Safety, trust & environment

Creating a safe environment is paramount. I ensure all windows are securely closed and maintain clean, refreshed water bowls and litter boxes. Your pet's safety and comfort are non-negotiable for me. For transparency, if your cat/profile lacks photos, I'll propose a Zoom call before an in-person meet and greet.

Information Karina C. would like to know about your pet

- How is your cat with strangers? Do they have any quirks? - Do they ever try to sneak out the door? - Do you have a vet nearby? - Does your cat need the A/C or lights on? - How many treats can they have a day? - Do they have any favorite toys? - Does your cat have a favorite hiding spot? - Does he/she get tap water or do they get filtered water?

A typical day

For cats, I follow their lead and always respect their boundaries. Some like to play before eating and others like to eat, groom, and chill. Just let me know what your cat prefers.

Cat care experience

Hi, I’m Karina! I’m a cat mom of 3 serving JC Heights! To me, caring for cats isn't just a job, it is a heartfelt commitment delivered with unwavering dedication and open communication. My goal? To become the cherished cat sitter for those seeking attentive and affectionate care for their furry children. Growing up surrounded by four kitties and a dog, I've recently welcomed a senior cat into my life (don't worry, she permitted me to take care of other kitties). My experience spans various cat breeds, each with distinct personalities and needs. Your kitty's well-being is my priority. Expect daily updates, videos, and photos to ensure you and your cat’s peace of mind. I thrive on being the go-to cat sitter for fellow cat enthusiasts, ensuring your cat receives all the love and attention within the comfort and safety of their home.

Karina was wonderful- we booked last minute because of a trip and I was worried about having someone I didn’t know check in on my cats, but she was so immediately communicative and attentive that I was able to relax and enjoy the whole time I was gone. Her vibes are immaculate, my normally shy cat warmed up to her right away! I can tell she cares, the summaries of visits that she sent sounded just like my furry gremlins. 10/10 would recommend

I always breathe a sigh of relief knowing that my kitties are under Karina’s care. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ My two girls are very fond of her, and I always appreciate getting the thorough updates and photos while I’m away!

Karina is truly a lifesaver - I feel so much better when I leave knowing that my kitties are so well cared for. She is very thorough and I love seeing all of the updates while I’m away! Very grateful to have a sitter who cares about the wellbeing of my fur babies as much as I do.

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.
