Karen is a very competent, responsible dog lover who took excellent care of our Labradoodle while we were out of town. He enjoyed hanging out with Karen’s dogs and sharing early morning walks with them each day. Karen was very communicative, and we loved getting her daily updates and pics. We’d highly recommend her to care for your pup!!!!

We were lucky enough to have Karen watch our dog for the long weekend. We couldn’t have been happier with how it went. Karen took the extra time to allow our dogs to meet before booking. This gave us some added comfort and certainty, which we appreciated. During the stay she provided many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We have no hesitation with booking with her again. 100% would recommend her and her family as sitters!

Karen was an exceptional Rover. She made me feel at ease with a meet and greet beforehand. Karen kept us updated about Nugget during his stay with her and took great care of him. Would happily rebook again with Karen and would thoroughly recccommend her!
