Ruff Life

Pet care experience

I am currently a dog owner of a 15 old male bichon frisée, and a 10 year old male English Bulldog, and a one year old English bulldog. We love taking them for walks and playing fetch, and tug of war. I’m happy to do this at my home. Growing up my family owned a dog kennel where we bred, boarded, and showed dogs. I have experience with almost every breed and can’t say there isn’t a dog I don’t love. I have experience with injections, oral medication, eye, and ear medications. My dogs are allowed on our furniture and are bathed regularly. I have clean feeding bowls, clean beds, and crates if needed. I have tons of toys and even offer dog treats! All I need is your dogs food. If you’d like we could arrange to bathe your pet too. My 2 daughters absolutely love dogs and always give extra attention on overnights with us. Im a stay at home mom and treat this as a full time job. I adore dogs and this is a perfect match for me and my family. We have a fenced yard, and have safety gates to separate dogs when feeding. I have Arlo security cameras set up in the yard and in multiple rooms. The pets are allowed to go anywhere we go. If you’re a first time border with us inquiring about boarding for more than a couple of nights, I recommend/require a trial overnight to make sure we are all a good match for each other. We do not take dogs who are excessive barkers, or diggers. If there are multiple accidents inside the home, there will be extra fees for cleaning.

I know Karen from the dog park, so I knew my pup would be in good hands. I got multiple videos and pictures, and my dog came home happy and tired. Will definitely use Karen again!

Karen and family took great care of our dog Bowie (Border Collie/Golden Retriever). She was so patient with our high energy dog. Great communication and I received updates and pictures/videos. We will definitely have Bowie board with her again.

I was so happy to find Karen on here for our busy puppy! She is very sweet and her family is great! Everything was easy, smooth and best part was our dog had a good time and seemed happy! Will definitely be using her again for our dog.

I am a stay at home, mom, and I am blessed to be able to take care of dogs full-time. And we usually feed our dogs at 7 AM and at 5 PM and they have tons of time during the day to play outside or inside.
