Your dog's home away from home

Hi! I’m a professional psychologist with a deep understanding of emotional and behavioral needs and I bring that same empathy, patience, and awareness into caring for your dog. I don’t just watch dogs; I truly connect with them. I pay close attention to their unique personality, energy levels, and subtle body language so they feel safe, calm, and deeply understood while away from home. What you can expect: Tailored Attention: Whether your dog is sensitive, high energy, or simply loves company, I adapt my approach to fit their specific personality. Enrichment & Comfort: I balance gentle care with structure and affection to keep their mind engaged and routine stress free. Peace of Mind: You’ll receive regular updates so you can rest easy knowing your dog is loved and emotionally secure. My ultimate goal is for your dog to feel as relaxed, happy, and cared for as they do in their own home!

Thank you for taking care of Sully! He is so relaxed with you and also ready for a nap now. Appreciate the walk with him as well!

Karen and Jorge were great! I really appreciated their updates they provided regarding Alfie during his stay with them. He seemed like he had a great time! I even had a work situation this morning and I came late for pickup 😞 and Karen was very gracious and understanding. Thank you both for your help and for caring for my pup ☺️

Karen & Jorge were excellent!! They kept us updated throughout the stay and were so kind. Our dog didn’t want to leave their house at the end of his stay! :)

Karen and Jorge were amazing with Ocho! They took great care of him, kept us updated with photos throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again! 🐶💛

Karen is a great sitter and I know that because of the tail wagging that happens when Sully visits her home. If my dog is happy then I'm happy and very satisfied with the care he receives.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a calm, pet-free home with no children, which allows us to give your dog our full attention and care. We only host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care and a peaceful environment. Our neighborhood has plenty of green spaces perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Safety and hygiene are always a priority. Our home is kept clean, secure, and dog-friendly, and I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your dog may have. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

A typical day

At our home, each dog enjoys a balanced routine full of care, fun, and attention. We live in a house with a private backyard, where dogs can safely relax, play, and enjoy outdoor time throughout the day. This space allows them to move freely, explore, and feel comfortable in a calm environment. We are also located near a large park, which gives us plenty of opportunities for long, enriching walks. These outings are adapted to each dog’s energy level, age, and personality whether they prefer active walks, relaxed strolls, or time to explore new scents. Inside our home, dogs enjoy a peaceful environment with constant companionship, interactive play, rest time, and plenty of affection. Our goal is to provide a routine that combines outdoor time, mental stimulation, emotional safety, and lots of love so your dog feels happy, secure, and truly at home while with us.

To provide the best possible care, we kindly ask owners to share any important information about their dog in advance. This includes routines, diet, sleep habits, exercise needs, and personality traits. Please also let us know if your dog has any specific rules at home (for example, whether they are allowed on furniture), special behaviors, fears, medical conditions, or anything that helps us understand them better. The more we know about your dog, the more personalized and comfortable their experience will be. Our goal is to respect their habits and help them feel safe, understood, and relaxed while in our care.
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.
