Highlights
Pet care experience
Quiet house with a sunny yard!
As a pet parent, I have experienced firsthand the drastic difference between boarding in a home versus a kennel for the health and well-being of my dog. Staying in a home environment is all-around less stressful. I’m happy that I can open my home to taking dedicated, individualized care of one or two dogs at a time. I can’t wait to meet your pup!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
such a pleasure for mochi to stay with karen and ben! they are consistently some of our go-tos!
Rusty had a blast, as always!
Karen is great, I always feel safe and at ease when Efv is at her house. She recently cared for him the day before CCL (that's doggy ACL) surgery and she took great care in making sure she knew how to care for him with limited mobility. She is reliable and pleasant!
A great stay as per usual! Mochi had a fantastic time sun bathing with his buddy Ginsburg and also got to enjoy a long hike with Karen and Ben. Thanks again!
Another great stay! Rusty is always so excited to go to Karen’s!
Thank you Karen and Ben! A wonderful stay again, as usual!

Schedule
I work from home, so your pet will have companionship throughout the day. My typical work hours are 9-4, but I take breaks to play with the dogs often.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will provide a consistent routine and safe environment for your pet. We usually watch dogs that are between 30-60 lbs that have been socialized enough to get along with other dogs. For new clients, booking a one night stay is a good way to check compatibility. I don't take dogs to dog parks or let them off-leash due to safety concerns.
A typical day
Our typical routine is dogs are let out at 8am, at 10am they get a treat and playtime. We do a neighborhood walk around 4 pm and dinner at 6 pm. We also take dogs to local parks on the weekends, Albany Bulb, Pt Isabel, Tilden, Sibley, or Redwood Regional if they are able to walk 4 miles.

- Please be upfront about any behavioral challenges you have with your dog. I can do basic positive reinforcement training for things like leash reactivity. I can also recommend an excellent dog trainer and other resources.
