Pet care experience

Goldens are my specialty. ❤️

I prefer to watch Golden Retrievers, as I have the most experience with this breed. I have had 25 years experience, including formal training. I have owned 3 Goldens in the past, & watched many others of all ages. I have a big home, with a fenced yard. Great subdivision with a walking path & park. When your dog is here, they are treated with love & as a family member. I’m happy to offer a meet & greet prior to boarding.

My dog had a great stay with Karin! She was well taken care of and really loved it there. Karin took care of all her needs and sent up updates all the time. We will use Karin’s dog sitting services for our next vacation.

Karin was absolutely amazing in every way. She had a beautiful house for Lola to adventure and her love for dogs was very strong. Lola really enjoyed her time with Karin, they went to a splash pad and took many walks!

Karin was wonderful with our dog, Cooper. She took him on several walks per day, played fetch with him and treated him like he was her own dog. Karin updated us daily with pictures and texts. Karin is very easy to work with and allowed Cooper to have the run of her house. He was very comfortable with Karin and so were we and we would highly recommend Karin to others. We will be using Karin as a dog sitter in the near future.

She was fantastic with my dog. We had a last minute change of plans with our other sitter days before a trip and she took him in no problem. She was very patient with him and made sure he was content in her home. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I will only watch one dog at a time. They are allowed upstairs & downstairs. However, I follow your rules; so, if you don’t want them upstairs, or on the couch, I am consistent with that training. I prefer they stay in my home. If you require them crated when I go out, you will need to bring your crate.

A typical day

A daily game of fetch in the backyard; a walk by the bike path, park & pond; belly rubs & pets; and nighttime movies. ?

I would ask that you provide me with emergency contact & vet information, along with a list of any required meds, preferred feeding times, commands, & any ‘rules’ you’d like me to follow with your dog.
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.
