Pet care experience

Loving & reliable pet care

We'll take care and love your furbabies like we do our own. Me and my husband are lifetime dog and cat lovers and find great joy in having furbabies in our home! We have experience in all stages of life—from playful puppies and kittens to providing loving senior care. Over the years, I have administered and am comfortable administering medications and shots to pets with extra requirements while offering the extra love and attention they need. We have a spacious backyard for playtime and a friendly 3-year-old Collie/Shepherd mix named Jinx, who loves to make new friends and play. Your pup will enjoy multiple daily walks and plenty of outdoor access. We also have a 10-year-old cat named Belly, who generally keeps to herself and isn’t bothered by canine visitors. Our family includes two little ones, ages 2 and 6, who are used to being around dogs and are gentle and respectful of them (they will have none to very limited contact and always supervised). Our house is arranged where there is a larger play area for fur babies that can be easily sectioned off - though, just like with our own furbabies, they are welcome to roam our home. We only take at most 2 pets at a time, so they are sure to receive premium time and cuddles! We’re happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure it feels like a great fit for everyone involved. We’d love the chance to care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we give our own!

Karyn and her family were amazing! Very respectful, responsive, and easy to work with. Lexi clearly had a great time and looked happy and healthy at pick up. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Lexi, Karyn!
