Pet care experience

Our family loves dogs, and so does our Joel. I have had dogs all my life, and we love to adopt rescues. I also volunteered at Barlees Angels Rescue by being a foster parent. We have a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run and chase squirrels. Options in the housed to separate dogs at night if needed. I do allow dogs on my couch, love playing ball catch in the backyard, and playing soccer with my dog. If you do choose for our family to watch your fur baby, they will be given so much attention and care and love. My girls love brushing our Billy (Bull Mastiff, Labrador, Blue Heeler) every morning after they brush their own hair, and he melts at their touch.

I cannot thank Karen and her family enough for their two week care of Hobbes. They were amenable to a meet and greet to discuss his care. And, at that point I could see that he would be well taken care of. They updated me regularly with photos. He looked wonderful when I picked him up. Thank you

Our 2 year old golden had a wonderful stay with Karen and her family. We felt very confident leaving Stella in her care and would certainly do so again.

Karen and her family were great, watching our Finley over the weekend. They were extremely easy and flexible to coordinate the stay with and provided periodic updates (text and photo) throughout. He came home happy and tired from all the fun and play. We will definitely look to Karen and family for any future needs.
