Pet care experience

I foster, rehab, dog sit, help with issues and work with dogs. I have a lot of experience working with dogs. Sometimes people have brought dogs to go stay with me to help socialize etc. Sometimes they come for the weekend and I can work on some issues. I also work a lot with the fosters and rehabs that come to me. My dogs are used to the different company that comes for sleepovers etc. Sometimes I also work with new owners of adopted dogs to help them with issues they came with. When your dog comes to sleep over here, they get to play with other dogs, play in our big fence backyard. I'm happy to do baths, nail trimming work on issues they might have etc. I treat your dogs as I would treat my own and mine are pretty special to me. I send pictures and videos. I also like to do a meet and greet beforehand, unless there's extenuating circumstances to know where your animal will be and be comfortable knowing where they are. Please completely fill out your profile and profile of your pet. It helps Ensure a good fit for dog and sitter. We crate dogs when not supervised. I work from home, so I have the time and flexibility to spend a great deal of time with your pet. Frequent time outside and potty breaks. We do have a splash pad and a doggie pool. We will put those up on hot days for any of them that like to cool off in the water.

Karen and Gunnar always take great care of my dog. My dog loves getting to stay there with her fellow dog friends when I have to travel. She loves the back yard and the amount of play time, and always sleeps hard once I pick her up. Highly recommend.

As always, Karen and Gunnar were great! I have a leash reactive dog and a timid dog. It is always reassuring leaving my crazies with them, knowing they will be well cared for! Thanks!!

Work from home, that means more time outside playing with each other. That's when they have a lot of fun. Please have your profile completed before sending a request. I also require up-to-date shot records as well as current flea and tick preventative. All of this helps ensure a good fit for everyone.
