Caring for your dog

I work from home and am available throughout the day to provide companionship and keep an eye on your buddy. My yard is fenced in and I enjoy playing with and caring for dogs. I have two dogs- a 15 year old toy fox terrier that is 7 pounds and a 1.5 year old Cavachon that is 20 pounds . I can only accept dogs that are crate trained and will sleep in their crate at night.

My dogs like Karen and enjoyed having her stop by to let them out out in the yard to play a little fetch and stretch their legs.

Super friendly and nice, accommodating to my puppy and his needs, easy to communicate with. Her and her husband are very knowledgeable, so I was never worried about my puppy despite it being his first time away from us.

Karen is great with pets! She has enjoyed caring for her, her friends and family’s pets. Her dog Cheech gets tons of affection and frequent walks. It’s easy to tell her dog feels loved. I highly recommend Karen for boarding your dog. She provides exceptional care and superior cleanliness. She is attentive, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for pets. A real a top-notch choice for dog boarding.
