Karen stayed with my dogs over the Christmas holiday and everything was great, She was very good and keeping me updated and handling everything with the dogs. I wasn't worried about leaving them and I have 2 Senior dogs, one is blind and needs alot of attention and Karen was great! I would definitely book her again!

Karen was fabulous. She was very responsive, sent pictures of our dog as an update, and reported any concerns or questions. She stayed at our house to retrieve mail and other household needs. She was well prepared as she reviewed in depth beforehand. She was very tidy. We even arrived home with two chilled glasses of ice water! I'd recommend Karen.
