Karen was awesome! Stepped up when we had a last minute trip, was super timely, communicated just the right amount, our pup loved her, and the house was spotless. Thanks so much!

Karen was tasked with watching my three Newfoundlands who have a very set routine. Although I would have liked more updates I am sure they were very happy while we were gone. The proof is that when we arrived home they weren't all that excited to see us. I think they were satisfied with the care they recieved. We also have two cats. The cat boxes were clean, the yard was picked up and everything was placed back where it usually goes. Karen did a great job and I would book her services again!

Karen was so good with Stella. We felt very comfortable while we were away and would definitely use her again. This was our best experience with Rover!

Karen was absolutely fantastic. She stayed with my dog Bunnie at my home over a long weekend. She is a true dog lover and I was so glad to leave my baby in her care. She sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend- I could tell Bunnie was at having a great time with her there! And I had peace of mind knowing she was in great hands being so far away. I will be rebooking with Karen again, can’t recommend her enough to fellow pet parents!!

Gene was instantly at ease with Karen, which put me at ease as well. He was happy and loved that she played lots of ball with him. I'm so happy to have found such a great fit for our dog. Dogs are a great judge of character and Gene knew right away that Karen was the perfect friend to hang out with him while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
