House Sitting • janv. 05, 2026

How is this instead? This was our first time using the Rover app and we were so grateful to find Karen!! She was extremely responsive during for our week away from our dogs. Returning home our flight was delayed 3 times for being back and she was very supportive and understanding in taking care of the dogs. Our kiddos were very well taken care of and hit it off with Karen right away. Karen is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in taking care of the dogs in our home. We highly recommend Karen and she will be our go to next time we need any kind of dog services!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience—Karen was reliable, communicative, and great with Willie. We received regular updates and came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend and will book again!

Karen was great! She took care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats while I was out of town. She sent pictures and updates to let me know that everyone was doing well. They were all healthy and happy when I returned.

Karen is one of the most trustworthy people I know . She has decades of training and competing with her dogs. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to reading dog behavior and giving guidance is helping with those that need it. Along with her other achievements, is her love for the animal and her ability to help in a crisis since she has worked as a certified vet tech for many years. Karen would be an awesome asset to your company.

Karen treats her clients' dogs with love and respect. She wants to make sure her canine clients have fun and cares for their unique needs. She provides great services to help both her human clients and their furry best friends to have great bonding experiences. Karen practices her excellent training skills with her own dogs and shares those skills very successfully with her clients.
