Karen is an awesome person and really cares for the good of the furry babies. She made drop in visits for my 2 cats during the worst christmas storm of 2022. She didn’t allow the bad weather or icy roads come in the way of the commitment, and she always showed up for them on time. She is very careful in noting down precisely what the pets need, and put that in action. I am very thankful to her for the caring person that she is!!!

Karen was a massive help for us. She watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats for two days and one night. The animals were in great hands and warmed up to her immediately. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures. Would recommend Karen and use her again!
