Pet care experience

Fun and cuddles from the family!

My family always owned a dog when I was growing up. We do not currently own a dog, but during the past few years, we have dog-sat for several friends. My teenagers love animals and will provide most of the care for your dog, while I will oversee them. They have experience with feeding, walking, and bathing dogs of various sizes and temperaments, as well as limited experience with grooming. We live in a residential neighborhood and can take your dog out for walks during his/her stay with us. Our home has a fenced grassy yard in which energetic dogs can play with the kids. Calm dogs will receive plenty of cuddles and attention, too. There is usually someone home during most of the day, so your dog will not be left alone for long periods of time. We generally only take one dog at a time, but will take multiple dogs if they are from the same home. If you have special requests for your dog, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Karin was ready on both our drop off and pick up. She sent us lots of photos of our dog who was playing and enjoying herself! We would happily book with Karin again!

Karin and her family are the best!! Super accommodating and always kind. We think of them as our pups second home.

Mayson was excited to be there and had a great time. Photos that the family took were great and I didn’t worry for a second about hi stay. Thank you Karin and family!

Karin and her family were fantastic in caring for my elderly dog Brandy, who had some special needs. Great fenced-in yard, which was perfect for her limited mobility.

This was the first time our dog, Canu, stayed with someone outside our family, and we are very happy with the experience. Karin and her family — especially her daughter, who took care of him — sent us photos and daily updates. Canu came back happy, relaxed and well looked after. We would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!
