Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment community with plenty of grass areas for walking, and I also have my own fenced patio that would provide larger pets an area to sit outside and sun-bathe while remaining safe. I don't have any pets of my own to conflict with your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. In my care, pets are always supervised, and I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I follow pet parents' instructions closely, maintain open communication, and provide regular updates.

Pet care experience

I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am comfortable handling different breeds and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced in basic training, medication administration, and maintaining routines to ensure a stress-free experience. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or playtime, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry friend will be treated like family!

I’ve known Karina for years, and during that time, I’ve seen her develop a true passion for caring for animals. She has always been a responsible and loving dog owner, and her experience goes far beyond just caring for her own pets. She’s helped watch my dogs multiple times, and I always feel confident knowing they’re in her hands. Karina has an incredible way with animals — she’s attentive, patient, and ensures that they’re comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just cuddling, she goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and experienced dog sitter on Rover!

Karina is incredibly responsible, detail-oriented, and thoughtful in everything they do. Their patience with pets is remarkable. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and gentle she is, and I have no doubt they’d treat any pet like their own. Anyone would be lucky to have Karina looking after their furry friend!
