The best care for your best friend!

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I have been taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and colors for over 9 years. I love dogs and very recently I was fortunate enough to finally get my own! His name is Ender. He’s an Australian Shepherd that loves other dogs, people, and life. Raising him has been a joy and incredibly rewarding! Ender and I would take great care of your best friend. I live a super active lifestyle so I have no trouble keeping up with active doggos. On the other hand if your pup is more of a couch potato - that’s okay too! We’ll relax together and I’ll give them plenty of belly rubs. Regardless, you can always rest assured that I will treat your dogs as if they are my own.

Karina is our new pet-sitter when we're in Orange County! She watched our little guy Julius while we visited family for the holidays, and he instantly became a part of her house and buddies with her social and very cute puppy Ender. She was very very responsive and available by phone, flexible and accommodating on drop-off/pick-up times, kept us regularly posted on his activities several times/day (with a lot of pretty funny photos), and provided us a written snapshot review of his experience on pick-up. She's clearly a dog lover and knows how to keep a sleepover pet comfortable and happy. We cannot recommend anyone more highly. Definite A+ service- thanks for all your help Karina!

Karina's a great sitter! She actually walked Oreo for a few miles each time I dropped him off for daycare instead of just saying that she could. She's responsive to text and also worked with Oreo's jumping when I told her I was concerned with his new-formed habit. She writes thoughtful rover cards about what they did during the day, which I definitely appreciate. Highly recommend! :)

Karina was great for daycare! She was open to meeting us ahead of time, was responsive to questions and sent me a lot of updates during the day. Would definitely recommend!

I hired Karina to take care of Heidi, my German shepherd. She was great and took care of heidis needs. She walked her and also even surprised me by giving her a bath. Would definitely hire Karina again.

Information Karina L. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog aggressive towards other pups or people? Unfortunately, I can’t accommodate that because I have a dog & roommates. Is your dog potty trained? That won’t be a deal breaker but I definitely want to make sure I let them out to potty more often! Do they need any medications or special care? I can administer and provide! Anything else that’s special about your pup? Special diet, food aggression, training you want me to keep up? I’m super accommodating and want to provide the best care possible!

A typical day

I live very close to the San Diego Creek Trail and it’s a favorite walking spot of Ender and I. We also have a dog park on site at my apartment and plenty of regular parks nearby to ensure maximum play. During the summer, we can go up to the dog beach and hang out there! Rainy day? I excel at dog training and would be able to keep your dog mentally stimulated by doing additional training or reinforcing your current training.
