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.

We had a pre-visit and Dillon took to Karen straightaway. Great communication from the start and throughout Dillon's stay. We knew Dillon would be well looked after, and we highly recommend Karen. If we can, we would look to book Karen again, if there's availability 😊.

Everything went better than I expected. Otto relaxed enough to enjoy his first walk with someone other than his family.
