🐾 Loving Care You Can Trust

Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 10 years old, including overnight stays, and since then I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. One of my biggest experiences was independently caring for a privately owned dog rescue with over 20 dogs. From energetic young dogs, like a 9-month-old German Shepherd–Husky mix, to a blind senior small breed dog, I learned that every dog has their own unique needs, personality, and routine. I also worked at a dog grooming salon, where I gained even more experience handling dogs and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from start to finish.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. Throughout each stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for you to return home to a relaxed pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

Karina watched my Luna while i was visiting my grandmother in el salvador! It was a very last minute trip and she was kind, reliable, and followed our instructions to the T! She is very communicative, on time, and very good with animals. i would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to book her!

If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, Karina is the perfect person. She has such a natural connection with animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. She’s dependable, kind, and always pays attention to the little things that make each dog feel comfortable and happy. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that gives you peace of mind when you’re away. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation and know they would be loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.

Karina is a trust worthy person , who is the first person I call when I need someone to watch my dog when I need someone. She is a wonderful and loving person who takes care of animals as if they were own.
