Pet care experience

Experienced certified pet caregiver

Hi! My name is Karina, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had four large dogs, four cats, and small pets all at the same time, so caring for animals of all kinds has always come naturally to me. I graduated from SUNY Delhi with a degree in Veterinary Technology, where I received professional training and hands-on experience working with both small and large animals. My background gives me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with attention to their health, safety, and individual needs. Today, I share my home with three cats and help care for my dad's rescue pit bull, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, medication administration, or just some extra love while you're away, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Certified, experienced, and passionate about animals—I can't wait to meet your pets! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

When going to a client’s home I like to make sure I treat it like my own! I know how important it is to be very careful and mindful of ensuring that your pet doesn’t get out of the house, is left from my care with everything they need for the rest of their day, and have someone who is constantly vigilant. Whether you have a fenced in backyard, just want me to pop in and stay inside to play with your pet, or take them for a walk, I always make sure that I am aware of my surroundings and are careful to keep your pet, myself, and others, safe and healthy. Please let me know if your dog has any specific health issues, allergies, or behavioral issues, such as aggression towards other dogs, reactive toward animals, or people.

Karina is a caring soul and I trust her with my fur baby completely! Dependable and reliable. My dog is about 100lbs and sometimes pulls, but she is able to remain in control and provide correction.
