Dependable, Devoted Dog Mom

Give your dog a vacation! :) Your dog won't have any lack of attention in a home of two dog-lovers and an adorable little mutt named Tiger! We both work from home so we’re able to give attention throughout the day. I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and being from the country, we'd usually have six or seven in our family at a time. Tiger loves all dogs, big or small - he's a real dog's dog. Whatever your dog's temperament may be - whether chilling on the couch, or going for a walk or run, we will be happy to accommodate. We only board small and medium sized dogs, up to 40 pounds. If your dog is larger, we are open to house sitting at your residence. Your dog will have lots of room to play and relax in our two bedroom, dog-proofed home. We are lucky to have a fenced in back yard and to live in such a walkable neighborhood (less than half a mile from town square). Since we work from home, I'm able to do multiple walks (or jogs, if you are so inclined) a day. I will also send you updates and photos so you can relax and rest assured that your canine friend is in good hands. Let me know if your dog prefers to be crated at night or sleep with us. We also have several plush dog beds throughout the house, but feel free to bring any bedding or toys that will remind them of home.

Karen was amazing with our dogs. They were happy, got lots of activity and were well taken care of. She also provided pics of our pups. Will definitely use her services again!

Karen is a very sweet person. She made sure everyone would get along with one another. She sent all kinds of pictures the days we were away. Overload of cuteness of the fur babies. ? Will definitely choose Karen again.

Lily and Louie had so much fun at Karens! They always come home looking so happy. It’s more like they went on vacation instead of me! Love taking them here.

Louie always has so much fun going to Karen’s house! He literally cried after I picked him up because he wanted to go back and play with her dogs haha! She’s going to be watching him for the third time soon and I always feel so comfortable dropping him off here! Karen’s the best!

Is your dog spayed or neutered? Up to date on meds and vaccinations? What are your dogs dietary habits? (What kind of food, how much & how often?) Is your dog housebroken? Is your dog aggressive? Is your dog on any special medication? If so, what are the instructions? Can your dog go on a walk at Walnut Creek? How often does your dog need a bathroom break? Any special requests (does your dog like to jog?)?
