Active & an Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Truly what sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am doing this for the opportunity to spend more time with furry friends. I grew up with big dogs, small dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles but haven’t had a pet in recent years due to the fact that I don’t want to get a pet of my own until I’m no longer a renter. I work at a marine mammal hospital and Rover is my outlet to spend time with the pets I wish I could have. This means that I will treat your pet like a prince or princess and you’re the queen or king since I will obey how you choose to parent your pet. I’ve spent ten years working with youth from kindergarten to college students. Throughout my experiences pet sitting, I’ve found that pets are a breeze compared to me single-handedly spending a day with a group of 12 kids at Disneyland. I’m an active runner, hiker, beach-goer, and ball thrower that’s working from home and have plenty of flexibility to give your pet what they need. If your pet is less active, I’m happy to work with that as well and would love company as I read, bake, and paint.

Karina is awesome! We met up a week before my trip and made sure there was a bond with my dogs. You can tell she loves dogs and would take care of them with love and respect. She checked in throughout my trip and sent photo updates. She followed my care instructors and my dogs were sad when we returned. I can tell they were sad she wasn’t home and had left. I will be using Karina again and recommend her.

I had an emergency and took my baby to Karina. She was so accommodating and Abbey loves her. She’s spoiling her so I’m hoping she will want to come back home soon!! I highly recommend her!

Karina is a great sitter and took care of my 8 month old husky in her heat while we went away for the day. Super east to communicate with and always responded fast to my text. I would recommend her and will be using her if I am ever out that way again.
