Pet care experience

Play, potty, love & attention!

I would love to take care of your baby! You can feel comfort and relax knowing our family loves dogs and will treat them as part of our own. Grew up with dogs, owned 2 English bulldogs for 13 years and have dropped in many times for pet-sitting for folks on vacations, etc. I know how important peace of mind is when you have to leave your furry loved ones. I have flexibility and whatever your dog needs to be happy while you are away is fine with me! If they like walks or just want to play and hang out, etc. We live in a cul-de-sac, yard is not fenced, so all potty breaks will be monitored and on leash. Lots of neighborhood to walk if needed. We do not have a dog right now, so...friendly kiddos around after school to help give them all the attention they can get! We also welcome small stock animal care if you go out of town (rabbit, Guinea pig, turtle, etc) We have 1 rabbit with a spare cage on top!

Safety, trust & environment

Your baby is my baby when here! Our yard is large but unfenced. So all potty breaks are leashed and done with me. (And frequent as well). Can help crate train if you wish too.

I could not be happier with Karen. I actually had her take care of my rabbit rather than my dog and she did a great job. Great communication. Easy pick up and drop off. And just such a nice person.

Karen kept me updated with photos throughout, and her children helped my dog overcome her fear of being around kids. We were very pleased with the service.

We do have kids (who love dogs!) Is your dog ok to have lots of attention and snuggles!? If so, all will be well and they will all be happy!
