Pet care experience

Fetch, Snuggle, Eat, Repeat!

I have been a pet parent myself for almost 10 years now, so I am very experienced with all aspects of pet care. I am patient and playful, but I can be firm when needed. My dog was born with digestive issues, so I am also experienced with making medication administration comfortable. As a teen, I would also petsit for my sister's three dogs, so I also have experience with multi-pet care that is fun, stress-free, and efficient!

Karina always responded really quickly and was even willing to take our dog in on short notice for the night. She sent lots of photos and kept in constant contact. She took great care of Juno.

I have known Karina for 17 years, and throughout that time she has always had a genuine love and admiration for animals. She is extremely detail-oriented, caring, and thoughtful, and she always makes an effort to ensure that everyone around her feels comfortable. Her nurturing personality is especially evident when it comes to animals. I am confident that Karina will make sure every pet in her care is well looked after, comfortable, and that all of their individual needs are met. She is attentive, patient, and sweet, and I would fully trust her to care for a pet as if it were her own. Karina is also naturally curious and is never afraid to ask questions or seek clarification when needed. She wants to make sure she understands exactly what is expected of her so that both the pet and the owner feel comfortable and confident in her care.

I am a full-time student with a very flexible schedule! I am able to walk and play with pets outdoors and wind down at home with them while studying and making dinner, ensuring a happy and safe stay, be it at my own place or elsewhere.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, there is plenty of outdoor and indoor space for them to play and get comfortable, and I have two roommates who love animals, so there will be no shortage of love and affection. At a client's home, I will adhere to daily routines as closely as possible and make sure to keep the space neat and tidy at my departure date to make sure I am being considerate of the time and space. Additionally, I am happy to send timely updates and photos about the pet!

A typical day

I absolutely love pets, so there will be no shortage of love, fun, and relaxation when they are in my care. We will go on walks, play loads at home, get plenty of snuggles, and consistent rest and meals.

Please let me know if there are any health or behavioral needs I should be aware of for your fur baby! I am happy to provide specific care if it best first their needs or preferences, I just need a heads up to ensure I am prepared. Also, I am a full time student, so traveling to locations farther than 5 miles for pickup or drop off is not feasible for me unless you are able to bring your babies to me!
