Karen is an absolute gem! We recently moved to Florida and were so worried about who was going to care for our cat, Daisy. Karen visited us before our planned time away for a brief meet-and-greet. She's a total delight, and we knew right away she was perfect. Her communication throughout our vacation was awesome; we received daily updates and pictures - and each update was so witty and charming. We loved every one of them! Our Daisy can be quite shy, but Karen kept working with her and talking to her, and eventually she came out of hiding! Karen treated Daisy as her own, and we couldn't appreciate that more. She left the house in immaculate condition; you'd never know someone was in and out twice a day. I will 100% be calling on Karen again and highly recommend her!!

We had a family emergency and had to be out of town. Karen was wonderful and provided pictures and updates so I never had to worry about my babies while I was away. Would 100% book again.

She was wonderful with Raymond! She even came by before our trip to introduce herself, which we really appreciated. Raymond is usually a little shy and anxious with new people, but she was so patient with him. She provided detailed updates after every visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I really appreciated the care she put into each check-in and would absolutely book with her again!

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.
