Doggy Day Care • Jun 17, 2026

Karen was amazing with my 2 little nervous rescue pups. They are usually anxious in new places but they fit right in at Karen's and didn't show any signs of anxiety. They didn't even really react when I left. They had a fun day playing with Karen's dogs both in the house and in the lovely back yard. They come home relaxed and tired - a sure sign of a good day! Thanks so much Karen for your sensitivity and calm approach with Molly and Ruby... they'll be back for sure!

Karen is a warm, caring, and responsible pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my dog, Layla, and treated her like her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Layla was in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

“I can’t recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter. She’s incredibly caring, responsible, and treats every dog like family. She watches my dog regularly and always goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She pays attention to routines, gives lots of love and attention, and genuinely enjoys being around animals. I always have total peace of mind knowing my dog is with her. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her looking after their pets!”

I have known Karen for many years and she has watched my dog. He was well looked over in good spirits and happy when we picked him up and during the I was a Karen sent me photos of him, that was so sweet. I would recommend Karen to watch your dogs.
