Pet care experience

Loving cat and dog mom

Growing up, I am thankful my family were avid animal lovers. Our home was always shared with cats, dogs, and fish. I have been fortunate enough that our love and care for animals has enabled us to have long living pets, with my first cat living until 18 years old and dog until 13 years old. This experience has given me a deep understanding of cat / dog behavior, their health needs, and how to provide the best care at every stage of their life. I’m comfortable managing everything from playful dogs/ kittens to senior dogs/cats with specific health concerns. I also understand the importance of building trust with both cats and dogs and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I'm dedicated to creating a routine that suits each pet's personality and needs, whether it's administering medication, providing companionship, or just offering a safe, loving environment.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat each pet with the utmost respect and care, ensuring that each pet receives proper attention and one-on-one time. I will make sure to follow each animal's regular routine and schedule as closely as possible. I am very conscientious of others' homes and will clean up after myself and the pets.

Karina took great care of our 9 year old husky during some afternoon drop-ins. She took him for walks and paid close attention to his wants and needs.

Karina has been walking my dog Teddy regularly for the past month, and she has been fantastic! She’s super thorough and detailed in her notes, and she goes above and beyond to make sure Teddy is properly cared for while I am away at work. I am so glad I found her to look after my fur baby every week!

House Sitting • Jul 24, 2026

Karina was a wonderful house-sitting dog sitter, staying with our dog for nearly a week. She sent regular updates and pictures so we felt totally at ease while away. We returned to a very clean home, just as we left it. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. She even got him to take multiple walks a day, which is not typical for him! We will book Karina again!

Schedule

Currently, I work fully remote, as such I am able to offer flexibility with my pets, or the pets I'm sitting for. I can be flexible with my routine to ensure that their needs are met, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just cuddling. I can offer multiple check-ins and am available for walks, play sessions, and monitoring health or behavior throughout the day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Karina can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I like to make sure I have a good understanding of each pet (e.g., medication, supplements, triggers, etc.), their likes and dislikes, and their routines.
