Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or considerations while you are gone. As I have two cats, it's best that your dog is comfortable with cats in the home.

A typical day

I am able to provide love and comfort, walks and a good game of toss. I understand that many dogs are anxious when away from home and their loved ones.

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.
