Loving dog/cat mom and sitter

Hi! We are a family of 7— me, my husband and our 5 babies. We’ve got a dog, four cats and so much love in our home. Hoping to extend that love and care beyond my own babies and provide an easy, safe and fun experience to your babies as well. I know how stressful it is to leave your animal with a stranger, so I make sure to always send updates, pictures and videos and care for your pet with the same love and attention as I would expect for my own. Our home has a big fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies and fetching. Our dog Beni loves having friends over! He is super social but also has learned how to respect boundaries (he has learned from being smacked by the cats on multiple occasions). 😂 We are big animal lovers and cannot imagine life without all the joy that they bring us. They are truly our family, so we know how important it is for you to feel like your family is safe and being taken care of. I work remotely, which gives me the ability to always be around and tend to your baby’s needs. Shoot me a message if you are interested in boarding your baby with us! ❤️🐾

Such a great experience! Karina was super nice, very responsible, and kept everything spotless. She sent us daily photos and videos, which made us feel so connected while we were away. Aspen looked happy, loved, and completely at ease—it truly meant the world to us. Highly recommend!

If boarding dogs, MUST be cat friendly to ensure everyone’s safety. Let me know of any special needs, medication or behavioral concerns and if there’s anything else I should know to ensure a safe space for the pup/cats.
