Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, I ensure they are welcomed into a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I provide a cozy, designated area for each pet, including comfortable bedding, toys, and personal space to relax. I follow the pet's specific dietary requirements and feeding schedule. Fresh water is always available. Regular walks, play sessions, and interactive activities to keep pets physically and mentally stimulated. My home is pet-proofed, with secure indoor and outdoor spaces to prevent any accidents or escapes. Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I maintain a clean environment, with regular cleaning of pet areas, and feeding bowls. I am attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and have a basic first aid kit on hand. I am also experienced in administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates and photos, so you know how your pet is doing. I look forward to providing the best possible care for your beloved companion!

A typical day
I love to take long walks around my neighborhood and take them to play with the ball or frisbee. There is also a dog park right by me where they can go run around and let out some energy.

Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Karina, and I have a deep passion for taking care of pets. Over the past 15 years, I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. My experience ranges from daily walks and feedings to administering medication and providing special care for pets with unique needs. I have been a pet owner myself for 15 years, during which I've developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and health. I am well-versed in recognizing signs of distress or illness and know how to respond promptly and effectively. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and love. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care, tailored to their personality and preferences. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I strive to ensure that every pet feels safe and happy while under my care. I am also experienced with various training techniques and enjoy helping pets learn new tricks and behaviors. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing consistent care, especially when owners are away. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a reliable and trustworthy service. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
Reviews
Karina is great! My dog Kobi is pretty nervous and timid around strangers and deals with separation anxiety too but Karina did a great job looking after him and I’m glad he made a friend with Luka too!
Karina and her puppy Luca were amazing puppy sitting my 4 month old doxie named Winston. I got updates throughout the day with photos and comments. I think Winston may have also learned some manners from Luca. Will definitely be coming back!
Peppercorn loves spending time with Karina and Luka!
Peppercorn loved his time with Karina. Highly recommend.
