Pet care experience

Big or small I care for them all

I’m a 30 year old stay at home mother who loves animals I’ve had many years of experience handling dogs that people are usually afraid of the biggest mean looking animals are usually the biggest sweethearts. I’m patient and I adore all animals they are innocent and just usually want to play or attention. Dogs are like kids honestly they want attention to be fed to be loved etc. I grew up around dogs and have never been afraid or impatient with them. If you choose me I love to send pictures and videos daily almost a lot so please be aware I’m very communicative.

Karina was an absolute blessing! I have an anxious boy who I have not boarded before and was extremely nervous to find a caretaker for. She was extremely flexible, attentive, communicative, and loving. My boy had trouble adjusting and Karina was so patient and caring as she helped him transition to her home. She frequently sent photos and videos in addition to text anecdotes to update me on his mood and health! I will be booking with her the next time I need a sitter in Houston, and I suggest you do the same!

Karina took great care of my boy Onyx and inundated me with pictures and videos of him while he was with her. He had a blast and got along well with everyone. Would definitely book again!

Karina was wonderful!!! She was able to take my Spinks last minute. She sent lots of pictures and videos and kept me posted with messages regarding Spinks day to day activities. I would definitely recommend booking her for boarding or other pet needs.

Pets

A typical day

My typical Day with a dog would be us waking up eating breakfast and headed for a walk or possibly Dog park. I would then come back Home cuddle with them Or play with their toys and take a nap. I’d take them for a afternoon walk and have dinner with them. I love energetic dogs of just lazy cuddly dogs im very easy to accommodate the needs of the dog.
