Availability

As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and supervision. Pets are never left alone for long and receive regular interaction, feeding, and enrichment throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care. On nice days, pets enjoy supervised time in our spacious backyard for fresh air and play. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with a spacious backyard for supervised play and fresh air. Because I’m home most of the day, pets receive plenty of attention and are rarely left alone. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Information Karina H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any routines or schedules or special needs! I am here to provide your pets the best care while you aren’t home. I understand many pets have separation anxiety and will do my best to accommodate their needs.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and supervised outdoor time in the backyard. I tailor each day to your pet’s energy level and preferences—whether that means a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or a cozy nap on the couch. My goal is to keep pets active, engaged, and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine.

Backyard Play & Cozy Care 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom, dog mom to Kiwi (my Havanese puppy), and cat mom to Hunter (my rescue orange tabby). Your pet will be treated like family in our home. We have a large backyard for supervised play, plenty of space to relax, and lots of love and attention to give. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddle sessions. I send regular photo updates so you’ll never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. As a Navy family, reliability and trust are important to us, and my husband helps with drop-in visits and boardings (also a star sitter on rover) . We look forward to welcoming your pet into our home! 🐾💕

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.
