Kara was amazing once again! Second time booking with her and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my babies for a 4 day trip. Daily updates and photos, so communicative and responsive, beyond respectful of our home and belongings. Seriously love love love her and hope to use her for as long as she offers her services. Thank you Kara for taking the anxiety out of our trip and loving our babies.

First time Rover user and I am so happy we went with Kara. She was exceptional. So communicative, got daily updates and pictures of the puppies, very respectful of our home, and all around a sweet/kind/knowledge person. I felt so much better leaving my babies knowing Kara was there. Thank you for everything girl!

Kara was wonderful! Our pups warmed up to her quickly and she sent us daily pics and updates while we were away. When we got home, the pups were happy and relaxed. She took great care of them!

Kara was a lovely pet sitter to our 3 cats. She arrived as expected, kept in communication, and sent lots of pics and updates while on our quick trip. Will definitely book again when available.

Kara was amazing! She is super communicative and sent daily texts/pictures of the pets to let me know they were doing great. The pets took to her very quickly, even our cat who takes a week or more to warm up to someone was begging for belly rubs the first day. Thank you Kara!
