Pet care experience

Small, gentle, adult dogs only 💕🐾

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? We provide care for gentle SMALL DOGS (no puppies) and in SMALL GROUPS only to assure the safety and quality of care for each dog. We work from home so we have the perfect opportunity to spend time with fur babies. Keeping dogs happy is our specialty! We have been dog lovers since childhood and dog sitters for 15+ years. Dogs are spoiled with love and attention and they are allowed on all the furniture - no limits. They are free to play, fetch, bury bones, and nap comfortably. We honor dietary requirements and make sure that your dog is treated exactly as you request. You will receive picture updates during your doggy stay. Feel free to get in touch any time your dog is with us, I understand that it can be difficult to leave them behind. I am excited to meet you and your little bestie! About my yard: We have a small fenced-in side yard, perfect for little dogs. They go out several times/day where they run, play and go potty. My experience administering medication: I am open to administering meds if I am trained by the owner.

Karine and her husband are unbelievable caretakers. They truly love the dogs for whom they care and most, if not all, are repeat visitors. They are sensitive to the individual personalities and needs of each and every dog and work to arrange to have dogs who are comparable and really enjoy being together. I cannot imagine my little guy having a better experience than he had with Karine!

Doggy Day Care • Apr. 09, 2026

Karine was amazing. I felt her warmth and love for dogs right away during our meet and greet, and I really appreciated how patient she was with Molly, who can be shy at first. She spent a lot of time asking thoughtful questions and getting to know Molly, so by the time we came back for our first daycare session, Molly already seemed more at ease. Throughout the day, I received tons of photos, and she even put Molly in a little jumpsuit to keep her extra comfortable. It was so reassuring to see my pup धीरे warming up and being introduced to her doggie friends, all of whom seemed just as sweet and gentle. Karine made me feel completely at ease. I also appreciated that she noticed Molly might have a bit of yeast in her ears. I was already aware and treating it, but it meant a lot that she was paying such close attention. We’ll definitely be spending more time with Karine!

We had a great experience with our dog boarding with karine for a night. She was so communicative with updates on how our pup was doing and many photos as well. Our dog seemed to be very happy and comfortable with her! Would highly recommend !

Karine and Ryan are amazing. We were so nervous leaving our furbaby for the first time, but Karine and Ryan made the process so much easier. We have full faith and trust in their care for our boy while we are away, and you should too!

Safety, trust & environment

Dog meals are given separately if they have special dietary needs. I understand doggie digestive issues so I am very sensitive to their digestive needs. Dogs are free to go outside to the patio or side-yard and they are free to roam and play at home, on the sofa, bed, doggie teepee, wherever!

Pets

A typical day

Dogs take potty breaks in the backyard multiple times/day where they can play fetch and enjoy outdoor time or indoor time if they prefer. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: We can sleep with your little love in our bed if that is what they are used to at home or some owners bring crates/beds, which are always welcome. Your dog will be cuddled, loved and played with during their stay.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Karine can host up to 4 pets per night
We have a very calm and loving home, so most dogs feel very comfortable right away. We have no breed preferences, we love them all the same, however, we only take small dogs. I would need to know your dog’s weight, temperament, age, heath issues and allergies ahead of time that way we can assure the best environment for your little one.
