Heidi took good care of my dog for 10 days, she communicated while I was on vacation and sent dozens of photos. She did an excellent job!

Heidi took amazing care of our two dog-children over the long weekend, and I couldn t be more grateful. From the start, she was incredibly attentive, and it was clear our dogs were thoroughly pampered with long walks, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of love and attention. Throughout their stay, Heidi was super responsive and consistently kept us updated with messages and photos. What I especially appreciated was her understanding and patience when I wasn t always able to respond right away. I was caring for my two children, both age three and under, while also being just two weeks away from giving birth, so life was a little hectic. Despite that, she never once let it affect her communication, the quality of her updates, or the abundance of pictures she sent. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, well cared for, and having a great time while we were away. I would absolutely book Heidi again without hesitation and look forward to working with her in the future. Highly recommend!

I almost considered cancelling my trip because my usual sitter was also out of town and I was scared to try out a new sitter. I m so glad I didn t because my anxious and sometimes reactive guy had the best time at Karlea s house! She went above and beyond to accommodate for my pup and showed him so much love. Karlea was very responsive and sent many updates and pictures which really put me at ease. Would highly recommend!!

Wagner Dog Park
Located at 2420 N Main St, this park has an entire area for your pupper to go off-leash! Known as the Wagner Park Dog Run, this park is open to the public and includes a designated area just for your pooch to get their exercise.

If bringing other members of your family, the park also includes picnic tables, a playground, and a frisbee golf course! This park is open year-round for your full enjoyment.12
Royal Oak Dog Park
Royal Oak is not only home to one dog park; it is home to two! The second dog park is a fenced park, located at 4600 N Campbell Rd. This park is the official dog park of the area, requiring a membership in order to enter. The membership does require that your pupper have proof of vaccinations, along with a membership fee. This can be turned in at the City Clerk's Office. After that is all said and done, you and your four-legged friends can enjoy the dog park at your leisure.
