Paw Prints The Road To My Heart

Do you ever look at your dog and think how did I get so lucky...Pups to many our like children they get all the love you have to give...Like you the time I am with them I will love and adore them...I've almost always had a dog...My beagle Shelby 15 1/2 passed away on December 20, 2022 and Dante passed away July 4th 2020, I don't have the heart to delete them he was 11 and had been with me the past 4 years since I saved him from the NYC kill shelter on his last day...I trap cats have them fixed and find them homes, some stay (10)....I am active on house sitting sites and travel for sits whenever I have free time from work (photographer)...For years I have taken care of friends cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats and Rizzo the rat...

Karin was AMAZING with our pets! We were a bit nervous leaving our three dogs and two cats for the first time, but she put us at ease right away during our meet & greet and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying if they were being well cared for. Karin provided updates and beautiful pictures showing us how happy they were. 100% will ask Karin for another stay!

Karin was great with our two dogs (a senior and a puppy). She is very knowledgeable, understanding and caring. She keeps in contact with you while you are away with updates and pictures so you don't miss your pet(s) that much and it gives you peace of mind. We felt confident that we can take a vacation knowing our "kids" will be well taken care of.....and spoiled!!! I highly recommend her and look forward to contacting her again.

Since meeting Karin 15 years ago, through our shared devotion to animal rescue, she has been my go to person to care for my fur babies when I go out of town. She is extremely reliable, dependable, and conscientious with an endless love for all animals. She goes above and beyond in any job she takes on. I have no reservations in recommending her to entrust your home and furry loved ones to.
