Karen had our Charly for three nights at her home near our vacation destination. She kept us up to date via photos, e-mails, and text messages during our absence. She fed him and walked him exactly as we had asked and even let him sleep by her side at night. Without our asking, she made thoughtful safety changes in her home to accommodate his blindness. When we first arrived, Charly sensed her welcoming, dog loving warmth, and took to her immediately. Her fenced back yard is safe for all dogs, and we enjoyed a brief vacation knowing Charly was probably having as much fun as we were. We have made a reservation with Karen for 2014 when we will return for our annual family get-together. I recommend her highly! :)
