Pet care experience

Trustworthy and loving

I choose to not be a pet owner but love dogs. I get my pet time by helping friends and family as well as others who need to be gone and can’t take their pet along. I enjoy getting to know a variety of pups and I’m very in tune with their needs.

Peaches instantly bonded with Karen, and came home from her stay very happy. Karen’s home and fenced yard are perfect for a dog, and there are nice trails nearby. Karen was very accommodating about taking Peaches on short notice. We are glad to have found Karen!

Karen was amazing with our little guy! She took time to meet us and our dog before booking to see if it would be a good fit. During our dogs stay he needed to take a few medications and she kept on top of everything to make sure he got the care he needed. We got pictures and updates during his stay which made us happy that he was doing good and was happy and comfortable!

Karen was so kind and adapted to my dog's needs very compassionately. My dog had some rough days while I was away and Karen accommodated her so readily. I appreciate her attention to and care with my sweet little monster!

My dog seemed very happy when I came to pick him up. I did not hear of any issues during his stay, and I think as a repeat client, my dog has really acclimated to Karen's care. Would recommend!

Karen was a delightful sitter, who provided updates and gave good care to my pup. I appreciated that there were lots of green walking spaces around her home to have daily walks and I did not have to worry about him while out of town. Would have her watch my pup again in the future!

Karen is the best! She has watched both of our dogs - who are both full of independence and personality- and has been great with them. She's engaged, caring, and always makes sure the dogs needs are the upmost priority. Both Milo and Koda come home happy and tired! Koda was elderly and required some special meds and care which Karen was always willing to do for us. We look forward to the next stays with Karen!
