Pet care experience
Make Karl’s Doggy BnB your pup’s home away from home. With over 35 years’ experience in the grooming and kennel industries, I have a deep understanding of dog behavior. I have helped many friends with behavior and training issues in addition to training my own dogs. I don’t currently have any dogs of my own, but I maintain a minimalist, dog-friendly home with a large, safe backyard. I have decades of experience with all types of dogs and welcome senior dogs, special needs, special feeding, behaviors, medications. I love having canine guests anytime! I’m a full time professional music teacher and performer, so I spend most of each day at home. I walk all of my guests every day and everyone gets lots of attention while they’re here. I’m on E. Weber Rd in Clintonville, between Indianola and Summit. I work mostly from home and will have lots of time to play with your pups. I can usually be very flexible with pick up and drop-off times, and I like everyone to get a daily walk while they're here. I have a fenced yard, and supervise all outside visits. I often have multiple clients at once, and energetic play is kept to a minimum inside the house. Feedings are 100% supervised, and everyone is fed in separate spaces. I can crate dogs that cannot be left out, so that they don't get into anything. I have a very dog-proof home.
Reviews
This was our first time using Rover and letting someone outside of close friends/family to watch our pup Oakley and to say we had a great experience would be an understatement. Karl is amazing and treats your dogs like his own. We loved getting updates and pictures everyday to see how our baby was doing. We will definitely be booking again with Karl.
Karl was great with my French bulldog. He took such good care of her and she loved playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend him.
Luna and Topper had a great time with Karl. He kept us updated with photos and daily reports while we were out of town.
We always feel so comfortable bringing our Dottie to Karl!

Home
Information Karl W. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to do a Meet and Greet with your dog and you before I agree to service, but it's not a dealbreaker! All dogs staying in my house must wear a collar with evidence of current rabies vaccination and owner ID. I will also put an ID tag on your dog with my contact information on it. I will not accept bookings for un-neutered dogs older than 6 months. I will have as many as four dogs at my house at one time, and I am usually full. If your dog doesn't get along with others, I am not the sitter for you. I am happy to reserve my home for your dog alone, but I have to charge double. Please do not bring any crates, beds, toys, blankets, etc. I have everything that your dog needs other than food and medications.
A typical day
Whatever you and your dog need: walks, exercise, special feeding, medications, transportation. I can happily provide video or photo updates. Whatever you and your pooch need to be comfortable and happy is my desire.

Availability
I'm home most of the time. I teach guitar lessons in my basement studio M-W afternoons. I'm often out of the house on Friday and Saturday nights for performances, but other than that, I'll be home treating your dog as if it were my own. The dogs here get a lot of attention!
