Thank you for looking after Mac. He seemed very happy with you in your home. Thank you for the lovely updates. Mac will definitely be visiting again.

Lily has just enjoyed a 2 week stay with Karl and his family. We couldn't be more happy with the love, care and attention they give to her. I would recommend Karl without a shadow of a doubt to anyone and particularly if this is their first experience with Rover.

Left my boy with Karl. My boy is quite anxious and he settled in straight away. I have had pics and videos of him having the best time. I don't like leaving him. I must say I will definitely use Karl again. The family made ollie feel at home and have given him plenty of cuddles which he loves and needs as he is so loving. Thank you so much 💓

Divy had a great time during his boarding, plenty of cuddles and well looked after. Being a grayhound he has a couple of special needs which Karl and his wife were mindful of. I wholeheartedly recommend them as a sitter and am looking forward to leave Divy in their care next time we need to.

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.
