Pet care experience

Safe and loving caretaker 💕

I’ve taken care of my beloved family dog, a Miniature Schnauzer, since her adoption when I was 11 years old. Over the years I’ve done petsitting for dogs of small-large sizes, and ages 1 year-14 years, for families close to mine or with a more distant connection. I pride myself in my close attention to your pet’s health and safety: strict diet adherence (sorry doggos, I know you would prefer all the human food!), responsible leashing on walks, restraint in the car, and plenty of love and play. Most recently I cared for a very sweet medium-large Australian Shepherd who loves frisbee fetch and his squeaky toy :) My motivation for seeking pet care roles comes from my love for spending time with dogs and cats, and (let’s be honest) I’m a college student who could use a little more cash and a little more critter cuddles.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care deeply about safety in everything I do, and especially with your fuzzy family member. I also work in a research lab, so I am no stranger to following procedures- however complicated your pet’s routines are, I will stick to them! If your pet likes to visit parks a little bit away from your home, I’m happy to take them on short drives. I have a valid driver’s license and have never gotten a ticket, and I will only allow drives if your pet has a soft carrier, harness seat belt, or other restraints. I believe keeping pets entertained helps them stay out of dangerous mischief, so it’s a good thing scritches and play are some of my favorite things to do too :)

Karin bonded with my otherwise standoffish cat with her patience and calm demeanor. She was very communicative with us and not phased when our cat has her sassy moments. I would book Karin again in a heartbeat.

Karin did a great job taking care of my kitty (and I booked last minute too!) She even brought in some of my packages and cleaned up after my cat. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.

Karin was wonderful! She responded quickly, was very sweet, asked thoughtful questions, was attentive, and I came home to a happy and well cared for dog. Highly recommend and would love to book with her again.
