Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, playful friend for your pets
I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up caring for a Chow mix, a Chihuahua, and several tortoises. I have also lived with cats via roommates. Since then I have pet sat for my family and friends many times. Joining rover because I miss having more time with pets. Caring for them has taught me so much about the little things that make each of them feel loved and at home and how unique each pet’s personality can be. I have cared for several different kinds of dogs and cats. I have experience giving pets medication if needed and walking dogs (sometimes multiple at once). I have the patience to let them sniff as long as they want because that’s how they experience the world around them. Most importantly I just want to make pets feel safe and cared for while their humans are away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I try to focus on keeping their normal routine. I follow their feeding, walking, medication and care instructions carefully while also giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, keeping things clean and tidy. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind and feel like you’re right here with them.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Karina for several years and she is one of the most reliable people I know. Many times over the years when I have had to go out of town she has cat sat for me. My cat takes medication daily and is a picky eater but I know I never have to worry when he is with Karina. She is communicative, timely, organized, friendly, and you can tell she really cares about the animals she watches. Know that your fur baby is in good hands when she is caring for them.
Karina has been a reliable dog sitter for me over the course of 15 years spanning two different dogs. She assured that they were well fed, exercised, and cared for. She has been responsible for my dogs for more than a week at a time and I felt complete comfortable that my fur babies were well taken care of.
