Safety, trust & environment

I treat them like I treat my pets. They’re family and they should be respected and understood. I have fear free experiences, which is helpful.

Information Karina R. would like to know about your pet

I do like to know their shyness level with strangers, as some dogs take longer to warm up than others. I also like to know activity and energy level just so I am prepared with anything I may need. In terms of medication or illness, please disclose, I feel comfortable with mostly everything. I will be honest if it something I’ve never done before.

A typical day

I love to go hiking and running if they want or are able to. If they have a yard or park I like to play fetch or whatever they want. I try to provide them with as much mental stimulation as I can.

My geriatric dogs always do so well with her! We just left for over a week and Karina was amazing with communication and all of the photos! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future!

I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!

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.
