Ratings and reviews
Karmyn took good care of our senior dog and followed the care instructions we provided. Our dog came home healthy, and we appreciate that she was available to take her over the holidays. That said, the communication did not match our expectations, especially given the premium $250/night rate. Our original holiday sitter canceled a month before our trip, so we booked Karmyn based on her Rover profile stating she was “happy to send photos/updates as desired,” and her in-person reassurance that she would provide frequent updates. This was important because our dog is 16 years old and we were traveling for 10 days. By day three we asked if she could send 3–4 photos throughout day. She responded on WhatsApp, “Oh that’s a bit much. Normally I check in once every few days. Happy to send daily updates. She is doing well.” Despite explaining our need for reassurance for our senior dog, updates were indeed daily but remained inconsistent with some days 1–2 photos, others 3–4. We do not believe our request was unreasonable, given Karmyn advertised sending updates “as desired” on her profile, this was communicated in advance, and our dog is a senior. Despite paying more than double the typical local rate, we felt like we had to cater to her communication preferences. Overall, the care itself was good. Karmyn was also willing to take our dog for more time when our flight was cancelled (but we had a friend pick our dog up). But there was a mismatch between expectations and follow-through on communication.
Karmyn was responsive and flexible with our last minute booking for Barkley. When we meet for a pre visit she asked all the right questions and reassured us that Barkley would be in great hands. She sent us regular updates and took great care of him - we are so grateful.
Karmyn kept us up to date on how our dog was doing, sent us plenty of phots, and kept her entertained in the backyard.
Karmyn was lovely and attentive to my senior dog. Highly recommend. Her come is very clean and in a safe neighborhood.
Great communication and was flexible in scheduling. Thanks again!
Thanks again for walking Abbey!

Schedule
I currently work remotely (from home) so able to accommodate any and all schedules. Very active and happy to walk dog multiple times per day.
