Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted, Active Retired Couple 💛
We've been caring for pets since we were both about 5 years old, with Gary's grandparents owning a farm & ranch in Montana growing up. Karen's family bred poodles since she was born. We're good at training puppies, and adult dogs as well. We love playing fetch much of the day with our Tilly and will do what your pet loves as well! We've cared for HUGE birds, tiny birds, chickens, cats, dogs large and small, rabbits, cattle, horses and pigs. We have also administered various types of medicine and cared for different types of infections, teaching owners as well. We love to snuggle with them and give them lots of attention! I, Karen, am used to cooking holistic meals for our dog and will care for your pet according to your instructions as well. We enjoy walking them, swimming with them and petting them often. They deserve it! They rely on us for their WHOLE well-being. Consistency is so important for animals so we will respect and follow the plans you lay out for them. We can also gather mail, water plants, do housekeeping, organization, gardening and more. Gary is a great handyman should the need arise during a sit. He maintains our pool and irrigation systems and makes any repairs needed. We're truly a great team!❤️

Safety, trust & environment
We are very attentive, loving and kind! Our goldendoodle Tilly is on a nice schedule for exercise, eating, supplements and only healthy treats. We keep her clean and always look her over for any wounds and whatnot. We keep a clean home with uplifting music for pets. Also, we're very cognizant of pet signals, like needing to go potty, play, snack, snuggle and wanting general attention. It's one of those things that you get blessed by for just BEING a blessing to them!💛
Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful that Karen and Gary were able to stay and care for our cat, chickens, home, and garden! They stayed for over a week and are 100% responsible and trustworthy. They are very kind, thoughtful, easy to communicate with, left our house sparkling clean, and our pets happy! They are wonderful people. We’d be happy to welcome them back anytime.
My dogs can be a handful but Karen handled them with a can-do attitude. She jumped right in and showed them who was boss. Not only did she walk and care for them, she sent me pictures everyday. When I returned home my house was spotless too, an added bonus. I would highly recommend Karen and will use her services again. She’s five stars all the way!

Schedule
This is our sole work so available most of the time! Of course it depends on the type of care you need and if it works along with another sit. For example, we could walk your dog daily and have an overnight sit that allows for a short leave for that.
