What my clients say:

"Karen and Alina are the absolute BEST. They have cared for our dogs while we vacationed for several years. When two of our dogs were seniors, they were particularly sweet, gentle and understanding. They have been equally loving with our young lab mix. They also took great care of our home. Having them stay with our pets gives us peace of mind while we are away. Thank you Karen and Alina!! "

—Lisa Marx

"I can't say enough great things about Karen and Alina. They are two of the kindest, sweetest people you will ever meet. For the past two years, they have stayed in our home and watched our cats while we were on vacation for about 10 days. They took excellent care of both our home, and our beloved kitties. They even sent us pictures while we were away. They are honest, trustworthy and thorough. I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

—Malin Parker

"I have known Karen for over 20 years and Alina since she was born. They are caring, compassionate, 100% trustworthy, and any pet who gets to have them care for them while their human family is away could not be in any better hands!!! They have cared for our fur babies, and we feel so at peace knowing they are loved and played with as if they were their own pets. It’s so hard to find someone you can trust, but every person I have referred them too has invited them back to watch their fur babies again. That speaks volumes. "
