Highlights
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.

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 :)
Ratings and reviews
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 is absolutely amazing! She was super thoughtful and caring with our pets. Highly recommend!
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 took great care of Eddie!
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.
Karin took great care of Eddie!
