Carina can care for
Availability
I work fulltime M-F 9am-5pm so anytime after that I am free to walk/do drop ins during the weekday. Free on weekends! I love being outdoors and usually go on morning/evening runs, so if your dog needs some exercise, I’m more than happy to bring them along! Of course but I’m equally happy slowing down for calm strolls with senior pups or lazy dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that really seriously. When I’m walking or sitting, I always keep an eye on how the dog’s feeling: making sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. I make sure the leash is secure, avoid crowded spots if they’re nervous, and stick to whatever routine you prefer. I treat every pet like my own and always send updates and pics so you can see how they’re doing. My main goal is to make sure your fur baby feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
Information Carina S. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to learn more about your dog’s personality, daily habits, energy level, and any special needs they may have. It would also be helpful to know if they have any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or sensitivities, whether it's to other dogs, loud noises, or certain situations. Understanding what they enjoy and what they prefer to avoid ensures I can keep them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while you're gone.
A typical day
I’m a very active person and love to go on runs around the Crystal City/Pentagon City area so if you have a high energy dog I’d love to get their energy out with a jog or extra long stroll around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience
I’ve provided care for 50+ pets, from tiny lap dogs to large, high-energy big dogs, and I’m experienced with reactive dogs of all personalities. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and even insulin injections for diabetic cats and dogs. I only take bookings within the 22202 zip code, so I’m always just a 10–15 minute walk away from your pet! :)

Reviews



Carina is the best. I never have any worries because I know that the pets are well cared for and the apartment will be perfect when I get back.

She’s the best! Cares so much and is always there to help!!


This was my second time booking Carina to take care of my two cats, and just like last time I had absolutely zero issues with her. She was punctual, patient, and attentive, and I can tell my cats thoroughly enjoyed their time with her. Highly recommended!



Carina was fabulous as always. The pets love her and I will say she excels at action photos!
