Pet care experience

Who better than a dog trainer?

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.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure the safety of pets in my care with baby/pet gates and a brand new latch on my back gate. I always walking on leash and never off. I do have an etended 30 ft. lead and harness as well as a stake for playing fetch out in open areas. I do try to keep to as close a schedule with your pet as they have at home.

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.

This was my first time boarding my dog and the first time I hired Karina. She is the best! I usually do drop in visits when I travel for work but since my latest trip was nearly two weeks, I decided to try boarding my dog. Karina made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She asked all about my dog (habits, likes, dislikes, medical history, etc) and did a meet and greet with her dog as well. The boarding went great! I got an update once a day with pictures (I’m sure I could have gotten more frequent updates, but with my travel on the East Coast, I told her once a day was sufficient). Karina cared for my dog like it was her own. She’s a real dog lover and I would not hesitate to hire her again!

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.
