Karen was available to take Brooks at the last minute and he did very well in her care.

Karen was great to work with. Definitely enjoyed our kitties as much as they enjoyed her visits. Will use her again without reservations.

GREAT with our dog! She is a dog lover and gave Elsa the run of her home. Sent videos and called with updates. Would absolutely use her again!!

Karen treated my dogs as if they were her own. I feel very comfortable recommending her. I received pictures of my very happy dogs often which really put me at ease. I drove approximately an hour to pick up and drop off and it was worth it! Karen has a dog of her own that is friendly and playful. It was a pleasure working with Karen and I will use her again, and again.

I’m pretty versatile to meet the needs of your pet so you can be assured all is well while you are away. Any special needs are helpful to know before accepting a booking so I can schedule accordingly. Meet and greets are encouraged.

A typical day

Lots of pets, cuddles, play! This really depends on the dog. Some just want a leisurely sniff around the yard and some want a vigorous game of fetch. I can do either.
