Pet care experience

Love those furry friends!

Hi, my name is Karen and I’ve been taking care of people’s pets for over 10 years now. I love all animals. If I could have a bunch of them of my own running around I would. I have a three dogs. A lab husky mix and she’s a hot mess! She is doing very good with her obedience training that I’m doing at home. We have two German shepherds that I like to call my pound puppies because they were adopted from the shelter. They are also working in n manners and obedience training. I’m available for overnight stays or I’m willing to do drop ins to feed, water and take your dog out, change litter box and play with your pet while you’re away. If there are other pet needs we can discuss those as well. For the boarders, you’ll be at ease knowing your baby won’t be locked away in a kennel most of the time. They’ll have plenty of play time here with Ms. Miya in our fenced yard. Plus we’re minutes from the dog park and river walk for those nice days out. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby.

Karen was great with our babies! They both were excited to see us but could tell they had plenty of love and attention while we were gone!

5 star rating and beyond. We are blessed to have Karen care for Nash. She is amazing and runs a top notch business. Your pet is treated as family and they get to play together with other pets and run and play in their beautiful fenced back yard. Thank you so much for caring for Nash!

Karen is amazing taking care of our fur babies. During our first meet and greet, she made sure we felt very comfortable and let our dogs feel at home. During their boarding, she shared pictures and kept us updated on their day’s activities. Overall, it was a pleasant experience for our dogs as well us being away from them.

Karen was very accommodating for my girl and maintained communication with me throughout the stay. I will be using her services again!

Loui loved his stay with Karen! She took care of him as if he was hers. She communicated everyday with messages from Lou and pictures of what he and her dog Mya we're doing for the day! Wherever I come back to Indiana Lou will definitely be visiting Karen and Mya again!
