Pet care experience

FIRST TIME ROVER CLIENTS please ask about my $20 off your first time booking. PLEASE NOTE: Due to safety and comfort of my own dog, a 4 lbs, 15 year old Yorky, and our smallest guests,I can only accept dogs up to 25-35 lbs. Meet and Greet is MANDATORY prior to booking a stay with us. Dogs that are aggressive or show signs of extreme mistrust will not be accepted. Nature and animals are my lifelong passions. Since I remember, I have been rescuing kittens, observing wildlife, birdwatching, and donating to shelters. I have responsively bred Yorkshire professionally in the past and advocated against puppy mills. Dogs have most amazing ability to love unconditionally, and it’s my honor to care for them with highest intention.

Karina is ALWAYS amazing and definitely went extra above and beyond for my little Bambi girl. It was her 8th birthday while I was away and Karina and her lovely family threw a huge birthday party for her and sent me so many photos! It brought so much brightness to my day mowing that even though I couldn’t be there with my baby she was being showered with love on her special day. Karina and her family are always flexible with my chaotic schedule and last minute bookings/changes. Traveling for work is never easy and booking with her takes a huge weight off my shoulders every time 💕

Pawsitively Perfect Review We recently entrusted our furry family member to Karina and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we dropped off our beloved pooch, we knew he was in capable hands. Karina went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable and loved during his stay. Communication was prompt and reassuring, with regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease while we were away. It was evident that Karina truly understands dogs and their individual needs. Our dog returned home happy, healthy, and undoubtedly spoiled!

Karina was FANTASTIC! You can tell she really loves what she does. Luci absolutely loved being there and running in the huge backyard and playing with the other dogs and kiddo's. Will definitely be making Karina our primary dog sitter when possible.

Karina and family were friendly and accommodating for a last minute reservation. Tintin was happy and they also shared pictures which was assuring. We’ll be looking forward for future stays with them

Safety, trust & environment

My home environment is absolutely perfect to comfortably host a fur baby! I live on a dead end street at the edge of a beautiful, forest like park with a mile long path for walking and playing. Dog in my care will accompany me on a mile walk couple times a day or more, depending on their energy and abilities, I love walking in nature! I have a large fenced in yard with two patios for lunging around or napping on a nice sunny day. My house is pet friendly, cozy, and clean. The animals are allowed on big couch to cuddle with family members or nap. I have crates and pen If requested. Dog beds, blankets and toys are available and regularly washed and replaced. My house is your pets house, and they are free to safely use it as they please. I do not crate dogs and I never have more than 3 dogs in my care to guarantee safety and comfort for pets and myself! Animals are well cared for, loved, and respected in my care. They will receive all they need whether it’s playtime, exercise, snuggles, or a peaceful time for themselves.

Information Karina B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs medical history, special needs and preferences so I can ensure the best care for them. I would like to know if your dog accepts cats and other dogs as well as older children.

A typical day

Pups in my care are never bored! I am physically active and love being outside in nature. We will walk in the most beautiful park that’s right in my backyard! The park is enclosed inside a safe subdivision where everyone knows each other and no one is a stranger. There is a stream and small forested areas throughout to explore. In my large backyard we will play fetch and run around freely. On hot summer days pups love having fun in a sprinkler, chasing my daughters!
