Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and trust in every aspect of pet care, whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in your home. During walks, I make sure your pet is secure on their leash, stay alert to their surroundings, and ensure they have a fun and safe experience. In your home, I carefully follow your instructions, keep the environment clean and secure, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, cared for, and well loved, no matter the setting.

Information Karina A. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or behaviors that I should be aware of. Let me know about their energy level, favorite activities, or anything that might make them nervous so I can make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I’m experienced with pets of all types and personalities, so I’m happy to adjust to what works best for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about making sure your pet is happy and cared for. We’ll go on fun walks where they can explore and enjoy all the new smells. I love playing games to keep them active and entertained, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around. If your pet needs a calmer day, I’m happy to spend time giving cuddles and keeping them comfortable. I’ll always tailor the day to what your pet needs to feel their best.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals from a young age and have always been passionate about providing them with the best care. I’m comfortable being in others’ homes and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Over the years, I’ve gained experience training my own dogs, handling energetic and anxious pets, and administering medications for those with special needs. I volunteered for over six months at TRAK (Therapeutic Ranch for Animals and Kids), where I cared for animals of all sizes, from small pets to horses. My responsibilities included feeding, grooming, bathing, and cleaning, often alongside children, which taught me patience and adaptability. Alongside my mother, we created a project to help feed homeless dogs in a poor part of mexico, feeding over 100 dogs. This experience reflects my deep love for animals and dedication to making a difference. In addition to my pet care experience, I’ve held professional jobs where I learned how to work with clients, communicate effectively, and stay reliable and professional. Whether it’s a walk, check-in, or overnight care, I bring that same level of responsibility and dedication to every job.

Karina has loved animals since she was a toddler--innately drawn to them with the greatest respect, she instantly makes a connection (and a friend) for life. I've seen it countless times, and I'd trust her to care for any pet because she *truly* is a dog whisperer. Additionally, Karina is completely trustworthy, punctual, reliable, and a problem-solver. I've hired her and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
