I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week).

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)

Information Karrington O. would like to know about your pet

I will probably ask for updated rabies (which you can have your vet email over with a quick call) for safety reasons. I also need to know about any allergies or diet restrictions or medications!

A typical day

I am very busy with studying but every hour I take a 10 minute break and usually play and walk with my dog, grab a snack or the mail together, or maybe even just take a nap together. When I do have free time from school work or classes I am having a relaxing day with friends, taking Fish to the dog park, and I love to take a weekend off from work and go to my parents' house where my older dog (ginger, 14 years old) lives and where they have a big beautiful yard to play in!

Genuine dog owner, lover, trainer

Pet care experience

I have never gone a year of my life without owning at least 2 dogs. I have always trained them well with leash training, potty, and crate training. I now am training a service dog (with the help of some classes) and am learning so much more about a dog’s health, needs, and how to learn from them as much as they learn from us. I know that when I go out of town I want the best care for my dogs and I want to provide a good place for other dogs to stay as well.

I am so glad we found Karrington and Fish! I had to leave town last minute, and she was kind enough to take Jax in. I was thankful for the updates and photos she sent me. Jax was happy and relaxed when we brought him home, and I definitely would send Jax back to them again for boarding. Thank you!

Karrington was awesome and a great help in a pinch. I needed last minute help and she was gracious enough to watch Rosie for me. I’m so thankful. Rosie has a good time and I appreciated the picture sent.

Karrington was great with my dog Kahne. I had to make a last minute request and she helped me out a ton. My dog is shy and she was great with him! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet!
