Pet care experience

Home full-time & large fenced yard

I have been around or owned dogs and cats all my life so I am completely comfortable with all types of dogs (large and small, as well as different personality types). I am an absolute dog lover. We lost our furrbabies a few years ago so I would love to play and care for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard with a wooded area that is great for your dog to run free and play. Because I am a stay at home mom I have a flexible schedule and most times can work around yours. My kids are great with dogs and definitely get their love of animals from me :) I am also comfortable administering medications as needed. Whether in my home or yours, I would love to be your go-to caregiver for your furrbabies!

Karen is the best. She made Charlie feel right at home and all the pics she sent us reassured us that he was fine so we could enjoy our vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. Thanks so much Karen. Charlie says hello!!!!!

A typical day

I have a good size fenced in back yard where your dog can run and burn off that extra energy. Part of my back yard is wooded so there is ample amounts of shade so your baby doesn't overheat; but I also have a deck if your dog is a sunbather ;) I am 3 minutes from a greenway which is very dog friendly. My neighborhood also allows for great dog walks. And if those aren't enough, my toddler sure will run the extra energy out! It's a win-win! :) My husband and I LOVE snuggling with furrbabies at night...so if yours is a lapdog they will receive lots of snuggles.
