Doggy Day Care • May 03, 2025

Our original sitter for Beau was not available so I decided to reach out search on Rover.com. I came across Karen S and read a few of her reviews and thought she would be a great fit for our boy. I really thought I read that she was a non smoker but to our surprise when we got Beau home everything we took over there smelled like cigarette smoke. I had to wash everything including his travel bag. Had I read her home was smoker's home I would not have picked her. Now I will say this her communication with me was great she walked Beau regularly and sent me a picture of his walk around the pond. If you are a smoker and your fur baby is use to that Karen would be perfect. Please do your research and look at all reviews.

Our little bear was so happy in his stay with Karen and her husband! They are excellent dog sitters and even offered advice foe our puppy since we're first time owners. I will definitely be coming back whenever I need a sitter again.

This was not my first time using Rover. Never in the past did I have a negative experience. I sent two dogs to Karen for an impromptu overnight stay. I thought I read all of her reviews but obviously I missed the one where a client noted that it is a smoking household. Both dogs came home smelling of a very strong cigarette smell. I sent dogs with labeled bags of food including medications for the dog with arthritis. I always send an extra bag of food just in case my return is delayed. Both dogs were overfed and the German Shepard was overmedicated. I also mentioned to Karen that the German Shepard was very food driven and would easily access food left on the counter top. Sure enough, I got a text at 11am that he ate a prime rib. In the early morning hours I was awoken to the worst case of explosive vomitting and diarrhea I have ever seen in a dog. The German Shepard ruined my bedroom carpet and the white marble floors and grout in the primary bathroom. For these reasons I give Karen ZERO stars and would not recommend her as a pet sitter.
