🏠FULL TIME. SAFETY IS MY PRIORITY.

Pet care experience

FIRST TIME ROVER CLIENTS please ask about my $20 off your first time booking. PLEASE NOTE: Due to safety and comfort of my own dog, a 4 lbs, 15 year old Yorky, and our smallest guests,I can only accept dogs up to 25-35 lbs. Meet and Greet is MANDATORY prior to booking a stay with FurBnB. Dogs that are aggressive or show signs of extreme mistrust will not be accepted. Nature and animals are my lifelong passions. Since I remember, I have been rescuing kittens, observing wildlife, birdwatching, and donating to shelters. I have responsively bred Yorkshire professionally in the past and advocated against puppy mills. Dogs have most amazing ability to love unconditionally, and it’s my honor to care for them with highest intention.

Georgie loved it so much when he was with Karina. He was well cared for and had a lot of fun playing with new friend Bella. I could tell he loved it because he wasn’t ready to leave. I had to remind him several times that we had to leave but he kept going back yo play. Now I will not be guilty having to leave him because I know he is having a great time himself😊. Thank you Karina!

I can’t even begin to say how pleased I am with Karina’s services. Obviously I was not there to witness firsthand but between all the fabulous pictures and videos and informative updates it is abundantly clear how well my fur babies were cared for! I have never felt more happy and comfortable with my two dogs in another’s company than with Karina. Very happy customer!

Karina is AMAZING. My husband and I were in a pinch and needed good care for our puppy. I’ll admit I was nervous to have anyone watch my young puppy at first, but as soon as I met Karina my nerves were gone. She made both my husband and I feel very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. She sent updates and pictures through the day. She was attentive and cared for all of Richard’s needs. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my boy!

Love sending my fur baby to Karina. She has the most pleasant personality and provides great care The best part is that she sends me lots of pictures so I still feel connected while I am away and I know my fur baby is being loved!

Safety, trust & environment

My home environment is absolutely perfect to comfortably host a fur baby! I live on a dead end street at the edge of a beautiful, forest like park with a mile long path for walking and playing. Dog in my care will accompany me on a mile walk couple times a day or more, depending on their energy and abilities, I love walking in nature! I have a large fenced in yard with two patios for lunging around or napping on a nice sunny day. My house is pet friendly, cozy, and clean. The animals are allowed on big couch to cuddle with family members or nap. Dog beds, blankets and toys are available and regularly washed and replaced. My house is your pets house, and they are free to safely use it as they please. I do not crate dogs, unless requested. Dogs are never left unattended, left outside unsupervised, or lucked away. The number of dogs I accept at any given time is determined by various factors, but is always dictated by my confidence in myself, my abilities and skills. Dogs safety and comfort is at the top of my priorities. Animals at FurBnB are well cared for, loved, and respected. They will receive all they need whether it’s playtime, exercise, snuggles, or a peaceful time for themselves.

Information Karina B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs medical history, special needs and preferences so I can ensure the best care for them. I would like to know if your dog accepts cats and other dogs as well as older children.

A typical day

Pups in my care are never bored! I am physically active and love being outside in nature. We will walk in the most beautiful park that’s right in my backyard! The park is enclosed inside a safe subdivision where everyone knows each other and no one is a stranger. There is a stream and small forested areas throughout to explore. In my large backyard we will play fetch and run around freely. On hot summer days pups love having fun in a sprinkler, chasing my daughters and each other. Most of my fur guests are reoccurring visitors which allows for the ability to for friendships between dogs and form strong bunds with me, their care taker. They are always super happy and excited to see their favorite playmate. I always prioritize one on one moments, even if brief, with each dog each day to remind them that I care and love them, and to make them feel safe and special. Afternoons, are for naps and winding down from a busy day, after dinner we take our final walk at the golden hour, and we snuggle and watch movies with family or play family games, dogs are usually tired at that point and enjoy to cozy time on the couch and a head scratch. At bedtime, your pet will be invited to sleep wherever they like, but they usually end up snuggled in mine or my girls bed.

Taking care of animals is my full time job. I do not have any other obligations or distractions while our animal guests are in my care. 100% of my attention and time is devoted to animal care and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! My 2 girls are at school during the day and summer camp in the summer which allows for uninterrupted, quality care of your fur baby in my home. My family, not only respects and supports but, fully participates in all the efforts made to ensure safe and happy boarding of each and every guest.
