Ratings and reviews
Karmen and her family are always a pleasure to interact with
Karmen was amazing she took my guy in with no hesitations even after I booked last minute. They were very understanding that he is so shy and took the time to let him become comfortable with them on his own terms! Will definitely be going back in the future!
I use Karmen regularly and my boy loves her and her entire family. Definitely using again!!
Karmen is fantastic and I have used her before and have already booked her again in the future. She treats Rocky as a part of her family and I trust her with my sweet guy!!
Karmen and Garth have been Ollie's home away from home. They take excellent care of him, they're lovely people, and we're lucky to know them.
Karmen was incredible and super accommodating her set up for the dogs is spacious and engaging! Already booked again as my boy was so well looked after.

Schedule
I’m currently a stay-at-home mom. My husband is now semi-retired so he is often home to enjoy the dog-pack as well. Other than the occasional time period when my elderly parents need me, I’m at home with a very flexible schedule. I have two teenagers - dog-loving sons - who are often home and would love to play with your dog as well.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are a quiet, peaceful family with open, gentle hearts. We have a furry friend named Kona. She is easy-going and playful and loves “playdates.” She is a bernese/collie/hound mix. We have always dog-sat when friends need help. We took in a dog during a bad fire season a few years ago when there were evacuees in town. We once dog-sat for seven months. We never tired of that small dog named Canaan with the amazingly powerful herding instincts. We owned a small and very lovingly licky puggle/terrier named Rocco for several years just after that. He came to us as an adult who needed to be re-homed. When he passed of an autoimmune condition it was a very sad day.

A typical day
I have plenty of energy to keep your dog stimulated mentally and physically. My sons are interested to help provide activity as well. We love to take dogs down to the sandbar by the airport tower where they can run and dig and sniff around. We can go for hikes out in the hills or if your dog doesn’t have that much energy we can take them for sniffing tours around Brock. There are plenty of scents to explore, I’m sure. Our yard is large enough that a small fetching-dog would be kept busy right in our own backyard. We used to enjoy creating “snifftacle courses” for our puggle and trying to teach him new tricks. I enjoy learning about dog training and psychology. I’ve been actively searching out learning since bringing home Kona. Some of my favourite trainers are Susan Garrett, the McCann Dog Training group, Victoria Stilwell, and Beckman. I have been informally learning from them through youtube. Kona and I are now (Jan-April 2023) attending actual classes through the Cactus K9 Club here in Kamloops (Rally Class). All the this is to say I am aware of best practices for managing doggy behaviour and want to help your doggo live his/her best life. ?
