Now that I work from home full time, my pupper needs a friend! We'd love to meet your fur baby. Don't let my baby's size fool you, she's a huge lover. I would prefer my home but can make arrangements to come to you!

My dog is a free range dog in the house, but can adapt to changes depending on our guest. Definitely will respect your fur babies routine. We do have a dog park at my complex and would accommodate any anxiety issues. My 15 year old would give your baby extra attention as she is a regular Nana Nurse.

Information Karen R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, anxieties or anything that would affect your fur baby's well-being. And please make sure I have a buddy contact and vet info if you are not available.

A typical day

Puppers are taken out about every 2 hours. Before dark, we like to walk the trail behind our home, roughly 2 miles. We have a dog park on site too. Then of course nap time I'd appreciated in this house!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs, large and small, young and old since childhood and was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up. I'm a proud German Shepherd mama who would love to add a short term or extended stay buddy for Miss Ziva.

Karen was wonderful to work with for our last-minute family trip. We are so grateful for the first meet and greet and overnight stay with our two pups. She sent us photos, updates, and the extra steps to tidy up the house from the laundry and linens. We’re definitely planning to book with her again!

Our dogs, Boss and Calli, loved having Karen here with them while we were away. Our little dog usually takes awhile to warm up to new people but Calli warmed up right away to Karen. Karen took care of our dogs with love and she took great care of our home while she was here. She was also super flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend our time.

Karen was great with Nyah and Sasha. They had all the love and attention we would want. Everything was perfect.
