Experienced Dog-Sitter for Hire! I am a dog lover, and I can care for your dog in my home with fenced in yards, and two friendly dogs. Your trip can be worry free, frequent updates, attention to detail with mealtimes and any special needs, Skype/FaceTime any time to check in. Don't subject your pet to the distress and separation anxiety they experience in kennels. I will make certain your pet feels happy, comforted and loved in my home . I do not skimp on attention to a beloved pets needs, I have excellent credentials and references, and you can trust in my accountability as I will treat your pet as I do my own, with love and gentle yet firm assuring words. Your pet will be at ease and having fun, too, while you are away. You provide food and instructions for feeding and care. My rates are flat $40 per day, and I service the Pensacola and surrounding areas. I provide services in my home only. I’m sorry I do not accept pit bulls or pit mixes for the safety of my pets and others.

We are so happy to have found Karina to watch Honey during our trip. She was very thoughtful and went above and beyond for our situation and I would def recommend her! We will be booking our pup with her for our yearly trips to the area.

We had to find a dog‑sitter last minute, and Karina was a lifesaver. She replied right away, patiently answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease about Riggo’s stay. Her setup is very dog‑friendly, and Riggo seemed to settle in right away. She sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. Riggo came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her.

I left my precious 17.5 year old with her for several hours today. She was so loved and taken care of. If I am ever in the area again and need care for my baby girl, we will come back. Thank you so much.

This was our first time leaving our dogs with Karina, and it was a great experience. Check in and check out were easy, and Karina kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. She also has a great set-up for dogs! We will book with Karina again.

This was our second time booking with Karina while our family vacationed at Pensacola Beach and we are so thankful for her! Our kids loved seeing pictures of our pup throughout the week and he clearly enjoyed himself! We recommend her to everyone!
