Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—whether that’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean environment with a spacious, secure yard where they can play and relax. When caring for pets in apartments or condos in Boston, I’ve had great experiences following each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. I always prioritize cleanliness, clear communication with pet parents, and a calm, respectful approach in any space I enter.

Information Karin V. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, any medical needs, and how they behave around other animals or strangers. I also appreciate a heads-up about quirks, triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety), and favorite toys or calming techniques. The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like at home.

A typical day

Each day starts with a nice walk or outdoor playtime to get their energy out. I follow the pet’s usual routine closely—whether that means meal times, bathroom breaks, or medication. I love keeping pets active with games like fetch, tug-of-war, or enrichment toys to keep their minds sharp. If they enjoy cuddles or calm time, I’m happy to relax with them too. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away

Trusted Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years, and what sets me apart is my hands-on experience and personal dedication. I successfully trained my own dog from 4 months old to ring a bell when he needed to go potty, bark to communicate when he needed to go outside, and follow basic commands like sit and wait. I’ve also cared for senior pets and have experience adding medication to food for both dogs and cats. I genuinely love connecting with animals and take pride in providing calm, consistent, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs.

Karin is the best! She took not only such great care of both my pets but also the house. It was spotless and she really went the extra mile. Speaking of miles…she is an avid runner and my pup Gheera could not have been more thrilled to go on Karin’s runs with her. She is super communicative and sends lots of adorable picture updates each day. 10/10 would recommend!

Karin took phenomenal care of our dog Arty and our apartment! She was responsive, kind, and professional. I appreciated her picture updates. She even went above and beyond to move our car unexpectedly, when the city knocked on our door. We highly recommend Karin!

Karin watched my 2 cats for a week this summer. She was wonderful! I felt completely confident in her care, and everything was in perfect shape when we got back. The kitties were happy, the house was clean, and all was in order. I would highly recommend Karin to watch your pets. :)

Karin and her daughter did a great job without two cats! We were able to relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’d trust them again!
