About Karen R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard. I also have several gates in my house to make sure they are safe from going upstairs or out the front door when anyone comes in. I provide whatever schedule your dog(s) needs. The more I know about your dog the better I can care for him/her. Meet and greets are great but if not available we can communicate on Rover so I will know what to expect as far as eating, sleeping, any health concerns, your fur babies likes and dislikes, activities your dog enjoys, how your pet interacts with other dogs and people on walks, etc.

Pet care experience
Top-rated dog care in a calm, loving home- your pet treated like family. Small Dog Specialist • Personalized Care About Karen Hello! Welcome to my dog boarding and doggy daycare. I’m a retired teacher and lifelong animal lover. Caring for dogs truly brings me joy, and I treat every pet in my home as if they were my own. My 12 year old awesome Alley crossed the rainbow bridge and she is missed greatly. Pet sitting helps as I love dogs and I no longer have a dog at this time. My home is a safe, clean, smoke-free environment with a fully fenced yard and courtyard—perfect for small dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I live in a quiet, established safe neighborhood which has many streets with little traffic so nice and quiet for walking dogs. I also have a stroller for dogs that no longer walk but like to go outside for a stroll. I specialize in caring for small dogs. First time to book with Rover you will receive $20 off. I will provide an engaging environment and will give each dog plenty of individual attention, affection , and supervision. I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have consistent care, companionship, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I will follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, sleep habits, or special care instructions. I maintain a limited number of spots to ensure each dog receives attentive, high-quality care. If you travel I have experience keeping dogs for long periods. I also provide daycare with extended hours if needed. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them. I’m happy to communicate through Rover and / or meet in advance for a meet and greet so you feel completely comfortable booking with me. I look forward to giving your fur baby or babies a safe, loving and happy staycation. Requested Information About Your Pet To provide the best care possible, please share: - Up-to-date vaccinations - Feeding schedule and sleep routine - Any allergies or health concerns - Favorite toys or activities - Personality and temperament - How they interact with other small dogs and people Clear communication helps me make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Notes to give me for a booking regarding their schedule and other important info is appreciated, but not mandatory. I hope I am the one you choose to care for your fur baby or babies. 🐾🙏🏻🐶
Reviews
Karen provided a perfect setting for my older Corgi. I felt quite comfortable leaving him with her.
Karen was great with Coco. She was detailed in his habits, eating, and care. She communicated well. It was a pleasure to deal with Karen. More importantly, Coco seemed happy with Karen.
Amazing sitter. Definitely our go to for our boy Haimo he always has a wonderful time when he's there.
Karen has taken care of our dog several times in the past. She is very attentive to his regular schedule, daily walks and play time. She sends frequent updates while we are gone. We would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her for future trips.
