Do you need a Furry Vacation?

***NEW*** We now also have 2 fenced in areas. One is 50 feet by 40 feet and the adjacent one is 20 feet by 20 feet.*** I am a 40 year old stay at home mom of three. I have grown up around dogs of all sizes. I really enjoy learning the personalities of the dogs. Dogs have a lot of human traits the love of an animal is one of the best love types there are. I have two dogs and both of them are great big babies. They love playing with other dogs. I love waking dogs and playing with them. I feel like a little kid when I am around dogs. I brush them to make their coats look the best they can. I cuddle with them. My kids love dogs just as much as I do. They are a great big help with walking, feeding, bathing and exercising the dog. My kids are always supervised when they are helping with the dog. We have a huge back yard that dogs love to run and roll around on. I am a stay at home mom. I have a very flexable schedule and would love to work with you to find just the right schedule that works for both of our needs. I have a large field for the pups to run in to let their energy out. My two pups will help to make your pup(s) feel more comfortable. I will follow all instructions given for the entire visit in your home or ours. Pups are treated like family. I work from home. My schedule is very flexible to work with families and their pups. Sunday pick ups and drop off are preferred before 9:00am or after 12:00pm. With notice I will work with you with. I have a huge back yard. I offer runs if dogs are used to them. I have a 40 for lead line so pups think they are free when the are actually on the leash. I have crates if your pup needs one. We offer the pups, blankets, toys, snacks (if allowed), unlimited access to water, and the meals at meal time. Pups are allowed on the furniture if allowed in their home.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 05, 2026

Karen was quite accommodating with my work schedule and looked after my dog Nora on the 4th of July. When she returned Nora to me, Nora seemed happy to see me but also happy with Karen and her daughter. The pictures Karen submitted of Nora interacting with her dogs was great to see as well. Along with the progressive updates throughout her care. Thank you so much and I would certainty recommend Karen to everyone.

Please let me know of special needs (food, meds, crating, handleing ect.). I have no problem with giving meds. It is good to know if the dogs need to always be on a leash or listen well enough to run free. It is good to know if you allow your pups on the furniture. It is good to know if your pup is allowed to have treats (we do not give dogs table food unless instructed by their owner).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
