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 is awesome! She is extremely organized and communicates really well. I felt confident that my pup was in good hands. He was reluctant at first but settled in nicely and enjoyed his stay there. We already have plans to return. We were very pleased with the planning, experience, knowledge, communications, thoughfulness and care they showed.

Karine and Ryan are the best sitters!! I don’t have to worry about my dog at all when I travel because I know he’s in such good hands. I have used them a dozen times now, they are so reliable!

Can’t give enough nice feedback to Karine and Ryan- Radley was well cared for and Karine gave me lovely photos during her stay. Radley has now found a second mom! ❤️

Karine is a fantastic sitter, we are so lucky we found her. She sent daily updates letting us know how our dog was doing. We could not have been happier with her.

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 3 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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
