she took my dog last minute and was very nice and communicated the entire time !!
Our Layla had the best time visiting Katrina. Thank you for all the pictures. 🤍
Sent lots of photos which made us feel better about our first time with Karina and Toast! Nora seemed to have a great time!
Great visit! Felt safe leaving my dog with Karina! Clean house and nice neighborhood.
Karina took excellent care of our pup! She sent updates and he looked so happy all the time. Clearly he had plenty of play, exercise, and love! Karina left us worry-free while we traveled and was very flexible with us.
Karina did a great job watching my kitty, Piper, in my apartment. She sent lots of pictures and was communicative.

Mornings before 7am or Evening after 5pm, as I do still have a full time job at Iowa State University. I'm open to Daytime Visits in Ames, IA as I'm there every day anyway. I can do weekends and/or minor holidays as well.

I live in a house in Beaverdale that has a fully fenced in yard and is in a lovely neighborhood for walking one's dog on a nice day!
Pets
A typical day
I love going to the dog park with pups or playing with cats at home. I have several cat toys that my cat loves and I'm sure yours would too.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyKarina can host up to 2 pets per night
- Let me know if your dog needs any special attention or workaround that isn't typical. I'm sure we can figure out how to make it work. I'm open-minded and adaptable.
