Work from home dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! I would love to welcome your pet into my home! I live alone in a 2 bedroom apartment . My apartment complex is very quiet with lots of room for walks, a small dog park, and just a few miles from the Ramsey Creek dog park. I work from home November through March, so I’m home 24-7 to spoil your pet with lots of love and attention! I travel working events and races March through November, so I currently do not have any pets of my own because of my summer travel schedule. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, I grew up on a farm with several dogs, cats, and horses. I’ve previously worked as a vet tech, and I also managed horse farms years ago, so my animal experience is not lacking! My last dog was a 110lbs Bernese Mountain Dog, so large dogs are not a problem for me. Your pet will get plenty of exercise in my care! If they are other dog friendly and good with car rides, I’d love to take them to the dog park. I also go for daily jogs along the greenway next to my home, and I’d love for your pet to come along. I do not have a fenced in yard, so they will be on a leash whenever we go outside. I also live on the 3rd floor, so your pet must be ok with stairs, or small enough for me to carry. For overnight stays, I want to replicate your dogs current routine as closely as possible. Please let me know if they prefer to be in a crate, on a dog bed, or sleep in the bed with me.

I’d rather just keep Karin all to myself, but she deserves this review. I’m an OCD dog mom and Karin is just the best. She’s very caring and intelligent and I’m always at ease leaving my furry child with her.

Karin was great with our dog! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She treated him as if he were her own dog. We will definitely ask for her services again.

Karin was amazing with Bailey the 5 days we were out of town. I had complete peace of mind and didn't have to worry. Karin kept me posted with messages and pictures every day. I definitely hope to have her watch Bailey again in the future.

Karin is awesome. I needed a pet sitter pretty last minute over the holidays. My 8yr Aussie is a sweetheart but also particular about her humans. When Karin came for the meet and greet, Charm greeted her like she had known her forever and was full of love and kisses for Karin. That’s all the proof I needed and Karin was hired on the spot!

Information Karin N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dogs activity level so I can accurately schedule walks, hikes, and dog park time. A tired dog is a happy dog, but I never want to overdo it with the exercise! I occasionally have multiple dogs in my home (especially on the holidays), so please let me know if your dog is not friendly with others, or you would prefer for them to be the only dog in the home. All dogs are supervised at all times when they are together, and are separated during feeding, and anytime I need to leave the home. I have no breed preferences, I’m a lover of all dogs big and small!

A typical day

For the smaller or less active pups, we go on multiple short walks each day around my quiet neighborhood. If your dog is a little more active, we’ll walk about 3-5 miles each day on the greenway across the street from my home, as well as a few shorter walks around the neighborhood. I also live very close to the dog park and would love to take your dog there daily if they’re friendly with others! If your dog is very active, and great on a leash and in the car, please let me know so we can go for hikes as well! I’m also an avid paddle boarder in the summer time, and I’ll happily take your dog with me if they love the water and will be calm enough to hangout on the board.

I currently work from home, so I’m home all day long to care for your pet. I do yoga or go to the gym daily for an hour, so your pet will be alone at that time.
