Pet care experience

Comfy Home and Walks in the Park!

I've loved and cared for many family pets over the years, and have cared for friends and family pets during this time as well. The most recent sweet dog, we loved and cared for from the time she was 6 mos. (she was a rescue) up until she was 17 years old. I'm comfortable with and understand the extra care our senior pets may require, although I will happily accept all ages, one year and over.

Excellent service. Responsive to my needs and communication, and Luci was very happy and clearly well cared for when I went to pick her up. Plus the area around her home is PERFECT for dog walking. My pup was very happy there

Karyn is the best! She has a lovely home and backyard. She communicates daily with pictures. She and her family treated Gatsby like family and even let him participate in an Easter egg hunt. I highly recommend!

Karyn is a wonderful doggie mom. Java had a great time with her and all of her needs were met. Thank you Karyn!

Karyn is so nice. Her house, backyard and neighborhood is as nice as she is! She was great with our dog Joey! She was a great communicator as well. I can’t say enough good things. We are planning our next vacation and we hope she is available to watch Joey again

We were very fortunate to have Karyn take care so well of Java. She is only 14 months old and still growing up and learning. This was the first time Java was away from us. When we picked her up she was very happy and relaxed, which immediately showed us that she had a great time and was well taken care of. Thank you Karyn for going the extra mile for our baby!
