Karen looked after our 10 year old Labrador and 1 year old cat in our house for a long weekend. Good clear communication from first contact and provided plenty of updates on how the pets were doing. We will definitely ask her again in the future!

Karen was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She stayed at our place for more than a week; she regularly updated us so we were at ease the entire time. Definitely recommend!

Karen was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her for dog sitting. She looked after Pippa so well, understood Pippa’s quirks, and gave me daily updates. Karen left the house so nice and clean to come home to - and a happy dog!!

Karen has sat for Draco before, and was as amazing as the first time for her patience, care, and understanding while house sitting for a pup that can sometimes let his separation anxiety get the better of him. She followed my instructions and left the house in amazing shape. I know Draco already misses her!

My puppy toy poodle Bear just loves Karen, he gets so excited to see her. Karen is a warm and caring person and our favourite sitter.

Really appreciate Karen's flexibility and more importantly update on Blake's health. Really was key to ensuring we got vet care ASAP. Awesome job.
