Only watch for one family at a time

Pet care experience

We have no pets of our own, so we love to dog-sit for everyone else! We only watch for one family at a time and whatever they do in your home, they can do in our house. Our kids love dogs and our whole family will treat your dog like part of our family. We will take your dog for walks, give them a lot of attention, and follow your instructions exactly as you ask. References available. Will offer a special rate for two dogs from the same family. We have really enjoyed getting to know so many different dogs, and we have done a lot of different things to accommodate their needs! I have gone to pick up a dog to stay at our house when the owner didn't drive, we have brushed their teeth when requested, given medications, followed special diets as provided by the owner, and generally done whatever is asked to make sure their loved one feels comfortable in our home. They will be pampered and get a lot of attention! Dogs are allowed to sleep on our bed, if that is what they prefer at their own home. Big fenced-in yard and they are always supervised when outside. We're about 15 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport, easy to get to the airport after bringing your dog to us. (Some people have left their car at our house and took an Uber to airport and it was cheaper than parking at the airport in the long-term lots! You can leave your car in our driveway if you want!) We're happy to have your dog with us!

We have left Frankie with Karen several times now but this time was the first two week stay. It was hard for us however Karen made it easy with regular updates. She kept us updated which made it easier on us. It’s always a wonderful experience with Karen.

Karen was a great sitter. This was a return visit for us. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. She was able to handle my anxious dog with ease and even helped when our flight was delayed. Will use again.

Karen was awesome, from the meet-n-great to sending us updates on how Mac was doing. Will definitely be using her again for watching him!

Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet

Basically all we ask is whether or not they are housebroken, how often do they eat, and where do they sleep at night! The rest usually takes care of itself! NOTE: My Rover profile is set for 2 dogs at a time because we frequently get asked to watch 2 from the same family, but we only will watch 2 if they are from the same home. So sometimes it shows we are available, when we may have already booked with someone. I continually try to adjust my availability calendar.

A typical day

We have a great neighborhood for taking walks! We love to play in the backyard and will cuddle in front of the tv if your dog enjoys that. We follow their lead and whatever you tell us they enjoy, we will do our best to keep them happy!
