Pet care experience

kind, loving care for your dog

I am an experienced dog lover and I will treat your dog as if they were my own providing them with kind and loving care. I will do all that I can to help them feel safe, secure, comfortable and happy while in my care. They will get plenty of fresh air, exercise and playtime. I am very careful to make sure your dog has playmates that are compatible to their personality and energy level. While your dog is in my care they will be on a leash or playing in my fenced play yard. They will not be allowed to run loose. Fresh water available at all times. Feeding is done individually and on your schedule. I have very flexible availability. Visiting dogs are housed in my climate controlled dog room which is attached to my outdoor fenced in play yard. My dog room contains 6 full size kennels with cots, beds and blankets for your dogs comfort. Usually very small breed dogs will stay right in my home instead of in my dog room..this depends on current availability and the dogs needs & comfort. I am a breeder of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. My Corgis are housed separately from visiting dogs. Although some of my Corgis do come to the play yard to play with the visiting dogs. I work at home as dog care is my full time job so I am able to provide 24/7 loving care on a daily basis. I do offer drop in care. This service depends on the clients and dogs needs as to what care is provided on a drop in basis.

All 3 dogs came back happy, healthy, and in great moods. I can tell they loved their stay with Karen. She took excellent care of them.

Piper loves playing with the other pups. Good place to take pups to play and release their energy. Piper always comes home happy and tired from all the playing

My dog loved her and she took great care of him! She was great about listening to my concerns since it was the first time leaving him.

Beau was nervous at first but Karen paired him up with another pup who made him feel more at ease. He’s been passed out ever since we got home. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing. My pups came home super happy, they were able to socialize and run with other pups. Excited for Karen to be our first choice when it comes to dog sitting in the area. 10/10 recommend.

A typical day

We will spend plenty of time outside in the play yard, playing fetch, tug or playing with other dogs so the dogs get lots of fresh air and playtime.

Karen can host up to 6 pets per night
All dogs must be current on vaccinations. I like to know a bit about their personality, how well they get along with other dogs and if they are a climber/escape artist.
