Pet care experience

Let's walk! ☺

I've been around animals my whole life. When I was small, I had a huge fear of dogs, but I was able to overcome it and open up a whole new passion for animal companionship! Even my small allergic reactions to kitty scratches don't stop me from getting up close and personal. 100% an animal lover!! I am a new mom this year and can't commit to my own pet quite yet, but I would love to help you take care of yours!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a larger apartment, and a nice fenced patio, just me and my son. I do not mind keeping the animals 100% integrated in the spaces or if they prefer, more separated. . There is a dog park located in the complex and I also live directly across the street from a large community garden and park with a nice walking path throughout. I do have a small 5 month old male cat but he is up to date with all vaccinations and various spaces he can be safe and happy if not compatible with the boarding situation:)

Karen did an amazing job with our boy Cooper! She was able to accommodate us on very late notice before the holiday as Cooper developed a cough and we had to cancel our original boarding plans. She was so helpful and send us to many updates!

Karen was great! Kept us really informed throughout with texts, pictures and videos. She was so understanding when my pups anxiety got the best of her and she became a bit of a menace getting into food. Would absolutely book Karen again!

Having a two year old as a single parent is quite the adjustment, but we are a very active household! We walk everyday and have plenty to keep us busy indoors if the weather isn't very permitting!

I definitely want to know if your pet has any special needs that I should be aware of or even unique preferences when it comes to their care!
