Karen took amazing care of my sweet pup while I went on a family trip. She has a great set up for watching pups. Hazel ate all of her meals and enjoyed some spoiling. Communication was great. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again.

Karen came through in a pinch with our old boy. A big shout out for the extra care. 😀🐕

Karen is always great with our dog. Our dog requires some special attention, and Karen is always great with her as well as keeping us updated with messages and pictures!

Karen was simply amazing. She took wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. And we would absolutely have her watch Daisy again. Karen offered Daisy healthy treats throughout her stay (after making sure it was okay with us). She sent pictures and updates everyday. Daisy was often cozy, comfortable, and snuggled up. Overall, it was obvious to us that Karen is a real animal lover. We are so grateful to have found her.

Our Riley was in good hands at Karen's. A very nice and comfortable home away from home. Daily photo was a plus. Thank you.🐈‍⬛
