Pet lover and the love they give

Hello friends. I’m Karina — a lifelong animal lover with a very special place in my heart for dogs and cats. After losing my beloved furry baby Toby, a sweet Rottweiler who filled my life with joy for 11 wonderful years, I wasn’t ready to have another dog of my own. But I missed that pure love, that happy tail wagging at the door, and all the good energy they bring into our lives. That’s how I found Rover — and it’s been the best decision ever! For the past three years, I’ve been caring for amazing pups from my neighborhood, friends, and now through this community. Each one has given me new memories, cuddles, and little paw prints on my heart. ❤️ I live with my husband who is a pet lover too, in a great neighborhood to walks your dog. My family is full of animal lovers too (dogs, cats, even horses!), so caring for pets has always been a part of who I am. I truly love getting to know each dog’s personality, figuring out what makes them happy, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into my little circle of furry best friends! 🐾💕 I speak spanish and english. ¡Hola Amigos! Soy Karina, una amante de los animales de toda la vida con un lugar muy especial en mi corazón para los perros y gatos. Después de perder a mi querido bebé peludo Toby, un dulce Rottweiler que llenó mi vida de alegría durante 11 maravillosos años, no estaba lista para tener otro perro. Pero extrañaba ese amor puro, esa cola feliz meneando en la puerta y toda la buena energía que traen a nuestras vidas. Así fue como encontré a Rover, ¡y ha sido la mejor decisión! Durante los últimos tres años, he cuidado cachorros increíbles de mi vecindario, amigos y ahora a través de esta comunidad. Cada uno me ha regalado nuevos recuerdos, abrazos y pequeñas huellas en mi corazón. ❤️ Vivo con mi esposo en un vecindario muy amigable, tranquilo y de lindos paisajes para los paseos de tu perrito. Mi familia también está llena de amantes de los animales (perros, gatos, ¡incluso caballos!), así que cuidar mascotas siempre ha sido parte de mí. Me encanta conocer la personalidad de cada perro, descubrir qué los hace felices y asegurarme de que se sientan seguros y queridos mientras estás fuera. ¡Tengo muchas ganas de conocer a tu pequeño peludo y darle la bienvenida a mi pequeño círculo de mejores amigos peludos! 🐾💕 Hablo español e inglés.

Karina did a great job looking after our dog for us. It was a short one day stay. But she kept us informed the entire time with pictures of our fur baby. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Karina! She took great care of our dogs. She texted often and sent photos. We have used her in the past and will use again in the future!

Karina did it again! My dog Cookie had a great time with her. There was even a small incident, but Karina handled it like a pro, she contacted me right away, kept me informed, and resolved it quickly. I always feel confident leaving Cookie in her care!

Karina was excellent with Stella. Stella can be shy, but she warmed up to her quickly. She gave constant updates with photos on how she was doing which I really appreciate. I would definitely use her services again. Highly recommend for sure!! 💕

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that being away from our pet can cause stress for us so I will keep you in touch. If you need it, I can administer oral pills to your pet as long as a veterinarian has prescribed it. Entiendo que alejarnos de nuestra mascota puede causarnos estrés por lo que te mantendré informado cada día. Y si lo necesitas, puedo administrar pastillas orales a tu mascota siempre que se lo haya recetado un veterinario.

A typical day

I can play with your pet in my yard and take it for a walk in my neighborhood that has many gardens and walkways that can be fun for them. Podre jugar con tu mascota en mi jardín trasero y llevarlo a pasear por mi vecindario que tiene muchos jardines y caminerias que pueden ser divertidas para ellos!

I would like to know in depth about your pet, everything he enjoys doing and the things that bother him in order to give him a harmonious and happy stay or walk! Me gustaría conocer a profundidad sobre tu mascota, todo lo que disfruta hacer y las cosas que le incomodan, para poderle dar una estadía o un paseo armonioso y feliz!
