All You Need is Love and A Dog
Pet care experience
I adore dogs, and always have. We recently brought Red, our Ruby Cavalier, into our family mix. I was inspired to find him some furry friends to play with since he's an "only dog". Also, dog sitting is a lovely way for our four-year-old daughter to get to know lots of dogs. I've been around dogs my entire life. I've completed a variety of dog training sessions with my Red. I'm presently going through the proper channels to have my Red certified as a Therapy Dog. Dogs have been reported to comment on my fun-loving nature and overall command of their doggie ways (i.e.: doggie 101). Clients seem to love my responsible and communicative nature and that I welcome their beloved pets with open arms. Our family tries to treat them like one of own during their time with us. Red is waiting to become your pup’s new best friend. He adapts to his visitors energy levels, always leaving them wanting to come back. My daughter is a bit of a dog-whisperer herself, and my husband is smitten with dogs to boot. We work as a team, but I carry the majority of the dog responsibilities around the house. I'd like to think I bring my almost 20-year corporate experience to the table to blend my passion for dogs and professionalism from the corporate world. Consequently, my entire family (especially me!), absolutely love what I am currently doing. I am in a season of life where I really feel I can offer a lot to new furry friends and it in turn makes me extremely happy! :) I consider myself an avid traveler, lover of books, photography, and gardening. I’m outdoors gal, big on hiking, plants, birds, animals in general and a foodie! I am a firm believer in the saying, "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole"...Roger Caras

Cubbie loves his day with Karin! She sent lots of photos. Would definitely use again.
Karin is an incredible dog sitter and all-around amazing, warm, and caring person. We booked Karin for dog sitting during the day while I was at work. This was the first time my dog stayed with someone other than a family member so of course I was nervous at first….but Karin put my nerves to rest almost immediately. She asked a lot of thoughtful questions in order to get to know my dog and to make sure this was a good fit for him. I really appreciated the meet-and-greet that we had so I could get to know the surroundings and Karin and she could get to know us too. One of my favorite parts about booking Karin is that she sent pictures throughout the day of my dog going on walks, eating, taking naps, and playing with the other dogs. (I almost felt guilty taking my dog home at the end of the day because he was having such a great time with Karin and the other dogs!) I will definitely be booking Karin in the future. I know that I won’t have to worry about my dog while he is at Karin’s and that peace of mind for me is PRICELESS. I feel like Karin is the best dog sitter in Solana Beach!! I am so happy to have found her!!
Charlie and Lexie had a great time with Karin and Red and we loved receiving the photos of them while we were at the fair.
Karin is amazing!!! She is truly a dog lover and she made my baby Gianni feel right at home! Her dog was so sweet and immediately bonded with mine. She was great at sending updates and Gianni didn't want to leave. Thank you Karin for providing a loving warm environment for my Gianni. I appreciate everything you did immensely and will definitely be back soon!!! ?

A typical day
We will accompany Red on his (minimum) two walks a day around the dog-friendly neighborhood. In between active outside activity, I will be home with both your pup and Red, watching them and taking them out for regular potty breaks. There are lots of doggie toys to play with here in the house too! Our home is very livable and your pup is invited to treat it as their own (i.e. couch and bed aren't off limits). The back yard consists of a patio, as we are townhome dwellers in a two-story building. Two cats live upstairs, but the downstairs is where we spend most of our time. It’s a very dog friendly neighborhood with lots and lots of potential friends around.
