Karen was amazing with our dog! She sent us updates and pictures as much as we wanted! She was great at communicating, texting back fast, and was just very sweet overall! I could enjoy my tome away while knowing benny was having a great time as well. Benny was very well taken care of and he acted as if he just came back from vacation too when we picked him up! Definitely would recommend her! Would give her 10 starts if i could, and will be using her services again!

Karen was absolutely amazing! She took care of my Border Collie, Luna, for two days while I was away getting married, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust her with. Luna can be a high energy, sensitive girl, but Karen handled her with so much love, patience, and attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind during a busy weekend. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.

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.
