Karen took great care of Elsa. I loved getting the videos of her playing with Karen’s dog. She got a lot of excerise and seemed very happy

Karen was warm and friendly with both us and our dog. She sent regular updates while we were away. Our dog must really love Karen because she was barking protectively when I walked up to the door. We look forward to more visits with Karen!

Schedule

I’m a retired RN, current tie dye artist, and your pet sitter. I have an old farm house and 2 unfenced acres and it’s all dog friendly. I have long leashes so outside time feels unrestricted. My schedule is flexible and i live a simple life. Im strong and healthy and i have no problems handling large dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding: I don’t have a fence yet but I do have tie outs and all outside time is supervised. I have a friendly golden retriever who would love to have friends come visit. He alters his behavior to meet the needs of your dog. A crate is available if needed but not routinely used. Boarding is homestyle.

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

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.
