Information Karima B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cat or dog has any health issues that I can plan for. If I need to administer any medications, please provide detailed instructions.

A typical day

For cats, we'll play with wand toys if they have some. I like to play laser pointer, it always ends with a fun toy at the end. Chin or head scratches are always relaxing. For dogs, we'll go for a walk and play a fun game of fetch or tug of war. Maybe do some puzzle toys if they have some, and of course, some delicious treats and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the sensitive, loving energy I bring to every animal I meet. I always read their body language and greet them with a calm, affectionate tone that lets me communicate safety to the shyest of cats; or demonstrate gentle authority to the most energetic of pups. I was born into a house with cats & dogs and have always felt that animals are part of the family. Over the past decade, I have cared for senior cats, postpartum dogs, high-anxiety animals, and would love to help care for your pets while you are away!

Karima is the best!! She is responsive and wonderful to work with! My dog has separation anxiety, and Karima was so attentive to his needs and made sure she knew exactly how to take care of him. When I picked him up, he was so happy and I could tell he had such a good time. I can't recommend Karima enough - she will take such wonderful care of your pup! We will absolutely be booking with Karima again!

Karima was kind and patient with both of my rowdy dogs. She is obviously a knowledgable dog lover who will take great care of your animals!

Karima has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my beloved fur baby! From the moment I met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals. She's been our go-to pet sitter for months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Karima is reliable, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to ensure my pet is happy and comfortable. Her updates and photos during pet sitting put my mind at ease when I'm away. I highly recommend Karima to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy pet sitter on Rover. She's simply pawsome!"

Karima is extremely responsible and a huge lover of animals! She dogsat for my 1 year old high energy poodle puppy and does such a great job with him. He’s always excited to see her and I know it’s because of her loving care and still stern direction that he respects and listens to. I highly recommend Karima for any pet care, your pet will be in great hands!
