Pet care experience

Loves dogs, fenced yard, home often

I have a deep passion for caring for animals. I grew up with a dog who we had for 13 years (pictured in profile). Sadly he has since passed and so there are no current pets in my home. I currently work as an LSW at a private practice for counseling and am home working remote most of the day. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and has truly become a passion. I am experienced in exercising, feeding and bathing your dog. I will provide your dog with the upmost and best care. I feel that dogs are just as treasured as people and should be treated as such. I am more then willing to take your dog to the park and play with your dog. In my care your dog will have all the care and attention you could ask for. My main concern is that your dog is happy and healthy. Dog walking is always a good reason to get out and exercise. I also have experience with bully breeds as they are my favorite! Note: We do not do well with dogs who are food aggressive and/or reactive regardless of the breed. If a dog becomes aggressive and tries to attack/attacks the stay will be ended early.

Karina took great care of Jax while we were away! She has a clean, welcoming home with fenced front and back yards, and she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay. She’s also a genuinely kind and wonderful person, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Jax in her care. He looked so happy and well cared for with her. I would definitely book with Karina again and highly recommend her!

Karina was great! She provided an accommodating and inviting atmosphere for my dog. She was in constant communication and made sure Dottie felt comfortable. It was my first experience doing this and I honestly felt at ease. Thank you Karina, will definitely reach out next time I'm going away.

Karina was great with my dog Tonto! He can be nervous and timid but seemed really comfortable with her! It was the first time I had left him with anyone but family and her picture updates helped ease my mind!

A typical day

Living so close to the park I often enjoy a nice walk there and some play time with any dogs that I watch. I also love going out to Main street to walk dogs there as well.
