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 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!
Karina was very attentive and caring with Jax. Her communication was detailed and much appreciated. She has a cool, calm energy and connected well with Jax during the meet and greet and really took care of Jax while I was away. I definitely will rebook with Karina when needed in the future. Thanks a bunch!
I’ve trusted Karina to watch my dog, Finn, and cat(s) for a couple of years now. Finn loves his time with her. Karina is always communicative and sends pictures, which is highly appreciated. I would highly recommend Karina for pet sitting!

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
