Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable pet care with heart! 💛
I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up surrounded by pets of all kinds—including hamsters, bunnies, cats, and dogs. That lifelong experience taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have prior pet care/sitting experience and understand the ins and outs of making this a great experience for your pets! I’m currently a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, and I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are safe and happy when you’re away. My goal is to provide that same peace of mind for other pet parents by creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for!

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any specific routines or care instructions closely, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I’m confident working with pets of all needs. I create a nurturing environment, always giving each pet the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel happy and secure, knowing how loved they are. 💛
Ratings and reviews
She’s the absolutely best. Great communication. My cats like her more than they like me.
Karina was wonderful with my gang of five. She fed them, administered medication and still found time to love on all of my babies. Communication was excellent, heartwarming photos and texts everyday. She showed genuine care for each of their individual personalities.
Karina did awesome checking in on our cats, taking good care of them, playing and interacting with them every visit. Would highly recommend booking her for your pet needs.
The best sitter you will find on Rover. Karina was very professional, kind and patient with my senior cat. She took care of them as if they were her own. She was very thoughtful and considerate of letting me know if something non-pet related happened. We had a rainstorm and our trash was full of water so she took the poop bags home to throw it away in another trash. She is very detail oriented and cleaned up the litter my cats managed to drag across the house. I really can’t say enough good things. If you want a sitter that is experienced, trustworthy and communicates… look no further.
Karina is the most thoughtful, sweet and kinda caregiver and pet owner that I know. I have known Karina for almost 10 years now, and during that time, she has shown ME how to love and care for pets the right way. My Golden Retrievers, Butter and Biscuit, absolutely adore Karina. She is patient with them and has shown them so much love. Karina is always the first to come up to animals for snuggles and cuddles. Anyone would be ever so lucky to have Karina take care of their animals.
Karina is seriously the best with animals. She’s always been that person who stops everything to help an animal—it’s just who she is. I’ve trusted her with my (very large) mastiff, Maya, and she went above and beyond. Not only did she keep Maya happy and cared for, she even took her on car rides and gave her a bath—like, who does that?! I always feel totally at ease knowing Maya is with her. You can genuinely see how much she cares for animals in everything she does. Any pet in her care is in the best hands!

I work remote and have flexibility in my main schedule. My two kitty cats are on a routine so I am happy to keep your pet in theirs. My services will be provided any day of the week as long as I’m available :)
