Your pup is in good hands!

I grew up on a homestead and was always around many different animals including dogs. I rode horses from a young age and walked dogs throughout college to help pay for tuition. I love animals and am super comfortable around them!

House Sitting • sep. 01, 2025

Karina was so great to Bubbies, he loved her quickly. She took him on many outings and kept him company while we were away. I LOVED the pictures she sent of the two of them enjoying each others company. Having a street pitty can definitely be nerve wracking when not knowing their history, and as new parents we are still figuring everything out; but she helped us feel at ease and handled herself well around him. Having Bubbies really felt like having an unplanned adoption, I never thought I’d have a pitty, let alone a dog! I believe it takes a village and Karina really feels like a part of my community now, and I would trust her to take care of Mr. Peanutbutter all over again if need be. She was very accommodating on time meetups, and also was very respectful watching over our space too. Just a joy to have would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter. Did I mention good communication skills too? Thank you Karina.

Dog Walking • jul. 07, 2021

Karina is very communicative and flexible; several times, she’s has been available at very short notice. Even more importantly, my dogs love her! They have been very excited to see her before walks and sad to see her go after. I highly recommend Karina.

Karina was a roommate to me and my rescue ridgeback/pit bull for the past year. She was an incredible dog sitter for multiple weekends and long trips I was away. Everything Karina does she does with the upmost sincerity and kindness—and she treats dogs no differently. She took Lea for walks, fed her, played with her, and in general helped transform our rescue from shy and afraid to a tail wagging pal.
