Availability

we prefer no pick up or drop offs before 7 am (so the kids dont get such an early start to their days :) and no pick up or drop offs after 8 pm (so the kids dont get woken up and think the day is starting all over again😂) I’m very flexible so feel free to coordinate times that work for you. Our doggy guests fit right into our daily routine. We do walkies and rest time then additional walkies and rest time. They can play in the backyard and are free to enjoy wherever they feel comfortable inside our home.

Information Karin R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if the holiday rate is adjusting the prices. For some reason it sometimes lists each night as holiday rate even if only one day is the holiday 🙃 I would love to know the bed time routine and activity level during the day. Also, if your pup gets along well with other dogs and a cat. Please at this time no escape artists dogs. It is too stressful to manage dogs trying to constantly run off. At this time, I will only schedule meet and greets for clients who have already booked or are seriously interested. Thank you!

A typical day

We love going on long dog walks and playing frisbee or ball in the yard. We can take the pups to the meridian dog park if parents are okay with that.

Pet care experience

We have really enjoyed caring for all the dogs who have stayed with us. We love taking them on walks and cuddling them and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while their moms and dads are away. I volunteered at the anchorage animal shelter for 6 years so I have plenty of experience with many types of dogs and cats. I have had my own dogs for many years and adore my shih tzu and corgi. Going on dog walks is my favorite part of the day. We have a cat named Dumbledore who is a goofy fun sweetie. She mostly does her own thing. We love animals and taking care of them.

Dogs were well taken care of for our extended vacation. Karin provided daily photo updates of their walks and other random cute moments. Greatly appreciate her.
