Pet care experience

Caring for your furbabies!

I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. I had fostered 2 adult Dobermans that had very specific care instructions for their sicknesses. I also care for my own dogs: Haru, and Koma who are 2 sweet Shiba Inu’s—with the help of my husband, so this should not interfere in care for your pets. Since working on Rover, I have also had the pleasure to care for many cats as well and enjoy my time with them :) I am a stay-at-home mom, there may be times when I have to bring my baby with me to see your pets, of course I would ask you first if this is okay with you.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would never allow a pet to be alone outside unsupervised or not leashed (if they need to be). While in your home, I promise to be respectful of your property and your home. I will only be in designated areas with your pet, if instructed to do so.

Karina took great care of our three pets while we were out of town, even our somewhat troublesome cat who is pretty standoffish with strangers. She sent us multiple pictures per day and kept us up to date. My dog had some health issues while she was caring for them (diarrhea) and she let me know promptly, picked up some meds that I arranged through his vet, and cleaned up the mess in my home. Highly recommend her for your pet care!

Karina is a sweet human who treated our babies with so much love! Was super responsive, sent loads of pictures and updates and dealt with two old medicated dogs very well! We appreciate you Karina! Will definitely be using her moving forward.

Karina was amazing! She was always perfectly on time to take our dogs out and they definitely enjoyed having her around.

Karina is awesome!! She took such good care of our 2 dogs while we were away. Our older dog requires injections and extra TLC, and Karina made sure he was very well taken care of. I'm so grateful!

I get so anxious leaving my doggies but Karina makes it easy!! I felt so much relief having her with them. She took care of my bigger dog who is undergoing heartworm treatments and was able to give him all his medicines and she also took care of my small anxious doggie and was so kind and patient to her. Thank you Karina!! 💚
