Safety, trust & environment

If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.

Information Carina S. would like to know about your pet

The more information you can give about your pets the better. Are they food motivated? Listen to commands? Any tips & tricks would be great!

A typical day

Depends on the pet! My family dogs have ranged from extremely active to timid and shy. We can take walks around local ponds (love the All Trails app), hike up mountains, throw a ball around the yard, tug-of-war inside, or even just sit around for some snuggles.

Pet care experience

Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here!

Carina was very easy to work with. She even had many of the items in her home already, like toys and food/water bowls. My dog came back super happy after his time with her. And the next time we booked her, he was even more excited to be back. She is very sweet, attentive and caring!

From the very first meet‑and‑greet, I knew Carina was the perfect match for my boy, Sheppy. She connected with him instantly, and the peace of mind I felt from that moment only grew throughout my trip abroad. Carina went above and beyond while staying in my home and caring for Sheppy. She checked in regularly, shared the sweetest photos, and kept me updated in a way that made me feel completely at ease. It was clear she treated him with the same love, patience, and attention she would give her own dog. Carina is responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted with animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave my boy. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. I will be booking her again even without travel plans just to keep Sheppy and his new BFF Carina connected.

Carina is the absolute best. She goes above and beyond and you can tell she loves dogs so much. She took such good care of my dog Kate, and I would recommend her care to anyone!!

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.
