Farm life = FUN

Pet care experience

A dog is unconditional ❤️ FUN Fact APRIL: A house without a dog is like a garden without flowers, welcome to spring. Hello and welcome to my site. I am located in the easy to access Village of Bosque Farms, which is in the midst of all the surrounding areas: Albuquerque and Isleta to the north and Peralta, Los Lunas, Tome, and Belen to the south. My home sits on 21/2acres, fully fenced, with 2 indoor/outdoor kennel runs and a cute Dog House (please see photos). I so look forward to having the joy of your pup(s) at my home. I am a retired teacher and now work from my home office for our construction company. I am home the majority of the day. There are multiple play areas on the property. The property has old, mature evergreens and cottonwoods along with various other trees which provide for ample shade. I have fully enclosed and shaded dog runs. My guests enjoy plenty of free outside time with multiple activities offered: water play, toys, free runs. I have always had dogs: different sizes, breeds, temperaments. I have three dogs of my own. They are very socialized. My three big boys have all passed their Canine Good Citizen test. I participate in obedience and agility with my boys. I do require a meet and greet prior to your dogs stay. For boarding, I like to do meet and greets at my home as you can see for yourself the environment your pet will be in. Our daily routines are pretty set. I believe the dogs thrive on the consistency. I feed once or twice per day according to owners preference. Guest dogs are fed separately from my own. Guest dogs are both inside and out during the day. At night your dog has the option of sleeping in a crate, the dog house or the dog run. The dogs enjoy the comfort of the den like atmosphere, especially when in a new environment. Please feel free to bring your dogs favorite toy, blanket, etc. I do require owners to bring the dogs own food, as changing diets can cause stomach issues. Boarding is a 24 hour period (so pick up needs to be scheduled as the same time as drop off) or an additional fee will need to be added. Drop off/Pick up hours - 7 am to 7 pm I also require owners to bring proof of current shots and complete a permission to treat/veterinarian authorization form. My goal is to be a professional, responsible, caring pet sitter. I strive for transparency by providing open communication, and daily photos of your pet. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet. I look forward to taking care of your special one, keeping them safe and sound and providing a fun experience for them. There is no place a dog would rather be than down on the farm:.

Karen was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She regularly sent us a delightful array of photos, ensuring that our beloved pets felt cherished while we were away on vacation. It's always challenging to leave our dogs behind, but Karen's attentive care greatly eased our minds. We are definitely planning to rebook with her for our future needs!

Karen is an amazing pet sitter. My girls love her and somehow my male cat always horns in on the action when he hears Karen is around handing out treats! LOL We have used her for years while I was working full time and less often now that I am retired. I was so happy to discover her still on Rover! I have missed a lot of trips that I could have gone on because I don’t trust just anyone with my fur babies. No more since I now have Karen! Yea! Thank you Karen!

Karen did drop-ins for my cat and I have no complaints. I received updates and photos of the drop-ins and my cat seemed happy to get some company while I was away.
