Small, gentle dogs only! 💕🐾
Pet care experience
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 friend! About my yard: It is not yet fenced in, it is easy to allow dogs (on-leash) to go out for potty breaks between walks and to play. My experience administering medication: I am open to administering meds if I am trained by the owner.
Reviews
Karine was phenomenal! She provided tons of updates and took wonderful care of our boy, Scout. She fed him special dishes when he wasn’t eating. She asked about all sorts of details to be sure she got it right. She even clipped the knots under his ears, which I was very nervous to do. Wow! Very pleased all around - thank you!
Our two older dogs had a wonderful weekend with Karine. We had to go out of town last minute and we were so fortunate to find the perfect place for our fur babies. This was their first time staying with anyone other than family but they made themselves at home immediately. We received lots of photos and updates and could tell from the initial contact that they were going to be in good hands. I highly recommend and we will definitely be using Karine again. Thank you!!!!!!
Once again, Banksy had the best time! Thank you so much for giving him a place where he is so happy to Visit and meet new friends! He is always so playful after coming back from a few days with you!
This was a perfect stay for Roxy!. Karine and her husband Ryan took excellent care of our little girl. Their home is welcoming, and they are both attentive to her needs, very friendly, and responsible. Roxy is a bit anxious about being in a new environment but she felt right at home here and had fun playing with Miso. We will be back.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Dog meals are given separately. I understand doggie digestive issues so I am very sensitive to their digestive needs. Dogs are always leashed outside, but once they get home they are free to roam and play on the sofa, bed, doggie teepee, wherever.
Home
Information Karine A. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
We take walks multiple times/day, weather permitting. Potty breaks in the back yard happen multiple times/day between walks. 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.

Availability
I currently work part-time online at home, so my schedule is very flexible. There is plenty of time for cuddles and walks, your dog will feel at home.
