feeding and medication applications on schedule for our older lab. Karen spends plenty of time playing/walking and grooming pets and sharing pictures. Our dog was happy upon returning home. Karen is highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, there is a large fenced yard for running/playing, and a safe space indoor crate, for napping. Also, cushioned mats for lying upon. I ask questions, and listen. I try to make certain the routine of the pet is not disrupted.

A typical day

The pet owner gives me direction. I love it when a dog's personality comes out. We play games like fetch and gentle tug. We explore the yard. Balls, chew toys and treats are so fun!!! Also-belly rubs and snuggles:)
