Information Karen J. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how they are around new people, if they enjoy other dogs, and if they have experience with cats. I also like to know their favorite games, toys and treats. I like to know a typical day for your dog and if they have a routine. I also like to know if they are runners (like to explore or run off).

A typical day

I love to go on walks either in their neighbor hood or the beach. Like to play at the park or yard and like to play in the water if your pup likes water. I like to travel the neighborhood and go socialize at pet friendly establishments.

Karen was great! She was amazing with our cats...but the icing on the cake was how clean and organized things were when we got home. We rushed out of the house and weren't exactly tidy. Karen got us straightened out. Great care for the fur babies and great care for our home. Thank you so much!!!

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.
