Karin really came through for us and our pup on a last minute booking. After a meetup with her and her dog we determined that she would be a great fit to care for our little guy. Karin was responsive and sent photo updates regularly throughout the stay. This helped to put us at ease since it is a new puppy to us and a very young dog. Can’t recommend Karin enough and we are grateful to have found someone so close to us that we can hopefully use in the future! Thanks again!

Karin was very accommodating - especially for this for this nervous dog mom! Our boy had a great time and Karin kept me updated the whole time with texts and photos!

This is my 3rd time leaving my pup with Karin and each time my dog has come home happy! I can tell he has been well cared for. She sends me pictures daily and treats my dog like he’s her own. I highly recommend Karin!!

Thanks for having Coop. He always has a great time at your house and is very excited when he gets there.

Karin is the best!!! She has a calm, inviting home that made my dog feel right at home. When he got home, he was happy and I could tell he had the best care. And I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay, especially because this was his time in her home. Thank you Karin!!

Schedule

I work from home during the days I "rover" and so your pet will be well taken care of and their needs well managed. Because I have my own dog, your pup will be allowed to join us for our daily car rides with the window down, long walks (at least 2x daily) and if the weather is nice, a splash or two in the kiddie pool.
