Pet care experience

All-Day Attentive Care

I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well.

This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!

Doggy Day Care • May 22, 2026

Leaving a pet behind is never easy, but Karin made it completely stress-free. She was so kind, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our dog's routine. Darwin loved hanging out with Graham in Karin’s beautiful fenced backyard. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in our life looks like: Wake up around 8:00, potty break, breakfast House/backyard play I walk my dog around 10:00, and will take your dog, too, if dog is loose-leash trained and able to walk up to 2 miles comfortably. Otherwise, I am fine skipping the walk and letting dogs play. Around noon, lunch if needed, or small treat/snack 1-3 o’clock: Afternoon rest time, dogs can romp in house and backyard Around 4:00, I like to take my dog to a park to throw a ball. If you are comfortable, I can do this with your dogs as well. If not, we can romp and play in the backyard or take another short walk after dinner instead. 6:00 Dinner time! Evening snuggles!

Your dog MUST be treated for fleas, ticks and parasites in order to stay with me. Please be transparent with me and know that I will ask you what form of treatment you use. Your dog MUST be fixed. Let me know if your dog has any special behavioral or medical needs that I should be aware of, and we can discuss whether this is something I can accommodate. Questions I will typically ask potential clients: 1. Are your dogs fixed? 2. How is your dog treated for fleas, ticks and parasites? 3. Have your dogs been boarded or watched by other people with kids and/or other pets before? 4. Has your dog been socialized around many other dog breeds and would you describe your dog as friendly and tolerant of others?
