Pet care experience

Your dog's home away from home

Hi! I’m a psychologist with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral needs — and I bring that same empathy and awareness into the care of every dog I host. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I truly connect with them. I pay close attention to their personality, energy levels, routines, and emotional signals, so they feel safe, calm, and understood while away from home. My approach combines affection, and gentle care. Whether your dog is sensitive, anxious, energetic, or simply loves company, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is: for your dog to feel loved, relaxed, and emotionally secure while in my care.

Karen is a great sitter and I know that because of the tail wagging that happens when Sully visits her home. If my dog is happy then I'm happy and very satisfied with the care he receives.

We had a great experience with Karen and Jorge. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated, and were very accommodating when we needed a later pickup. Their flexibility and understanding were greatly appreciated, and it gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would happily book with them again.

Thank you both! We love that you welcome our dog with an open heart. He appreciates the attention and I'm sure he enjoyed the walk.

Our dog, Mina was in excellent hands with Karen & Jorge. They sent us daily updates on how she was doing and she was definitely pampered and spoiled during her stay. Thanks for taking such great care of her!

Karen and Jorge were great with our puppies Charlie and Emma. They are attentive and caring and took the time to learn about my dogs' routines to make sure they felt comfortable during their stay. They also provided frequent updates and photos while I was away. My pups were very happy upon my return. I highly recommend her services and will definitely use them again!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a calm, pet-free home with no children, which allows us to give your dog our full attention and care. We only host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care and a peaceful environment. Our neighborhood has plenty of green spaces perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Safety and hygiene are always a priority. Our home is kept clean, secure, and dog-friendly, and I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your dog may have. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

A typical day

At our home, each dog enjoys a balanced routine full of care, fun, and attention. We live in a house with a private backyard, where dogs can safely relax, play, and enjoy outdoor time throughout the day. This space allows them to move freely, explore, and feel comfortable in a calm environment. We are also located near a large park, which gives us plenty of opportunities for long, enriching walks. These outings are adapted to each dog’s energy level, age, and personality — whether they prefer active walks, relaxed strolls, or time to explore new scents. Inside our home, dogs enjoy a peaceful environment with constant companionship, interactive play, rest time, and plenty of affection. Our goal is to provide a routine that combines outdoor time, mental stimulation, emotional safety, and lots of love — so your dog feels happy, secure, and truly at home while with us.

To provide the best possible care, we kindly ask owners to share any important information about their dog in advance. This includes routines, diet, sleep habits, exercise needs, and personality traits. Please also let us know if your dog has any specific rules at home (for example, whether they are allowed on furniture), special behaviors, fears, medical conditions, or anything that helps us understand them better. The more we know about your dog, the more personalized and comfortable their experience will be. Our goal is to respect their habits and help them feel safe, understood, and relaxed while in our care.
