Loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I can ensure you that your pets stay with me will be fun, and active. I enjoy running, hiking, cross country skiing (dog trail) and the strolls along the river. As important are just quiet times together in a caring environment. I am a lifelong lover of animals (dogs, cats, horses – you name it), and a pet owner for my whole life. As a teenager, I worked in a veterinary clinic as a part-time job. Although that didn’t become my profession, animals have always been my passion. My home is very pet-friendly with a beautiful sized yard fully fenced. I have a very friendly 7-year-old Irish setter who loves company. My working hours are flexible outside the house (self-employed), but the longest I would be away is five hours and not daily.

Karen took great care of my dog for a weekend. She sent lots of pictures and responded quickly to any communications.

Karen is everything you want from a dog boarder. A super dog lover. Honest, quick, and appropriate with communication. Obviously knows dogs, knows how they get along with each other, and accommodates for these needs appropriately and safely. Adjusts to the client/owner's schedule. And lots of dog pictures sent via text, which was lovely! I will certainly bring our pup to Karen again!

Karen is excellent. My dog was treated like one of her own and I could not be happier. Will definitely use her services again and I would definitely recommend Karen to others. Daily photos and updates were much appreciated ?

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dog's regular daily routine, and what makes your furry baby the happiest. If there are any special considerations, medication, allergies, not spayed or neutered, etc. What are your essential command words and nickname words that you use? Does your dog has and behavior quirks (they all do)? Such as separation anxiety, very vocal, pulling, ability to get along with other dogs and children, or even silly things like carrying the food bowl around.

A typical day

Walking along the path on the river, cross country skiing on the dog trail, hikes at Kamview, Centennial park, and Mt. Mckay.
