Information Karina M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account/prepare for beforehand. How do they feel around other pets? Are they leash trained? Does it take them a while to warm up to new people or environments? Do they chase after animals on walks? Anything is helpful

A typical day

Your pet will be stimulated both physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in the neighborhood, and can brush up on training if you’d like.

Karina made Miki’s first walk in her new neighborhood easygoing and stress-free. Karina provided a comforting presence to not only Miki but us as well, and we will definitely continue to book with her in the future.

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.
