I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom and pet sitter, which gives me plenty of time to focus on each pet’s individual needs. I’m home throughout the day and able to provide tons of enrichment, playtime, cuddles, and multiple walks to keep your pet happy and fulfilled. On the rare occasions I do step out, I stay connected through my Furbo, where I can see, hear, speak to, and even toss treats to your pet. Their comfort, routine, and well-being are always my top priority!

Safety, trust & environment

When Pets Stay in My Home: Pets are always welcome on my furniture, but for safety, I only allow lounging—not active play—on the couch or bed. Some dogs are more relaxed than others, and I want to make sure no one gets trampled by pups who are feeling extra playful. I provide multiple cozy beds, open crates, and even a full couch where dogs can nap, relax, or hang out comfortably. At mealtime or during enrichment activities involving food, I use crates and gates to keep everyone separated. This helps prevent food guarding, ensures safety, and allows each dog to enjoy their meal or treat peacefully. I follow a gentle balance of play and rest throughout the day—mornings and mid-days typically include engaging activities, while other parts of the day are for downtime and relaxation. When Caring for Pets in Their Own Home: I carefully follow all instructions provided during our Meet & Greet and take detailed notes on everything from greeting routines and home entry instructions to allergies and any behaviors I should be aware of. This helps me provide a seamless, comfortable, and safe experience for your pet in their own home, keeping them happy and cared for while you’re away.

Information Karina H. would like to know about your pet

• Behaviors to be aware of (anxiety, food aggression, etc) • Illnesses/Medications • Potty trained or not • How they do on a leash/walk • High energy or low energy • Crate trained or not

A typical day

Boarding: Boarders enjoy multiple walks throughout the day, and on weekends I love taking them on fun self-care outings like hikes or beach trips. They also receive plenty of one-on-one attention through personalized enrichment activities to keep them engaged, fulfilled, and happy during their stay. Daycare: Daycare pups get multiple walks each day along with customized enrichment activities tailored to their needs. I make sure they stay physically active, mentally stimulated, and well-supervised throughout the day.

I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals of all kinds, and my experience spans a wide range of species. I have hands-on experience with positive reinforcement (R+) dog training and hold certifications in Dog Enrichment, Pet CPR and First Aid, as well as Captive Wildlife Care and Enrichment. Providing the best possible care for pets is my passion, and I’m committed to ensuring their well-being, happiness, and enrichment.

Karina did a great job watching Anastasia. She took plenty of photos to check in with us and was very responsive by texts! Thanks will book again if we need her!

My dog lived his stay. If I lived in the state I'd use her more often! Highly recommend her if you get the chance!

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.
