Pet care experience

Hamptons of Hamburg Doggy Clubhouse

Hello, I am a long time animal lover and would love to welcome your pet to our home. I grew up with dogs and have done a great amount of pet sitting and walking. I am comfortable with accommodating just about any of your pet's needs whether that is walking, socializing, feed and playing with them. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes (from toy to x-large size), ranging from a couple of months old to 12 or more-year-old dogs.

Karen and Eli treat Murphy as their own when in their care. We are so thankful and grateful for them!

It is with much enthusiasm that I share our experience working with Karen. After reading her profile, my husband and I were confident that we found the right person to love on our pup! Karen was warm and inviting from the moment we arrived. She was wonderfully attentive to our pup's needs. Her communication was excellent throughout. She updated us with pictures of our pup, which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our getaway. She also provided us with daily communication about our pup's activities. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our minds were at ease knowing our girl was in great hands and being well taken care of. I cannot recommend Karen enough!

This was our first time using Rover and will NOT be the last! Karen and Eli were amazing, to say the least. They made my girls feel right at home and sent many photos on how they were doing throughout the day. I will definitely be using them again!
