Amazing!! Gave me updates/pics on my boys, put my mind at ease. My boys felt just home and I couldn’t ask for more! 🤍

Karissa was incredible - she was very communicative and thoughtful. Our pup had some unexpected behavior and Karissa worked through it with us! I’d recommend her to anyone!

Karissa was amazing! My Flo was well cared for and Karissa kept me updated daily on how things were going. Can't wait for Flo to have another sleepover with her new friends at Karissa's house!!

Karissa was wonderful and treated my fur babies like her own. They were pampered and petted and she sent me pictures every day so I wouldn't miss them too badly while on a week's vacation. She even bathed and brushed them and gave them back to me in better condition than the way I dropped them off. Book with absolute confidence!

We have never received from a Rover so many daily updates and photos of our dog as we did from Karissa. It was obvious she and her family lovingly cared for our dog.
