A typical day

I would be happy to come and sit and cuddle with your pooch after helping with potty breaks and feeding, or take them for a walk or run, or play fetch in the yard to stretch those legs. If you are near a park, I would also be happy to escort your furry friend there and spend some time exploring and playing!

On time, reliable and trustworthy. These are the things I want from anyone who is dealing with me & my household. I live near Houston, but I was leaving my dog with my son in Ft Worth while I was out of town for a month. Since I’m retired, my dog is not used to being alone for 8-10 hours a day so having Karen walk her in the mornings was perfect. I looked forward to the daily updates and pictures. Seeing my dog happy and tired definitely made me know I hired the right person. I would highly recommend Karen as a dog walker. I just wish she lived near me!

Thank you, Karen! I’m not sure who is happier right now, us or our zoo. It’s so hard leaving them behind. But allowing them to stay in their home, knowing that they are being well cared for, makes it so much easier. I can’t say thank you enough!

Karen is awesome. I have rebooked with her multiple times to walk my spunky black lab and she always took excellent care of her every time

Karen took great care of my energetic lab. She always gave detailed feedback about their walks and showed up on time. Halee was always excited to see her.

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.
