As always Karuna was excellent. We just adopted a high needs deaf rescue and she is so dedicated to supporting him. She's been training him and helping him learn how to be calm. It's sooo helpful for mom and dad to have a sitter who cares as much as her! 10/5 stars!

Great dog sitter. Got lots of updates with pictures! She let me know exactly how he was doing and was very good at communicating. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety from me. She was so good with him & was flexible in the times that she would pop in and out throughout the day to make the experience best for Rex. Overall great pet sitter, would highly recommend. Also experienced in giving medication which is a huge relief!
