My Dog Caring Experience Lasts my Whole Life
Pet care experience
Hi there! I live in a spacious flat with a garden near Paddington Rec. Unfortunately, I personally don't own a dog but but I am able to care for your dog whenever you want me to! A year ago I obtained a diplomas "Introduction to becoming a Dog Trainer" as well as "Canine Communication" which gave a deeper understanding of canine training, behavior and their various needs. I am glad I can utilise this knowledge in my role as a dog sitter! Your doggy will definitely have a great time with me full of mentally stimulating games, playing and long walks. Background: I have been always surrounded by various animals since I was a child. My parents were breeding Caucasian Shepherds for over 20 years and I was learning how to look after them since I was very little. Besides this breed, I also lived with a French Bulldog, Cani Corso, Doberman Pinscher, Canaan, Border Collie and various mongrels, which gave me an idea of how different each dog is, requiring a different approach, according to its particular needs. The last dogs I was staying with were Canaan (Theia) and Border Collie (Buzz). I lived with them for over 1,5 years. Theia was a naughty dog! So I can say I learned a lot from her multiple training sessions and boot camps. For example, she attended a doggy school and I was helping out with her while also learning dog training skills including: basic obedience, reward system, voice commands and ability to recognise behaivoural signals. Additionally, I am planning to volunteer at Battersea Dogs and Cats home.
Reviews
Karina is wonderful. Great communication, regular updates and a very happy dog. She took our job at short notice and made everything work. Was east and a huge relief. Would highly recommend.
Karina was fantastic when she looked after Jetsam, our 1 year old, mega hyper Border Terrier. She was super easy going and great fun with him. Loved receiving her regular updates on Jetsams days in doggy day care with her. He came back each day super tired after some great walks and doggie interaction! I wouldn’t hesitate in booking Karina again.
Karina was super flexible and sent us lots of videos of Salvador having fun. I'll definitely be booking again, thanks Karina!
Karina is wonderful with our dog and so kind, communicative, and flexible. She takes great photos and gives excellent updates. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

I prefer going to Paddington Rec for walks as there are plenty of space and other doggies to play with! In addition to that, I have a big garden, however it is not fenced, therefore I would never leave your pup there unnatended.

Let me know if your dogs has any special needs, behaviours or allergies that I can account for. I don't have any breed preferences, I like all of them!
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically as well as mentally. We would do activities depending on the breed needs, whether it is fetch, play with interactive toys or sniffing during walks to stimulate dog's senses.

I recently came back from travelling and I am currently WFH and have lots of spare time on the weekends, so let me know when you need someone to help you out with your four-legged friend! I can look after your friend all day, meaning he/she will never be alone :) I used to offer various services before my travels, especially doggy day care - I had my own Doggy Kindergarten (my boyfriend has been a great help!). However, due to finding a new permanent job I am currently offering dog boarding only, for 1 dog at a time (unless from the same family), so that your dog(s) can have all of my attention 🐶😊
