Safety, trust & environment

A typical day with me includes playing or lounging around the house and backyard, which is very large, secure and escape proof. They are welcome on my couch and I have extra dog beds too. If your dog likes to play, great! We love playful dogs. If they like to relax, that’s great too. There are tranquil spots here for them to do that. Eating: I separate the dogs during feeding time so they don’t eat other dogs food. Walking: I have a very secure and large yard for the dogs to go potty, walk, run and play. Sleeping: The dogs sleep in my living room overnight. Some have crates, some free roam. Please bring a crate if your dog sleeps in one, otherwise they can use my couch or a dog bed. There is usually a small group of dogs here. For this reason, I do meet and greets in my front yard.

Information Karina B. would like to know about your pet

There is a good chance I will be boarding dogs from other families, so it is important that your dog gets along with other dogs, or at least tolerates being around them and is not aggressive towards me or the other dogs. I want everyone to have a safe, happy and overall good experience while in my care.

A typical day

I will do my best to ease whatever anxiety your dog may have while you are away and make sure they feel welcomed, loved and safe. I will send daily pictures so you know what your pup is up to and how they're doing. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!

Pets

Dedicated Rover sitter & dog lover!

Pet care experience

I love dogs! My house and backyard is set up to accommodate a small pack of furry friends. I share the home with my fiancée, Daniel, and our little dog, Herbee, who we are absolutely obsessed with. I’ve been on Rover for 9 years and make dog care my top priority. I stay home with them all day so they have plenty of company and supervision, whether it’s in the backyard playing or inside hanging out. My fiancée is great with dogs as well and our dog, Herbee, is very well socialized with dogs. If he doesn't like a dog he will just ignore them. We love the company of furry friends! PLEASE GIVE ACCURATE TIMES AND COMMUNICATE IF IT CHANGES. DROP OFF/PICK UP HOURS 7 AM to 8 PM

I rate Karina at the highest level. She was very kind and our dog was so happy you could tell by the pictures and Karina kept us updated the entire way so really a perfect day could not be better.

We feel really lucky to have found a professional sitter. Our dog is standoffish with new people and appreciates space and time to adjust animal- she quickly warmed to Karina. We also appreciate the set up with indoor/outdoor designated dog areas.

I couldn't have left my dog Sasha in better hands! I'm so happy to recommend Karina. Communication was great, but more importantly Karina was sensitive and caring with my dog's nervous shyness and patient while my dog learned to trust. When I picked Sasha up I could tell she was totally comfortable with Karina, 100%.

Karina was wonderful with Buddy. He had a great time on his "doggie vacation," while I was away! She sent pictures every evening, and provided updates. She accommodated all my requests regarding his care, and made me feel confident and relaxed about his welfare. She is trustworthy and truly cares for her furry charges. This is my 2nd time sending my fur baby to her. I have only positive things to say and can wholeheartedly recommend her! She will always be my 1st choice.
