Karen was wonderful! She was very kind and warm with our gentle giant. We don’t leave our dog often so she takes some time to warm up to a new house. Karen was patient and loving. She also understood that my children were anxious about leaving our pup and provided updates and pictures.

Karen is awesome! Our boys love going to her house and playing with her family, which includes little boys and a kitty cat! We feel comfortable with the care Karen gives our boys, with happy videos and photos, regular walks and a fenced yard. We are grateful that Karen schedules quickly and easily. Looking forward to the next time!

Karen was able to take care of Sadie with short notice & also provided me plenty of updates. Sadie had an upset stomach & Karen was great at updating me on how she was doing & taking care of her

We have searched a long time for someone we can trust to watch our fur baby and we are extremely happy to say we found her!!! Knowing we can go away and not worry bc our pup is in good hands is truly invaluable. Karen is amazing with our pup and treats her like family, which means the world to us. Karen is quick to reply and sends us updates without asking. I can’t say enough how blessed we are to have her watch our baby ❤️❤️

Karen is one of the most trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable people I have ever known. She has such a natural way with animals—whether dogs, cats, or other pets, they immediately feel comfortable around her. Karen treats every pet as if they were her own, giving them not only the basic care they need but also so much love, attention, and patience. She is extremely dependable and responsible, which gives so much peace of mind to anyone leaving their beloved pets in her care. I couldn’t recommend her enough—any pet would be lucky to have Karen looking after them.

Schedule

I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.

Some of my favorite pet activities are taking our morning and evening walks, playing in the yard, practicing tricks, and snuggling up on the couch.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or desires that I can account for. My preference is for breeds that are well-socialized, comfortable around new people, and generally easygoing.
