Quiet Country Setting

Pet care experience

I am a stay at home mom who loves animals. I had many dogs growing up, and as an adult I have trained several puppies to be my own companions. I cared for our elderly chocolate lab and jack russell terrier, so I'm familiar with caring for all ages of pets. Currently our family has a female lab mix. We also have an outdoor cat that we adopted through Humane Fort Wayne after fostering her and her litter of kittens. Our children range in age from 5-14 and share my love for animals. They love to help with our pets and give them attention. We live on around 4 acres. There is plenty of space to go for a sniffing walk around the property or up and down our quiet lane. If you're looking for a quiet getaway for your beloved pet, then our home would be perfect!

Karisa and her family (including family dog) were so welcoming to Daisy. Even continued some of the training that Daisy and I have been working on. Photos and updates kept me updated. Daisy had a wonderful stay and I will use Karisa again as trips come up!

Karisa was an amazing pair for Eddie. We got to visit beforehand for a meet and greet. They have a huge yard which I am sure Eddie saw a ton of. This experience was made so easy and allowed my son and myself to visit family for a well overdue visit. Our minds were at peace and our pup was healthy and full of spirits when we came to pick up. Please book with zero hesitations!!! If they had a 6th star to choose, I would have selected.
