We currently own our home with a fully fenced in backyard. Plenty of space to play inside and outside. I work remotely from home during the week and my partner is home during the weekends so there is almost always someone home to be a companion.

Pet care experience

We look forward to meeting all of your fur-babies! I was raised with animals all of my life, including medium to large breed dogs, cats, horses and a few other farm animals here and there. We currently have two brother cats (Achilles and Pacino) and a 9 year old Husky Shepard Mix named Riker who loves to go on walks so we are quite happy to take on your pups who might just want some extra exercise as well as those that just need a little bit of outside air and a leisurely stroll. As someone who used to work long hours, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust stop in and take your pup out for a walk or simply get that much needed potty break or social interactive play time. We are here to help!

Kari and Brian are absolutely the best!!! They cared for Jackson (our high energy husky mix) for 4 nights as though he was truly part of their family. They walked him multiple times per day and sent photos and updates regularly to reassure us while we were away. They also brought Jackson home for us the night of our return. We HIGHLY recommend them for dog care! 🐕

Kari and her family were wonderful, and our sweet pup came home happy and at-ease. Thanks for taking great care of Rosie, and for the photos which helped immensely while we were missing our girl!

We are so picky with who watches our doggy, and we know that Kari always takes fantastic care of him! He gets plenty of exercise and love while he is there, and Kari is great with communication and sending lots of pictures. Definitely a comfortable second home and family for our dog that we can use on repeat.

This was my first time boarding my puppy somewhere else. We couldn’t be more happy with Kari and her husband. Both treated Rosie like their own and kept us updated with photos and activities. They were able to accommodate us last minute and have been super friendly through this whole experience. Thank you so much Kari and Brian!!
