Karen has been absolutely amazing with my three active Aussie Shepard's, Yoshi, Sophie & Sadie. We travel frequently and Karen has been taking care of our dogs each time we went away for over three years now. You can feel when Karen is over our house how much she loves animals, and how much my dogs love her by their excitement, but my other dog, Yoshi, has separation anxiety and needs to be walked more frequently - He can also be difficult to deal with when someone walks by the house, and will bark non-stop. Karen has been great with Yoshi and he was instantly able to gain her trust and allow Karen to take him for walks and give him the extra attention he deserves while we were away without any problems. Karen is very reliable, communicative, and kind. She also has sent us pictures of our dogs while we are away, which I so appreciated. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone in need of a dog sitter!
