Information Karena K. would like to know about your pet

Whatever you want to leave your pet with me I would just prefer that you let me know ahead of time if they have any special needs that I need to accommodate for, any specifics, such as feeding times, bath times, or taking medications. And if they have ever been aggressive towards other people, or other animals in the past, just let me know so I’m more cautious when approaching. For last-minute bookings (Under 48 hours' notice) I will charge an extra $15 a night.

A typical day

If my client is ok with it, I can take their dogs to a nearby dog park that has more than enough space for their dog to run around and play and be social with other dogs and when we’re all inside, cats included, I make sure that they get more than enough play running around the house, catching balls, or just doing anything that entertains them.

Pet care is 100% my focus.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I’ve got my first one when I was eight, and now that I’m older and living on my own I have my own dog who is almost 3, who still acts just like a puppy. Since joining Rover, I have taken care of a variety of different dogs of all breeds, and sizes with all kinds of different needs.

Karena was great! Kept us informed with details and photos each visit. We already booked her for another trip.

I had a great experience with Karena. She took excellent care of my babies while I was away. They were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. She followed all care instructions, was respectful of my home, and kept me updated with photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was gone. I truly appreciate her care and would consider booking with her again.

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.
