Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet

I love all shapes and size of dogs and don't have a preference for a particular breed. I would like to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, if he or she has any special needs (medical, dietary) and what makes your dog happy (walks. toys, a comfortable dog bed)

A typical day

Your dog will have a blast at our house! We have a great yard for playtime. We love to go for walks. Snuggle time watching tv.

Pet care experience

I love dogs and have tons experience with them!. I grew up with dogs and have had a dog in my life at all stages. For the past 15 years, I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue. This volunteer work has given me the opportunity to care of all types of breeds, shapes and sizes. I work out of my home so your pet will get lots of attention day and night. I have a large fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have a 9 year old Golden Retriever mix who loves to have playmates around. I’ll send you regular updates and photos of your pet though the stay.

Brody always has the best time with Karen! She sends thoughtful updates that make me feel so comfortable while I’m away. It’s clear he’s happy and well cared for.

Another great stay for my fur baby. Karen gives daily updates and pictures. My dog loves hanging out at her house with her pets. Will definitely book again.
