My dog loves Karen and family. He isn't happy just anywhere. He needs to feel safe and cared for to be happy and he is in her home.

Can’t say enough good things about Karen! This was the first time we left our 8 month puppy with a dog sitter (for almost a full week), and she had an absolute blast!!! Karen sent pictures and brief updates every day. Oona (our pup) got so much play, exercise, cuddles and love. We count ourselves VERY lucky to have found Karen and look forward to many more visits :)

Phew! What a relief to know that our pup was so happy and well cared for! Karen sent lots of pictures and updates that clearly showed our guy having a great time with Fiona and was completely at home with her family! We could track his many adventures with an Apple tag provided by Karen. We will definitely be calling on Karen for stays in the future!

Karen and family were the best hosts for tali, our 3 year old duck toller. They have a fantastic home, a wonderful dog of their own, and immediately took tali in as their own. We’ll be back next time we are in Northampton!

I am very happy, because my dog was very happy! We moved and my dog has a bit more anxiety with new noises, smells, etc. Karen pushed through with the help of family and her dog and my dog had a great time. So thankful! So much relief.

Let me know if your dog has special needs ahead of time. If your dog has anxiety we suggest looking for a Rover provider that comes to your residence. Our yard has neighboring dogs so it’s important that your dog isn’t an escape artist or bark artist. We may require a meet and greet so your dog is comfortable coming here prior to their first day. After a meet and greet dogs arrive running to our gated yard; ready to be here and part of the pack on Day 1! Also please remember to review the Rover Guarantee. https://www.rover.com/rover-guarantee/
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
