Hey there ! I am Karina, a Bk native. I grew up in Bay Ridge & Brighton Beach, now live in Sunset Park. I graduated a performing arts high school, in Vocal Studies and hold a Bachelors degree in advertising and marketing, but I have been in the service industry comfortably for over a decade while enjoying my passions via different creative outlets. I have grown up living w cats, a dog and a bunny, respectively. My grandma used to rescue cats often in Ukraine. I grew up watching her care and adore them. My grandpa owned a dog growing up. I have grown up knowing how important animals are to us, and we to them. I have learned ( the hard way ) that my space is not big enough for larger scale dogs, so I am keeping my home open to small and medium sized doggos. I live in a smoke-free home, where I have lots of natural light and birds hanging outside my windows. The dogs especially love that. I keep a safe gate between my living and bedroom. I only close the gate at night if the dog doesn't struggle w anxiety otherwise I do let your dog sleep in the bedrm w me, in their own bed. Your dog will stay and hang freely around the living room, hallway & kitchen if they don’t struggle w anxiety otherwise they will have access to the whole home at night. My couch is open to your dog for comfort. I provide a clean and comfortable pet blanket which I wash after every dog I host. I also offer special treats, plenty of toys, games, extra poop bags, and an extra food/water bowl in case you forget to bring all of your dogs supplies. :) Please provide wee wee pads as I dont stock those. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask !
