I can’t say enough about how wonderful Karen and her team are. We contacted her about our 8 week old puppy very last minute (literally the day before) we needed care for our puppy. She was extremely accommodating with our very challenging work schedules and the late notice - and now takes care of our puppy Ranger every day! I don’t think we could have met a more caring, thoughtful or trustworthy partner to us in our care for Ranger!

We love that the DogFather provides a full service solution: once he’s old enough he can go to puppy day care with them, they can walk him up to 3 times a day and are flexible when our schedule changes last minute, and they can take him overnight. Plus, the care is great - I love the consistency and that it is the same person every time who knows our puppy and his unique needs. We even feel like we can call Karen for advice on anything with the pup!

I cannot recommend them enough!!
