Pet care experience

A Pawsitive Home Away From Home 🐾

Hello! As an experienced pet owner of a 13 year old Silky Terrier, I have mastered the art of taking care of pets of all ages. From the playful puppies to the wise seniors, I know how to cater my care to your pets needs. On top of caring for my own pet, I have been taking care of friends and families pets for about 3 years now. This ranges from day sitting to overnight sitting for up to a week. I recently moved away from my dog and miss her very much! I would love to spend my time taking care of more animals and decided Rover is the best place to do that! I'm eager to shower your pet with the same care and affection as my own!

Karina was super responsive and took great care of Gus! I got lots of pictures and updates and would leave him with her again.

Karina was such a thoughtful & sweet sitter! She made time for a meet & greet on short notice, sent a list of suggested items to bring, and was flexible! She sent the cutest photos of Chump and he looked so happy & well taken care of. Karina also lives in a walkable neighborhood near a small grassy area which was perfect for my pup. She was so friendly and considerate, and I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your furry ones! 💓

Karina was great, warm, and patient with our golden girl, Matzah. She tended to Matz’s anxiety needs, cleaning up after accidents, and shared lots of updates and pictures. She provided great communication and care, we’d love to book her again!

Chloe had an awesome weekend with Karina! The communication was great with many pictures/updates of activities sent during the stay. I could tell Chloe felt very comfortable.

Schedule

I work from home so can spend all my time with your pet when they stay with me. My work hours are flexible besides meetings so I will be able to play and take them for walks suited to your pets schedule. This opens my schedule up to take care of your pet any day/time of the week!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a roommate who is also an avid animal lover. Between the two of us your dog with always have a friendly face to keep them occupied. We also have a big living room that can easily fit a dog bed and/or crate. We get plenty of natural light and have big windows for your dog to look outside. Our apartment building has a gated grassy area for your dogs to run around and I live within walking distance to a beautiful dog park.

A typical day

I'm a big walker and explorer. I know very well how cooped up dogs can feel if they aren't let outside to play. Especially in Seattle, dogs are very friendly and love going to dog parks! I have a very nice, huge dog park within walking distance from me if your dog likes to play with other pets. If not, there are plenty of parks and fun sights to take your dog on a walk near me.

Like humans, every dog has their own routine. Especially when their owners are away, it's key to stick to what they're comfortable with. Let me know any special parts of your dogs routine to consider! I usually prefer no -shedders (but not a requirement). I would also prefer calmer dogs since I'm in an apartment, but have plenty of parks around me to get their energy out.
