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!

I've had Jasmine since she was 7 weeks old. She's about eight and a half years old now. I've only left her with someone else, other than my niece who lives with me, one time. Needless to say I was extremely nervous since she's not sociable and can be a little aggressive when people come to our home, even people who have been there a few times a year her whole life. She also likes to bark a lot, at everything, and was doing so when we dropped her off. I was concerned that Karen was going to change her mind but she didn't. And much to my relief Jasmine jumped up in her lap and cuddled with her not very long after we left. She did keep her and Bella overnight. And apparently there was no issues. This was a last minute booking, as last minute as it could possibly be, and Karen was the first one to respond, quickly enough that I didn't even have time to send a request to two other people before she had already messaged me. We had non-refundable tickets to a concert so she really saved our butt. Her home is nice and clean and she is very polite. And whoever else was there, I can only assume was her husband, is very friendly as well. They even talked to us about the concert location, which was not very far from their home. Her rates are reasonable and I am very happy with her service. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Karen is by far the best pet caretaker I have worked with. She took such fantastic care of my babies. You can tell she loves animals and for me that is paramount. She communicates wonderfully, shared plenty of updates/photos, and her family provided plenty of love and attention to my dogs. I booked upcoming dates in the middle of my current sit, that’s how great she was! ❤️

Karen has in incredible space for any dog and was an incredible rover sitter. She sent photos to keep us updated and was extremely communicative from start to finish. Would highly recommend and will be back!

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.
