Safe, Fun Care!

Pet care experience

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!

She is wonderful! She was great with my animals and kept me informed of everything. She even managed to make it to my house with trees blocking roads!

Our dog Toby was treated like family. You could tell from the constant pictures received that he was having a great time. This was our second time with Karina and we will be continuing to have our dog stay with her. She does a great job.

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.

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.
