Karen is super sweet to work with. Great communication. We appreciated all the time she took to spend with our dog while we were away. Karen paid special attention to his schedule and habits, and left detailed notes of their visits. I had zero worries that he was getting the best care while we were away. Our dog seemed very content when we returned.

Karen G is an absolute joy of a human being. She works very hard to be a productive member of her community, especially when it comes to her dog Moka. Karen trains with Moka every day to ensure that her dog is also a good neighbor. I'm very proud to be her dog trainer and her friend. She is trustworthy and kind. I can't think of a better person to take care of my own dog than her.

Does your dog have any anxieties I need to know about? How does your dog do on a lead? Is your dog reactive to other dogs, bikes, people, etc?
