Pet care experience

Someone You & Ur Pet Can Trust🐾❤️

I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to have a stranger in your home caring for your furry loved one. I will always do a Meet & Greet beforehand so you and your pet can meet me to help ease your mind. I treat all pets with love as if they were my own. I try my best to make them as comfortable as possible. I feel a sense of pride when they are bursting with joy when they see me as I know I have done my job well. Once they are comfortable, I try to make it as fun as possible for the pets so they feel like they’re on vacation too! You will receive photos and updates every visit so that you can rest assured your pet is well taken care of. I’ve always been an avid animal lover. I have been taking care of friends and family members pets for 9+ years. I also have experience working at an animal shelter as well as professional dog grooming. One of my favorite things working at both those places is gaining the trust of anxious and timid dogs who learn that they can feel comfortable and safe with me. I am willing to take all the time they need. I have professional experience with seniors, puppies, and disabled dogs.

Karina has helped us when we have been going through a stressful time and needed care for our dogs. Our dogs absolutely love her and she is so good with them. We are so thankful we have her!

Let me know if there’s any health concerns I need to know about beforehand as well as any food allergies. Also if they have anxiety about certain things such as strangers, loud noises, storms, other dogs, etc.
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.
