Information Karina H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any allergies ahead of time so that I can put anything they can’t have away. Also, please let me know if your pup is house trained.

A typical day

Every single morning i either ride my bike or walk to the community park (which by tthe way has a wonderful dog park if your pup is into that), and get some exercise. I do the same thing for sunset.

Loving & attentive walker/sitter!

Pet care experience

I spent three wonderful years working at a veterinarian hospital, where I developed a deep affection for dogs. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own due to frequent travel, I cherish the opportunity to care for and enjoy the company of the pups I walk or host. After some life changes, I shifted my focus to my college studies and relocated from Santee, CA, to Poway, CA. I truly missed having dogs around and am now eager to return to what I love. I don’t have any pups of my own (but that’s because we as a family can’t decide), but I will give your pup all the love and then send them home happy & tired.

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.
