I take great care of your Pups

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Karin. I am a happy gal from England who loves her tea & Corgis I work from home as a Corporate Recruiter M-F/ 8-5 but I’d love to care for pups mostly over weekends & holidays, depending on my workload, I could take your pup through the week too;. When my two Corgies passed away after 15 years with me, I suspended my Rover work for a while. But I simply cannot live without a dog, so a year ago I rescued Pepper, she is a 3-year-old G. Shepherd Border Collie Mix and is very friendly with other dogs. I'm now ready to help take care of Rover dogs once again. I have a 3-bedroom house with a very secure fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of room for dogs to safely play outside or with their toys inside. I make sure that all dogs in my care are friendly and I do not tolerate any aggressive or territorial behavior. Should this occur I will separate them and they will not be allowed to return To ensure happy neighbors I cannot accept dogs that excessively bark or have separation anxiety from their owners. I limit the number of Dogs I care for to provide them with lots of personal attention. I am always home to supervise every dog that is here and I never leave a dog home alone. Dog boarding comes with plenty of pictures and updates while you’re gone to keep your mind at ease. Dogs are walked once during daycare and twice a day when they stay overnight! Leaving your furry friend with another person can be scary! It is so important to know that they are being loved and taken care of when you’re not there. That is exactly the peace of mind you can expect with my doggy services! One last thing, If your dog is scratching a lot, I need to be certain it's not due to Fleas. I had a bad experience with this in the past when the owner told me it was only a skin allergy, but I was left with a very bad flea infestation. Thank you for your understanding. I want all dogs to arrive happy & healthy and leave the same way.

Thank you Karin for taking such good care of my dogs!! All I wanted was someone who would treat them nicely and with care and compassion and Karin is that person! It’s so hard to leave them but she makes it easier.

We take our dogs to Karin’s house for occasional sitting and have always had a great experience with her. She is incredibly loving and thoughtful. We are so grateful for her!

We love Karin’s doggy daycare! Sometimes there are other pups there, sometimes there aren’t, but our girl always comes home tired!! It is soo nice not to have to worry about her, especially after being home with her for so long and now going back to the office. She loves being at Karin’s!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a single level 3 bedroom house with secure back yard. When walking I never let a dog off their lease. The only exception would be in a fenced-in dog park if the owner approves of going to dog parks, and their dog obeys basic verbal commands. During Overnight stays I enjoy quiet evenings on the couch with lots of cuddle time.

Information Karin S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know what your dog’s temperament is and whether there are any territorial behaviors. I always ask about any allergies a dog may have, as well as specific exercise, feeding schedules & bathroom needs. Also, I want confirmation that your dog has protection from fleas and ticks and has had their rabies vaccination. In case of any emergencies, I'd like the owner to let me know who to contact if they are out of town.

A typical day

Play chase the ball in my yard. Our neighborhood is very dog-friendly and safe. With lots of areas for walking & doggie socializing. Let me know what your dog needs in terms of physical activity.
