Doggy Day Care • Feb 08, 2026

Karen is an absolute gem! We did a meet and greet beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving our senior dog, Kuro, in her care. Kuro had such a great time with her, and we felt totally confident knowing he was in good hands. Karen was attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She also sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We’re definitely planning to rebook with her again!

Dogs and cats can freely move around home and I ensure a clean and safe environment. Plenty of space but structured in that I can keep a close eye on them to know all is well with their needs.
