Pet care experience

Safe, Fun Care!

Thank you for visiting my page! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud Rover Star Sitter. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important safety and trust are — they are always my top priority. Your dog will receive lots of attention, affection, and care while staying with me. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing, and simply making them feel comfortable and relaxed. I always try to follow each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe and happy while their family is away. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing. Sometimes, just for fun, I practice little games or simple commands with dogs and take cute photos of them during their stay — you can see some examples on my profile. I’m currently a full-time mom, which gives me the flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention during the day. Our home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. Your dog will be treated like family here. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

We had a wonderful experience with Karina! She is incredibly reliable and attentive. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind knowing Teddy was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely ask Karina to care for Teddy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Karina was great taking care of my puppy, she sent me videos, photos and updates everyday, which gave us so much piece of mind while we were away. When we picked her up she was brushed, clean and already fed. She always answered our texts immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

I’m always home to carefully watch your dog, providing cozy beds, toys and balls for their comfort and fun. For safety, I can crate your dog if needed. I offer personalized care, follow routines and prioritize their happiness.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy walks with ENERGETIC dogs, exploring new smells and navigating obstacle courses. For YOUNGER dogs, I'm great at practicing commands. My own dog is a SENIOR now, so I know how to be gentle when walking your senior dog.
