We Love Dogs! Let us care for yours

Having raised 8 dogs over 40 years, we know dogs and would be honored to keep yours. We have a home ready to care for your furry family member. For the first time in 40 years, we don't have a pet of our own. Or sweet dog recently passed away and we miss the love an animal brings to the home. We have cared for and kept the dogs of friends and family members over the last couple of years and realize people need a trusted place for their pets. We fit that bill.

When your dog sprints to the door of Gary and Karen’s home, you know you’ve found the perfect Rover match! Blessed by the care of this couple!

Gary and Karen were fantastic, flexible dog sitters! They took such great care of our Labrador Penny, keeping us updated with photos and making sure everything felt stress-free while we were away. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

Blue just had a wonderful stay with Karen & Gary. It gave us peace of mind during our travels knowing she was in good hands. Blue absolutely loved roaming their backyard. From the first time we met Karen and Gary it was obvious they are "dog people". Two weeks is a lengthy Rover stay but we were kept abreast with how Blue was doing with texts and photos. I look forward to having Blue stay with Karen and again.

Karen and Gary were beyond awesome. Professional, kind, and caring. Spot on communication and updates, and Tami and I felt amazingly comfortable leaving Aspen with them during our extended vacation. I would highly recommend Karen and Gary to anyone with a pooch that needs watching.
