🧠 Enriching and Fun Dog Care 🐾
Pet care experience
I'm an active foster and have cared for many dogs, from puppy stages to seniors. I believe in providing enrichment and exercise to create happy doggos. I have a fully fenced-in backyard to let your dog(s) roam around, and mentally stimulating games to tire out their minds :) I like to walk dogs around the neighborhood and take them to the beach 🌊 Upon request, I can incorporate training during their stay and can address behaviors if you let me know beforehand or maintain any training you are currently doing.
Reviews
I am looking forward to using Karin for doggy daycare every week. She was so great with my new puppy all weekend reenforcing the training we are working on at home. Her dogs were so sweet with my puppy as well.
This review is based on my experience boarding my dog for 4 nights with Karin: This is the perfect place for a young energetic dog. Lots of friends to play with. Along with her 3 dogs, Karin often fosters and boards additional dogs. It’s a perfect place for a dog who needs a lot of friends, because they’ll never be alone! Karin responded quickly to my messages. She is also so kind and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her. She asked a lot of questions about my dog’s allergies, preferences, and training to ensure what I did at home would be similar to what she did while boarding. Likes: - secure backyard - daily updates - dogs are crate trained - no widows to the road = can’t see = won’t bark Struggles: - stairs down to the yard - magnetic screen to the outside (my dog struggled) - multiple dogs (can be a little overwhelming)
This was the first time that I left my fur baby with someone other than family so I was a bit anxious. Karin and Andrew were amazing. They took the time to meet us and Bulla and answer all our questions. I left there feeling good! Bulla’s stay there went great. Karin sent pictures and videos and was so awesome in keeping me updated. Karin and Andrew are my go to now! Thank you 🥰
Karin was a great sitter! Very communicative, really got to know my pup's needs and went out of her way to make him comfortable. Send plenty of updates so you know how he's doing too. Will definitely book daycare with her again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to ensure the safety of our furry companions so I will happily do a meet and greet first to provide an opportunity for you to see the property and get to meet my own 3 dogs 🐶🐶🐶 (they are extremely socialized towards other dogs) I have a large fenced-in/fortified backyard and a lanai for them to sunbathe and if they are roaming around the backyard it is always supervised I keep an eye on body language to ensure that everyone is happy and consenting to all interactions. I'm a big advocate for creating safe environments for new introductions + group play

Information Karin H. would like to know about your pet
- if they have any behaviors that I should take note of or things you'd like me to work on via training (time permitting). - any places you'd prefer I don't take them to (certain trails, dog parks, beaches, etc) - oral medications I need to give - any allergies I should be made aware of (I love giving treats)
A typical day
I like to take them out to explore nearby beaches and hiking trails! In addition to some physical activity I like playing games and can incorporate training upon request (this helps stimulate their minds)

Availability
I WFH and have 3 dogs of my own so I'm able to meet and support the needs of the pets in my care I am home most, if not, all day to care for your fur babies :) I do a minimum of two long walks a day and add enrichment exercises + structured play throughout the day -- with a sprinkling of hiking adventures and beach fun 🌞 I can also incorporate/maintain training if you let me know beforehand what your needs are.
