Pet care experience

We treat your best friend as we treat ours: with lots of love and respect. Please take a moment to read some of our reviews from our beloved past and current clients! * We are working professionals at this moment. We do morning and evening visits during the week and have more availability during the weekend! If your pets are more low maintenance, we may be a good match for you! Pet care is determined by you! What does your pet need, what can we do to make them comfortable and keep them well why you are away? We will try our best to make sure all instructions are followed and your pets are safe and happy! Note: absolutely no dogs or no cats with history of aggression towards humans.

Karen & Xavier did an amazing job as always! I love getting updates and pictures of our cats while we’re away, and we always come back to find them in great shape!

Best in the business. My husband and I went for it this past week and booked Karen & Xavier. We’ve used Rover before and always had a great experience so much that we use another Rover sitter when we travel but she is busy with college this days and wasn’t available to walk and watch our dogs. At which point the search for a new dog sitter began. That is always nerve wrecking lol 😂 as all of us can imagine. I found Karen & Xavier’s profile after days of scrolling on the app their reviews really stood out in a positive manner, we then did our meet and greet. After the meeting with Karen & Xavier we just knew dogs would be taken care of and the most important part for us is safety, one of our dogs is a young French bulldog we always make sure that safety is #1. 5 days later, they did not disappoint! they provided them with love, affection and care we came home to 2 spoiled dogs haha… also they kept them safe and our house too while we traveled. I know how tough it’s to choose a new rover sitter but when the time comes both Karen and Xavier are pros and most importantly they are wonderful people & you will have peace of mind. They took down all the instructions asked habits & personality questions about the dogs feeding and walking instructions, dogs had a great experience we did too. Thank you both again.

Karen is the BEST! I always get nervous with care for my dog but Karen seriously knocks it out of the park. She always takes such wonderful care of Charlie with my instructions and can absolutely depend on her! 10/10 recommend her for all your doggy needs.

Karen did an amazing job looking after our cat Gary! She always showed up on time and sent lots of great pictures to keep us updated. Can’t recommend her enough and would definitely use her again!
