10/10! As always Karen is the perfect sitter, she accepted my request very last minute and gave my pet an incredible day, from beach walks to cuddles at home. I have used Karen multiple times and will continue to use her to look after my pet dog. Highly recommended!

Karen is an amazing dog sitter, our dog Walter loves staying over! Karen's communication is fantastic too, she regularly sends text and photo updates. I would highly recommend Karen to others.

Absolutely fantastic! Karen is clearly very good at reading dogs and puts a lot of effort into making sure they are settled and happy. She understood my dog completely and Pixie's behaviour when I collected her told me everything I needed to know; she was happy and relaxed. Great with a small dog and a very safe home environment. Also brilliant communication with me throughout, she really listened and took on board information as well as giving great feedback on collection.

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.
