Highlights
Pet care experience
Wellness retreat for your pet!
I have always had dogs growing up, ranging from collies to labs. Over the past few years, I've gained extensive experience pet-sitting dozens of different dogs, both big and small, with various behavioral and medical issues, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I take pride in getting to know each of my little clients' personalities and providing their owners with regular updates, including great pictures. I ensure everyone is comfortable in the new setting. I have experience handling dogs with epilepsy, seizures, skin conditions, kennel cough, emergency vet visits, stomach issues, and elderly dogs. If needed, I can administer oral medications and always follow the pet's regular routine to minimize stress. There's plenty of playtime, and dogs often hesitate to leave after staying with me, which I consider the best compliment for a pet-sitter :)

Ratings and reviews
Karina was a great host for our dog. She was professional, responsive, caring, and flexible in accommodating a transportation request. I especially loved the picture updates and video! My dog looked happy and comfortable in her care. Thank you, Karina!
Layla has such a fun time with Karina everytime! She took her on a long hike and lots of walk and was so tired when i picked her up :)

Karina has watched River several times and she is always great and River comes back a happy pup.
Karina did an excellent job watching our pets and house. She was very reliable and communicative which we appreciated. Highly recommend!
Karina has watched our dogs at her home many times and this was the first time she stayed at our place. She is always amazing with our dogs. They love her and our home was spotless when we returned.

Schedule
I usually take dogs on four walks a day: in the morning, at lunchtime, after work, and before bed. I live near the off-leash Marymoor Park and enjoy bringing my furry guests there!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure pets are safe and comfortable whether they're in my home or their own. I follow instructions carefully, like feeding schedules and medication. I keep communication open with the owner and address any concerns about the pet's health or behavior quickly. I always stick to the pet's usual routine to keep them happy.
A typical day
I enjoy brain-stimulating games, such as hiding treats all over the place, playing hide and seek, wrapping kibble in a large towel and folding it for the dog to figure out, and conducting indoor and outdoor training sessions (practicing heel, recall, sit, down, stay, and other commands). I make sure dogs get enough exercise and take the active ones on runs with me.
