Karen took great care of Benji, who had only been with our family for one month when we needed to board him. He loved having a fenced yard to zoom around with, and enjoyed playing with Oakley! I’d definitely hire Karen again!

Karen took such great care of our Luna when we were away for a few days & we’re so grateful!

Karen is absolutely amazing! She pet‑sat my black lab, Morticia, for 7 days and went above and beyond the entire time. I received daily updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her dog, Oakley, was the perfect companion for Morticia — they became instant best friends and kept each other happy and entertained. Karen treated my girl like family, and it truly shows. I will most definitely be booking with Mrs. Karen again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. She’s a gem and your pets will adore her!

Outstanding sitter! Our young chocolate lab played for hours on end and came home nice and tired. Her setup is ideal with a fenced in yard and her dog Oakley was a great companion while we were gone. 10/10 would recommend and will be stopping by again!
