I am home full time with your pet as this is my business. They may come with me if I need to run a quick errand or stay with my husband if home. Very rarely would they be left alone.

At bedtime dogs sleep where they want on many available beds or their own, sometimes..... with us, or in crate in our room.

We had Karen take care of our two dogs over the weekend. They had a great time and I knew they were well cared for. I appreciated Karen’s attention to detail and her communication with us while caring for our dogs. I would not hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.

Karen is a knowledgeable and kind dog trainer. She gave many updates and I knew my pup was in great hands. She understands dog behavior well enough to give each dog an excellent experience that will reduce their stress and leave them very happy :) Baylee loved her stay.

Karen is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. She gave a thorough assessment of our mix breed puppy and has a safe and active home for our puppy to stay. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Karen was great. A reliable, experienced, and safe hands for our golden after recent surgery. She kept us up to date with texts and photos while we were away for 9 days. I would recommend Karen to others. Thank you.
