Pet care experience
Your Fur Baby’s New Favorite Friend
I’ve been a veterinary technician since 2018, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on my family’s farm, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, cows , and just about every type of animal you can imagine. Working with pets isn’t just a job for meit’s something that feels natural and meaningful. With years of hands-on medical and behavioral experience, I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs gentle care, medication support, or just someone patient and loving to keep them company, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands. Your pets will be treated like my own every step of the way. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for your pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know that pets feel most relaxed in their own environment, and I make sure to respect your space and follow your routines exactly as you prefer. I always take time to learn your pet’s habits, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any special instructions. As a vet tech , I’m trained to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, and I monitor pets closely to ensure they stay healthy and stress-free while you’re away. Your home will be treated with the same respect as your pets. I lock doors, secure gates, keep things clean and tidy, and follow any house rules you provide. I’m careful with your belongings and make sure your pet has a safe, calm area to rest, play, and relax. During walks or outdoor time, I use secure leashes, check surroundings, avoid unsafe areas, and always prioritize your pet’s well-being. Safety comes first, whether it’s preventing escapes, avoiding other animals, or making sure your pet takes their medication on time. With me, your pets will get gentle care, consistency, and lots of love always in the safest and most familiar place: home. 🐾
Ratings and reviews
Karina is a natural she is so amazing with our dogs I would recommend her to anyone!!!!
Karina stayed with our 3 dogs and did a great job. Thank you Karina!
Sage was raring to go. Thank you Karina.
She helped me out very last minute, and was great at giving me updates! Also gave my dog his meds like a pro when he decided not to eat it with his food.
Karina did a wonderful job caring for our senior cat. She was responsible and had good communication, so we felt our cat was in good hands while we were away. She also took the initiative to clean the litter box without my asking, which was very thoughtful. Thank you, Karina!
Karina was FANTASTIC! She came to the rescue very last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful for her. HIGHLY recommended! Will definitely rebook next time we are in town!
