Information Karina M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your pet's routines, I want to make sure they are comfortable during their stay and not disrupt any structure you have already established. Let me know about their personalities! Do they love to cuddle or are they more of a loner pet? Do they pull on leashes during walks or are they more relaxed? Any information is helpful!

A typical day

I love to keep your pets busy and engaged during their stay. I will treat them as my own and make sure they get all the physical activity they need (as well as all the love!)

Pets

I'm ready to take care of your pet!

Pet care experience

I would be able to take your pets on walks, play with them, feed them, give medicine and anything else you think your pet needs! For boarding we would make sure they get time to play out in our fenced yard. I would adhere to the schedule that you provide and make sure your pet gets fed at the scheduled times as well as walked. If your pet requires bathing or medicine I would make sure to do that as well. I will take your dog to the dog park, vet or wherever you need me to. I am open to taking care of and walking pets of all sizes so long as they are trained and people friendly! I look foward to working with you and your pet!

Karina did a great job taking care of my kitties as usual. Additionally, she went above and beyond in taking care of my many plants while I was away. I was happy to return home to well taken care of kitties and thriving plants.

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.
