Pet care experience
In Town Boarding -- Fenced Yard
I’ve had dogs for at least 30 years. I’ve raised four dogs from pups through their golden years. I understand the needs and care required for dogs throughout their life cycle. 💕

Ratings and reviews
Karen was the perfect day-sitter when we were visiting Traverse City. We ended up dropping off later than planned and picking up earlier, and our dog, Dashi, clearly had a good time, even in a strange house with someone she had never met before. I would give Karen my unreserved recommendation to anyone. I'm so glad she was available on short notice.

Karen was great with our dogs and her fenced in yard was perfect. She communicated daily and our pups were happy!


We had such a great experience with Karen! She was flexible, kept us informed on how our pup was doing, and took great care of him. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone. We would absolutely have our dog stay with her again!!

Karen was amazing. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. My dogs had an awesome stay in her beautiful fenced in yard. She sent pictures daily. Highly recommend and plan on using her in the future.


Karen and Birch were amazing. Karen sent pictures and took Josey on lots of hikes. The fenced in yard is great and Karen’s dog Birch was the perfect playmate. Communication was excellent. I highly recommend Karen.

Schedule
I'm home on the weekends and work part-time during the week. After June 9th, I will be home full-time for the summer. I love to get the dogs out for a walk at least once per day. Plenty of playtime in the yard too!

I have a fenced in yard an a friendly, gentle dog to keep your dog company. My dog likes to play with other dogs and nap in the sun.

A typical day
A typical day will start with a walk or some fetch in the yard. Depending on your dog, we can walk around town, go to the beach, or for a walk at Hickory.
