Highlights
Pet care experience
Home & work full time - love dogs!
Hi there! We are Karina and Troy and we would love to give your dog(s) a happy and safe home if you ever need a helping hand! We both work full-time from our home office so we are home all the time (and would be able to 100% home sit), and able to do frequent walks and potty breaks as needed. I (Karina) grew up with 3 dogs, one of which I solely looked after for 14 years. Troy has always had dogs in his life growing up and has always been a go-to dog sitter for friends and family. We have a wonderful pit-lab mix, Harlem, who we love going hiking and running with. Harlem also loves having other furry friends around - he is incredibly friendly, respectful, and loving. We have a spacious house with trails right outside our front door and a dog park 2 minutes away, so we have ample access to dog exercise, fun, and socializing! For doggie daily exercise, we love taking walks, running, or going hiking, but equally as happy just having playtime at or around our home, if that’s what your dog prefers! We love dogs of all kinds, all ages, and all breeds, and always treat all dogs with kindness, lots of playtime, cuddles, and yummy treats! Consider our home a home-away-from-home and us as an extended family for your precious pups!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were extremely pleased with the care our dog received from Karina and Troy. Trapper is a wonderful, extremely fit, and a bit quirky silver lab. It did not take long for Karina to get to know what makes him tick. She took extra effort to keep him happy and let him be the loving dog he is. Lots of walks and runs. Even some retrieving (Trapper's favorite thing next to food). The fenced yard and dog door are a real plus. Trapper has to take some daily meds, and Karina and Troy were spot on with making sure he took them. We received photo updates several times a day, which alleviated any worries and let us focus on our vacation. To be sure, Karina and Troy are not the least expensive Rover sitters in our area, but I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would give more care and love. We were gone three nights, and when we returned, we could tell he had fit right into their family. We highly recommend Karina and Troy.
Karina & Troy are wonderful! Bulleit enjoyed playing with their dog, Harlem and came home exhausted! Perfect day of doggie daycare! I would highly recommend Karina & Troy!
Karina and her family were amazing with my pup! She was so patient with his puppy ways. She kept me informed and updated throughout the day, including pictures of him having fun, which helped me know my boy was having a good time and being well taken care of. Her dog has the best energy and was so sweet with my crazy energetic puppy. I really appreciate how well cared for he was and I would recommend her 100%. This is an amazing home to leave your pup in 🥰
Karina and Troy are great!! Our dog seemed to have SO much fun while we were gone. She got to play with their dog, Harlem and she even learned a new trick!! I would definitely have them care for our Goldendoodle again. Karina and Troy were very accommodating and so great to work with. We received updates with pictures of our happy dog everyday while we were gone. It was so nice to know she was in good hands. We will definitely board with them again.
They were great and Ollie loved playing with their dog!
Karina, Troy and Harlem are the best! Copper had a great time! They took great care of him, and sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout his stay. They treated copper as if he was their own! Will definitely want to send Copper there again!

Schedule
We both work full-time from home with frequent opportunities for breaks, snacks/meals and walks outside. We encourage our dogs to be around us while we work so we can keep an eye on them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard and a really friendly dog that can keep your pup company. We do frequent walks in our neighborhood (we live on a dead-end culdasac street, so cars rarely pass through).

A typical day
We have lots of hiking trails all around our house right outside our front door, and dog parks just a minute or two of driving. We go for walks 2x per day up and down our block - avoid 15 minutes each time. We also have a large fenced backyard for playing! There is ample room for fun and activities in our home :-)
