Karen takes such good care of Hazel and Khaleesi and followed care instructions well. I know they’re so happy to hang out with her and Biscuit!

Oscar had a good overnight visit with Karen and Biscuit. He enjoyed the fenced in backyard. They played ball and had a good walk. Oscar had been restrained in his kennel while traveling to the KC area so it was like being on vacation when he got to Karen's.

Karen took care of Maggie for us over Christmas. She kept us updated and sent pictures every other day. She had her for about 11 days. Which was a long time -probably for both of them. We feel Karen loved and cared for Maggie like her own dog. When we had our meet and greet, we felt very fortunate that Karen still had an opening to watch her. She has a fenced yard, which we do not have right now. And our girl loved running and chasing squirrels. She was able to look out the back door when she wasn't outside. Karen was easy to work with for drop off and pick up times and we will definitely ask Karen to watch Maggie again.

Karen is GREAT!!! We were nervous leaving our 3 year old blue heeler for the first time over night. Karen took such wonderful care of our boy for two nights. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I think it was also a a little mini vacation for Blue who enjoyed Biscuit (Karen’s big mellow dog). We love Karen she is the best!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a gated deck. My house would be open for your dog to roam. Plenty of beds & couches to relax on. I will tailor dog treats & toys to your dog. My dog is very calm. He has been exposed to many different dogs at the dog park & in my home. He loves to walk, sniff, & sleep.

Pets

A typical day

I love to walk. I have all kinds of dog toys for chewers, chasers, & tuggers. I like to get down on the floor and play or cuddle on the couch. I spend a lot of time out on my gated deck.
