Dog socialization and Human love!

Pet care experience

I will be the caretaker of the dog, and I have a very flexible schedule. My dog is very social and will play well with other dogs. I've raised and trained dogs for over 25 years including having a service dog in training in our house for over a year. We have a fully fenced yard for playing catch or just running free. I do not walk dogs outside the fence since we have so much room for exercise and I feel it’s more secure for your dog to not be taken out. We can cuddle on the couch, if they are allowed on the furniture. I'm not entirely opposed to sleeping with the dog, but Zoya usually only gets in bed in the morning. If your dog is really used to it, just let me know. We have a very calm and pleasant household.

Our experience with Karolyn was top-rate! I love that she only takes one dog at a time. We did a meet and greet before the stay to be sure our dog and her dog would get along. We felt comfortable with Karolyn and her dog from the start. She was faithful to update us with photos and status reports frequently. I recommend Karolyn; I didn't have any worries about leaving our dog with her.

Karolyn did a great job with our dog while we were out of town. She updated me frequently and sent pictures and videos. I was skeptical about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t really know but she took very good care of him. I would definitely recommend her.

Karolyn and Zoya took exceptional care of our dog. She was extremely flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick-up times when travel plans changed. She sent several pictures and kept constant updates to reassure me that our dog was doing well and having fun with hers!

Karolyn was amazing with our older dog Cody. Her dog Zoya is an adorable ball of energy and got along great with our dog. Cody recieved plenty of pets and love with Karolyn. We look forward too having another sleepover soon.

Information Karolyn D. would like to know about your pet

That they are leash trained, if they are adult can minimally sit, stay, down. I mainly prefer medium dogs to enable them to keep up with me and my dog, and to not be too strong (for my safety).

A typical day

I can play games with your dog - hide treats, set them up with games to stimulate, walk them in their neighborhood if that's your desire.
