I am currently working as a nanny who does have a little bit of a fluctuating schedule so contacting me ahead of time to discuss care and needs for your furry friend is appreciated. With that said, I am more than happy to include your pet into my day any day so they can have the attention, care, and love that they need!

Pet care experience

Hello there! With a genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and cats, I’m here to give your pets the same care and attention they get at home. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I tailor every service to your pet’s personality and needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet like family. You can trust me to keep your animals safe, happy, and loved while you're away! My entire life I have been an animal lover. I have volunteer experience at the Humane Society and the Minnesota zoo along with plenty of experience dog walking and dog/cat sitting for friends and family. I am currently an independent student studying various forms of bodywork and holistic living along with working as a nanny. Through having previously been a full time student and full time at work, life was quite busy and time consuming and this last year was focused on tending to the needs of my elder cat so adding more fury members to my family has been on a bit of a hold. As for now, spending time taking special care of the furry friends around me is just as wonderful.

Karina was incredibly communicative and treated both our pup and our home with immense care and respect. Stanley fell in love and can’t wait to see her again very soon!

This was the first time we used Rover, and were kind of nervous. Karina was great! Good communication, reliable, our pup was very happy when we returned home and our house was just as we’d left it. We had a great experience.

Karina saved me when I waited until the last second to get a house and dog sitter. Sent photos of the pups while I was gone, maintained good and sufficient contact, and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone!

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.
