Who better than a dog trainer?

Pet care experience

To address the gap in pet care; I stopped using Rover after I had my son in 2017. I started up again when he was a little older then moved to Mexico in 2019 and was there when I had my daughter. When I moved back to the states I kept them in school in Mexico and the daily drive to and from Tijuana. Made it so I wasn't comfortable taking in pets as I wouldnt be able to provide the care I strive for. I am now homeschooling them so no more daily crossings into Tijuana and after losing one of my own beloved pets have made my way back to Rover, now in 2023. I grew up with dogs from Pitbulls to Jacks, I currently own a Lab mix, a Boxer and cats. I have also had cats for those mixed family homes and am comfortable providing medication to pets if needed. I have a little GPS device. It's meant to find my phone buy I have used it on my dog for outings and will more than happily use it for your pooch for extra protection. I received my dog training certificate from Animal Behavior College and have continued learning through continued education, shadowing, and real life experience. I treat your fur babies as my own and am constantly expanding my knowledge of dogs. You can bet your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved while you are away.

Karina is great with my dog, Lucky! When I have to leave town for extended trips, Karina is the first one I contact. She loves dogs and will take great care of your pet.

Information Karina B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the disposition of the dog so I know what to prepare for, separation anxiety and such (great tips to work with that, my lab mix suffers from separation anxiety as well). I would also love to know what a typical daily routine at home is like for your pooch and any special requests or medication needed.

A typical day

I like to treat each dog, with owner permission of course, to a puppuccino, on their first day with us. Fetch is huge in our house, we have a box full of tennis balls just for the dogs. And walks are a daily thing, longer walks in the early morning and late evening as well as short potty walks throughout the day
