Young, energized, animal lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household where all animals were loved, scales, fur, hair, you name it! We were very close friends with a professional dog breeder, and always had multiple animals of our own running all over the house! I have been bottle feeding, potty training, leash training, and socializing dogs specifically for many years. I also did two years college for animal science (training includes cattle, horses, pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, rodents, etc.) It is my dream to one day open a veterinary practice of my own. In my household, we currently have dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards. I love all animals, I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I've never met an animal I didn't love as my own!

Karina was amazing! All of my pets were well cared for and she sent me plenty of updates. She left the house in perfect order and her communication was great. Would definitely book again

Karina is so communicative and takes such great care of my dog and my home. Grateful to have someone who I trust so deeply. She’s the best.

Karina was amazing! She took excellent care of our pups and thought of everything when it comes to looking after them and our home while we were away. She sent daily reports with lots of pictures and it was obvious from the photos and our pups attitudes when we got home that she took the best care of them. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I always get to know the animal first, learn their traits and routines. Are they an escape artist? Are they food/treat motivated? What is their routine with their owner? Are they reactive? I will only do what is comfortable with the animal and their owner, and stick to their schedule you have set with them already.

Information Karina M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behavioral ticks, I am willing to work with all animals, as long as I am made aware of any possible issues.

A typical day

I want to make sure all the animals needs are met! Weather that be mental or physical stimulation, I have puzzles for training dogs and mental focus/stimulation, I love exploring with my pup, so I can take clients dogs around the neighborhood, to explore trails, go to local dog parks (with owners consent), take the dogs to the water, etc. I have a wonderful fully fenced dog park in my neighborhood that I can take clients dogs too for exercise.
