Keeping Tales Wagging & Homes Happy

Pet care experience

I have been a pet sitter since my senior year of high school! I have watched puppies all the way to elderly dogs! My goal with your fur babies is to provide them with the same level of love and comfort as if you were home. I have worked with dogs that are kennel trained or even those that are roamers. When I am booked I typically have stayed overnights that way the dogs have immediate access to in and out! Let me help you!

Hannah (Karen) was a fabulous sitter and went above and beyond for us when an incident popped up! She was a very respectful house guest and took amazing care of our pups for the week. We are so grateful to find a new sitter that we can trust and can’t wait to book her again. Thanks again!

Karen was great. She took great care of Layla while away. She left the house better than she found it. Thank you, Karen!

This was our first time using Rover for our dogs. Hannah was available last min our 3 boxers, including our puppy, and she was great! We were a little nervous leaving them with someone new, but she made us feel comfortable and took good care of them. We came home to happy dogs and could tell they were well loved. We’d definitely use her again!

Karen (Hannah) was wonderful! I got into a bind at the last minute due to a cancellation and I was extremely lucky to find Karen. She responded to my request immediately and drove over for a meet and greet. It went real well and I knew that Emmy would be in great hands. I received feedback from her everyday. When I got home I think Emmy wasn't expecting me - she was expecting Karen. But, luckily she's accepted me back - haha. And the house was in perfect shape. You can't go wrong with her. I'm looking forward to having her come back 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.
