Calm & Attentive Care

Pet care experience

I provide calm, attentive care that’s tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. I’m especially patient with dogs who benefit from a slower pace, including senior dogs, and I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and not rushed during our time together. I’ve cared for dogs in personal settings for years, from young pups to older dogs, and I’ve developed a strong ability to read their behavior and adjust accordingly. Whether that means a relaxed, sniff-filled walk or sticking closely to a specific routine, I meet each dog where they are. I follow all care instructions closely and prioritize clear communication, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is being cared for with the same level of attention and respect you would give them. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes and make sure pets feel comfortable and settled in their own environment.

We hired Karima to pet sit/house sit while we went away for a few days. It was our first time leaving our two dogs at home because traveling and leaving them at someone else’s house causes them stress in their older age, and we are so happy we found Karima! She followed their schedule perfectly and administered medication to our older guy. She provided videos and updates which put us at ease. She also left the house spotless and the dogs were happily exhausted by the time we got home. We will be hiring her again in the future!

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.
