Highlights
Pet care experience
Where your pet is always home!
Welcome to my home! I’m living the dream as a full-time dog mom and I offer dedicated, professional and family oriented pet care in my home, my care is specifically tailored to your pet! I'm an empty nester looking to share her time and home with warm and fuzzy fur-kids! What I offer you and your furkid is an as-close-to-home-as-possible experience. Honest, protective and reliable pet parent who has raised both cats and dogs from babyhood to seniors. I take great care of my pets, with my oldest mixed breed pup living to the age of 26! I love to spoil and baby my pets, my grand-pets and the pets of my friends! I can offer your special fur baby the care you’d be giving when you can’t be there. I’m a home owner, have a safe and clean pet yard and allow allow pups to swim in my pool during their stay (weather permitting). I guarantee that your furkid will return home happy, tired and ready for a good nap! I have expertise in puppy training, behavioral training, elder care (and medicine) and can feed and provide accommodations to your preferences. My home is very pet friendly, with safety gates, and dog beds aplenty! All animals in my home are treated like family and by the end of their visit have made lifelong furfriends! Extra services can be added (grooming, walking or bathing) as needed for posted rates. Your animals will always be happy to see me! My pets are my family, and yours will be too! The primary goal for my business is to create relationships with my clients furkids so pet parents are comfortable leaving pets in my care anytime they need to. I love repeat customers! NEW SERVICE: pick ups and drops off available within 20 mile radius for a max fee of $25 fee (depending on distance) to and from your home. PICK UP: is expected 24 hours from drop off, extensions can be made dependent on sitters schedule at an additional fee of $2 an hour (per pet). Due to COVID-19 I will be offering virtual meet and greets prior to a stay. I can use Messenger, Zoom or Google Meet. I also offer contactless drop off and pick up if you'd prefer that. I am now also allowing face to face meetings held in my back yard. A well socialized and exercised dog is a happy dog! (Also, please know that my cats are “dog-raised” since birth and they are extremely dog friendly, so please don’t worry about your dog bothering them) Please feel free to contact me with ANY questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

Ratings and reviews
Karen was amazing. She accommodated our last minute request and made us feel so comfortable. She sent multiple photos and videos with updates every day. She implemented safety measures for the dogs which we really appreciated. The dogs had a blast playing in the pools! We will definitely be back.


Karen was amazing! She understood Leo’s anxiety and went above and beyond for him (and us) to feel comfortable. We definitely recommend. We received regular updates and pictures. We will be reusing Karen next time for Leo!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced and dogs are watched diligently when outside. The above ground pool my pool has a fence that prevents any pup from accessing the water without me present. Dogs are fed separately and there is always fresh water available both inside and outside through automatic waterers. All water play (splash pad or doggie pool) is supervised.
Pets
A typical day
A typical days is pups getting up and going out for the first potty break of the day, then everyone plays either inside (or outside) depending on weather. Pups will then all get breakfast, I enforce an hour period in order for pups to digest their food before they can play again. We will then have both inside and outside playtime and allow for pups who may need frequent breaks (my older or younger pups) dinner is anywhere between 5-7 depending on dog activities. I try to get all the pups settled by at least 9pm and get them ready for bed. Depending on parent requests, some dogs may sleep in my room on a dog bed or with me, while others may have their own rooms or kennels that parents would like them to sleep in.
