Reviews
Challenger was well looked after, had lots of walks and we received regular updates. He's always happy to arrive at Karina's, thanks for taking such good care of him.
Our pup had an amazing time with Karina. We received regular photos and videos. They got out for lots of walks too. We now have a tired and happy Labrador, thank you :)
I was nervous about Spike having his first time away from me but Karina was lovely and welcoming to him instantly, keeping me updated with videos and messages, I can tell he’s been very well looked after and I’d highly recommend Karina as a pet sitter, wonderful job done, thank you 🙂

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In My Home: I have a designated spare room that’s a quiet, cozy space for pets to relax in when needed. This helps them feel safe, especially if they are nervous in a new environment. For those pets accustomed to crate training, I can also provide crate accommodations to ensure they feel secure during their stay. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for your pet to play, nap, and explore. Personalized Care: I tailor care based on your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special needs. Constant Supervision: Pets in my home are never left unattended for long, ensuring they’re always cared for and looked after. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on keeping things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions to a T, ensuring your pet maintains their daily routine. This includes regular feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication or special care they need. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost care, ensuring everything is clean and tidy after each visit. Regular Updates: Whether in my home or yours, I send daily updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they need!

Information Karina K. would like to know about your pet
To ensure I provide the best care possible, it’s important for me to know a few key details about your pet before they stay with me or I care for them at your home. Here’s what helps me prepare: Daily Routine: Knowing your pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime helps me stick to what they’re used to, keeping them happy and comfortable. Health Conditions & Medications: If your pet has any medical issues, allergies, or needs medication, please share the details so I can ensure they get the right care. Temperament & Behavior: Understanding how your pet behaves around other animals, new people, and in different environments is crucial. For example, are they shy, anxious, energetic, or social? This helps me tailor my approach. Dietary Needs: Whether your pet is on a special diet or has food sensitivities, I’ll need to know what’s safe to feed them and how often. Training & Commands: If your pet knows specific commands or is undergoing training, it’s helpful for me to use the same words and techniques to maintain consistency. Crate & Sleeping Preferences: If your pet is crate-trained or has specific sleeping arrangements, let me know what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet’s unique personality and needs, the better I can make sure they have a safe, happy, and stress-free experience while in my care! Please Note: For privacy and safety reasons, we don't offer in-person tours. We’re happy to share photos and answer any questions to help you feel confident! Thanks so much for understanding — we can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home!
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally stimulated with fun activities tailored to their personalities and energy levels! Here’s what I offer: Daily Walks & Playtime: For dogs, I ensure plenty of outdoor time with walks, runs, and play sessions at local parks. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring new paths, your dog will get the exercise and excitement they crave. Interactive Games & Puzzles: To challenge their minds, I introduce pets to interactive toys and treat puzzles that keep them engaged. These are perfect for both dogs and smaller pets like rabbits and chinchillas who enjoy mental stimulation. Cuddle & Relaxation Time: For pets that love a bit of downtime, I make sure they get plenty of cuddles, gentle grooming, and relaxation time in a cozy spot. My home has a quiet space where they can unwind, or I can create a calm atmosphere in your home. Social Time (if applicable): If your pet enjoys the company of others, my friendly little boy loves to join in for playtime! Pets staying with me will have a buddy to share the fun with. Custom Fun: I adapt to your pet’s specific likes. Whether it’s extra-long walks for energetic pups or gentle play for senior pets, I ensure their needs and preferences are always met. My goal is to make every pet’s time with me not only comfortable but also filled with joy, excitement, and plenty of love!

How Does Pet Care Fit into My Routine? Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily life. As a part-time worker at Pets at Home UK, I already spend a significant part of my day surrounded by animals, learning about their behaviors, health, and well-being. When I'm not at work, I devote my time to pet sitting and dog walking, allowing me to offer flexible services that fit around my schedule and yours. Flexible Hours: My part-time role provides me with a lot of availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate regular walks, last-minute bookings, or extended pet-sitting needs. Routine Focused on Pets: Whether it's a morning walk or an evening check-in, caring for animals is always a priority in my day. My job reinforces my passion for ensuring every pet is well-cared for, both at work and in my free time. Continual Learning: The experience I gain at Pets at Home allows me to stay up-to-date with pet care trends, new products, and best practices, which I apply directly to my pet-sitting services. In short, my week revolves around animals, ensuring your pet always receives the best care!
