House Sitting • May 30, 2026

We have a senior dog with stranger anxiety and multiple daily medications and Karuna was wonderful with him. She was really patient and gave him time to warm up to her during a couple meet and greet visits, and then followed his lead when she was house sitting to ensure he felt comfortable with her. Karuna was very communicative and provided frequent updates including photos so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that our dog was well cared for.

Karuna did a great job for our two cats while we were away. This was Karuna's second time with us, very pleased.

Karuna watched my dog for several days in March. She clearly loves dogs and my dog liked her as well. My dog takes medicines twice a day and Karuna had no trouble administering them on a timely basis. I met with Karuna twice before her house-sitting stint and each time she arrived on time, asked the right questions, and gave my pup plenty of affection. She also sent me cute pics of my dog while I was away and left my house tidy.

Karuna has been a fantastic sitter for our nervous pup and cat. She is communicative, attentive, and has been flexible with timing when needed, which makes traveling much less stressful.

Karuna did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs and cat while I was out of town. One of my dogs had a medical issue and Karuna let me know immediately. Together, we were able to come up with a solution for his short-term term care. She gave pills to each of my dogs and sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend Karuna and will use her again when I travel. She completely put my mind at ease about my pets.

Karuna has been great with our two critters! I especially appreciate her flexibility and quick response times, as it’s made last minute delays/general travel chaos easier to navigate. I also really appreciate that when I forgot to update our care instructions after we moved, Karuna rolled with the punches and quickly figured out our new layout and where everything belonged.
