Heaven for Hypo Allergenic Pups!

Pet care experience

I love and have had dogs ALL OF my life (in spite of allergies) and am now in my "young" senior years and pet free. I travel to see my children so am not willing to make a full time commitment to a pup of my own. I am committed to being available to my clients,so I work with Tracy who will pup sit at my house while I am away. She's wonderful! I have potty trained dogs, obedience trained dogs and taken dog agility courses with dogs. I have nursed ill dogs suffering from insulin dependent diabetes, pancreatitis, cancer and a host of other more mild maladies. One of my fondest memories was our blind pup who had the cutest way of playing fetch. I am just a dog lover regardless of the condition they are in and am competent in caring for them. As I indicated earlierI am allergic and therefore am only caring for "HYPO ALLERGENIC" pets. Sad about that :(

Karen did an amazing job watching our dog, Charlie. She proactively sent updates and photos, and she was very responsive as well. We would absolutely book another stay!

Auntie K was our choice to leave our beloved Wheaton Terrier, Lena for the first time. We had a meet and greet first and were comfortable immediately. She has a great set up for boarding dogs in her home and plenty of space including a fenced in area in the back. The communication throughout the boarding time was excellent. We could definitely see that Lena loved it there and was well treated. Our stress on boarding her for the first time was replaced by a feeling of relief and gratitude. We will definitely use Auntie K again! Thanks so much!

Information Karen G. would like to know about your pet

I will want to know as much as possible about your pet. Likes, dislikes, meal times, food preferences, bed time, other daily routines , medications and anything you think will be helpful to make them feel at home. Please bring along your vaccination info when we first meet. Due to several factors I am only able to accommodate dogs that do not shed.

A typical day

We will walk, play, veg out on the sofa, cuddle, if they are here alone, we can arrange playdates if your pup likes to socialize. There are many beautiful parks with trails in the area. If not a walker, I have been know to put the adventurous guests in a stroller as well.

When your pet stays with us they will be visiting me,"Auntie K" and/or Ms. Tracy. Pet care is my only business, and those staying at "Auntie K's" are my number one concern. While they are here we will do whatever THEY like, (within reason of course). It may include spending time playing around the house, romping in the yard, walking local trails, exercising, pampering, or just plain relaxing. We are at max with 4 dogs. Two dogs each. We have separate living areas where we stay with our "guests". The sleeping arrangements are dependent on each unique situation. Generally we ask that you bring their bed. They seem to feel more at home that way. We have playtime for all that like to socialize in the fenced yard or larger common areas. We will work with dogs that need 1-1 care when possible for an individual fee. Again, we will individualize your pup's care and focus on whatever your pets enjoy most. We want to keep them happy, healthy and stress free while their loved ones are away. I am often told that my home and property are somewhat "resort like". Come see what you think!
