Highlights
Pet care experience
Can I take care of your dog, pls?
Ever since I was a little girl, dogs have been a passion of mine, and ever since I worked at a dog boarding and training facility, I knew I wanted to make caring for dogs a part of my life. I currently volunteer at a behavioral training facility, so I feel equipped to uphold any training that you are currently working on with your pups. I have cared for dogs for most of my life, and I'm super diligent about making a dog's experience the best it can be. I'm very detail oriented, so don't worry, there's no request too complicated! Additionally, I’m comfortable caring for exotic pets, such as reptiles, amphibians, and smaller furry friends. I have 2 panther chameleons and have been keeping chameleons for years!
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I will play with and love on your pup as if they're my own! If I'm caring for your dogs in your home, I will be respectful of your space and diligent to follow your directions for care. It's my priority to make sure that your dog feels safe and comfortable, and I'm committed to being patient and gentle as they acclimate to me. I only use positive reinforcement techniques (treats, and my voice/energy) if any redirecting is needed.
Ratings and reviews
Karina was terrific with our dog Pluto. She's very aware of how stressed a dog can get when their humans entrust them to someone new, and she gained Pluto's confidence quite quickly. We will absolutely use her again.
Karina is so great! She’s super sweet and respectful with us, our house, and our dogs! She knows how to handle them well, and very responsible. 100% recommend her! She is also easy to work with and figure out schedule. Great communication!
Karina did an excellent job of taking care of my fur baby!
Karina is the most attentive dog walker! She gives the best reports and always takes such amazing care. My dog had a minor injury and she took every precaution to help her throughout the healing process. I have never felt such peace leaving my sweet dog in anyone’s care like this and Karina truly is the best!! Highly recommend her in every way!
Karina is so communicative and sweet with my babies! She takes photos and leaves comments every time and I absolutely love it. My babies look forward to their walks every week
Karina is so good with Ruby! She communicates often and clearly cares so much about taking good care of her. Her experience as a trainer and clear compassion is so reassuring!

Schedule
I have open availability to care for your pups! With enough notice, I can make most requests work for me! Previously, I was working as a mental health counselor, and have needed a break to come back to my roots of being an animal lover. I am currently making my passion for dogs my sole priority :D
