Calm & Attentive Care
Pet care experience
I provide calm, attentive care that’s tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. I’m especially patient with dogs who benefit from a slower pace, including senior dogs, and I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and not rushed during our time together. I’ve cared for dogs in personal settings for years, from young pups to older dogs, and I’ve developed a strong ability to read their behavior and adjust accordingly. Whether that means a relaxed, sniff-filled walk or sticking closely to a specific routine, I meet each dog where they are. I follow all care instructions closely and prioritize clear communication, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is being cared for with the same level of attention and respect you would give them. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes and make sure pets feel comfortable and settled in their own environment.
Reviews
My dog got so excited when he saw karima come to walk him again. Loves her!
Karima has been great with my senior dog weekly walks. She is extremely punctual and pays great attention to detail. She was accommodating with scheduling a meet and greet before booking and I’m so glad to have found her!
Thank you Karima for walking my dog. Karima was flexible with scheduling and able to walk Monti with short notice. She is attentive and thorough and would recommend her to others.
I've known Karima her whole life and I can’t recommend her enough as a pet sitter. She’s one of the most responsible and genuinely caring people I know, and I’ve seen firsthand how much love and attention she gives to every animal in her care. She’s helped care for our family pets—Major, Sable, and Supreme—and the level of dedication she showed truly meant a lot to me. With Major especially, she was there during a very difficult time toward the end of his life. She made sure he was fed, comfortable, and supported with his joint pain, and most importantly, she gave him consistent care, patience, and kindness that helped him feel safe and at ease. She also regularly helps with Sable and Supreme, whenever she visits us, whether it’s feeding, going on walks, or making sure they’re properly groomed and well cared for. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited they get whenever she comes to visit—it’s clear how much they love and trust her. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive who will treat your pets like family, I would absolutely recommend Karima.
