Karen was great!!! Titus loved her and we plan to use her services again. She kept us informed and sent pictures daily. Thanks again Karen.

Karen takes great care of my Marley who is an anxious dog that needs special attention. I do not worry about him when I need to be away. I will continue to book with Karen.

Karen (and her family) were amazing. Nyx did not want to leave when we came to pick her up. Karen sent lots of pics and videos l. I dropped off Nyx with a swollen toe and Karen watched it closely and took action when Nyx was obsessively licking it and making it worse. Lovely back yard and Nyx felt comfortable right away. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Karen took great care of my Marley. Marley can be an anxious wreck in new environments. He was very happy and comfortable. Karen’s photo updated kept my mind at ease, and allowed me to see how well Marley was doing. I would definitely book with Karen again next time I need to be away.

I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.

Doggy Day Care • jun. 01, 2024

My grandog Leo was never comfortable in doggy daycare with a lot of dogs so my daughter searched for someone who takes one dog at a time. We were blessed to find Karen and Tom to keep him for 3 weeks during the day. It took a few days for Leo to totally warm up and when he did it was like home away from home. I highly recommend Karen and Tom to provide a safe loving playful environment for your dog(s). They not only love on your dog but make the owner feel loved too. Leo had such an engaging time that he beat me to bed and slept like a rock
