The fun dog house!

Pet care experience

🐾 Welcome to My Pet Haven! Hello, pet parents! My name is Karina, and I'm thrilled to be your go-to pet sitter on Rover. I've spent 20 wonderful years immersed in the world of pet care, fostering a deep love and understanding of our four-legged friends. I have a fully-fenced backyard where my Weimaraner plays and burns off his endless energy and I work from home, enabling constant care and training to my pup! 🏡 Home Sweet Home: I reside in a home, providing a warm and pet-friendly environment. Our home is equipped with a fully fenced backyard with tons of grass and gravel for pets to run and play! 🐕 Breed Savvy: Having shared my life with a diverse range of furry companions, I've had the pleasure of caring for various breeds, each with its unique personality and needs. From the spirited energy of Weimaraners (that I currently have) to the gentle affection of Golden Retrievers, I cherish the diversity that our canine friends bring. 🌟 Training and Certification: I've invested time in enhancing my pet care skills, completing tons of obedience training and proper care protocols! This ensures a safe and enriching experience for your beloved pets. 🤲 Volunteer and Foster Experience: In addition to being a pet parent, I've dedicated my time to volunteering at multiple pet rescue organizations gaining valuable insights into animal behavior and welfare. I've also opened my home to foster pets, providing loving care to those in need. 🚑 Medical Care Proficiency: Your pets' health and well-being are my top priorities. I am well-versed in administering medications, providing basic first aid, and monitoring for any signs of discomfort or illness. Please let me know if your pet requires additional care along with a detailed list of instructions for your pup! 📅 Flexible Availability: I understand that life can be hectic, so I strive to be as flexible as possible. Whether you need a daily dog walker or a weekend pet sitter, I'm here to accommodate your schedule and ensure your pets receive the attention they deserve. 💌 Communication is Key: Expect regular updates, photos, and messages about your pet's adventures while in my care. Clear communication is the foundation of trust, and I want you to feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I look forward to the opportunity to welcome your pets into my home and provide them with a safe, loving, and tail-wagging good time! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let the paw-some adventures begin! Karina 🐶🐾

I'm the owner of a very active boxer (1.5 years old) and I have had Karina dog sit for me on several occasions. I am happy to share that I always have an excellent experience hiring Karina to care for my Benny. Karina is kind & considerate and always provides me with tons of updates and pics each time she dog sits, as I requested. Its nice because I know that my Benny is being taken care of and given plenty of attention. Karina shared that she has lots of experience with active dogs, especially since she has a friendly Weimaraner puppy herself (Finley is adorable!). She has a big yard and theres tons of safe space for the dogs to play. Karina goes above and beyond and makes my dog feel at home whenever I drop him off at her house. Shes very professional and considerate to my detailed care instructions. Id highly recommend her services for any dog owner.

I've worked with Karina over the last two years with my highly anxious Aussie, and she LOVES her. My aussie takes a long time to warm up to people, and within a few minutes, Mia was excited to play fetch and cuddle with Karina. I am a pretty clingy dog mom, and Karina allows me to constantly check in on my dog a few times a day to see how things are going with adorable pics + updates. I couldn't ask for a better "auntie" for my little Mia! I know Mia is in GREAT hands whenever she stays with Karina and Finley; if you're looking for someone who will love your dogs like they're own and have a fun friend to play with, these two are it!
