Karen is very accommodating and takes very good care of Charlie. She gives us updates when we’re away and send photos. Hope to use her again soon.

Karen was excellent with my senior dog — attentive and affectionate with Cyd and communicative and patient with Cyd’s anxious mom. I will definitely be bringing Cyd back for future stays.

Karen was a lifesaver for our last minute trip plans to watch our dog Ramen. She was communicative, took excellent care of our pup, you can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. 100% would recommend, fenced in yard is a huge plus as well.

Karen looked after our dog for the second time in two weekends this past weekend. She was incredibly flexible when our flight out was delayed and our return flight was canceled. Knowing that Trapper was well cared for in the midst of all the flight issues made one less thing we needed to worry about. Thanks!

Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of Marley! You are so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. The accommodations were so “ homey” it was like she was in her own home. She enjoyed Guinness, your dog, it’s good she had another dog to play with. Thank you, again!!

We recently entrusted our dog to Karen while we were away and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her home is a welcoming and dog-friendly environment. Karen's warmth and kindness were evident and we felt reassured that our dog was in caring hands. While we were away, Karen maintained excellent communication with us, regularly sending updates and photos of our dog engaged in various activities. Karen has a genuine passion for animals and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable dog sitter.
