Hello, My name is Karen, I'm a dog lover, well, I'm really an all around animal lover! Actually my whole family is. I've been in enamored with animals my whole life. I grew up with pets my whole life and took a brief a hiatus from being an pet owner for a little bit and now have been trying to incorporate animals back into my life. My husband and I volunteered for many years with ASPCA in Jersey City, NJ and fostered many animals in our home. Now that I have children, I want them to experience the same love of animals that I had growing up, including the responsibility of caring for a pet, if we ever became full time pet owners again. You can rest assure that your pets will be in good hands if you choose my family as your host family. We will all be snuggling on the couch in front of the fireplace, they might not want to go back home (just kidding!) We look forward to hearing from you guys! Just as an FYI-all bookings should be in 24 hour increments. If you expect to run later than that, make sure to book additional hours to cover for the extra time your doggie will be in my care! xoxoxo, Karen
