Pet care experience

Pet-lover and biologist

I am an animal-lover and biologist trained in animal care, so I can administer medicine and know what your pet needs. I have also worked with a very anxious dog for years, so I know how to deal with severe anxiety.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to do a Meet & Greet before I work with a new animal so I can meet them when/where they are comfortable. If I am house-sitting, I can be in your home for a large portion of the day that I am not actively caring for your pet, monitoring them and keeping them company while I work on other things.

Karina is very kind and geninuely loved my cat! Her communication was daily and spot on and it made me feel like I could relax since I knew my cat was in good hands. Thanks so much for your amazing care of my little fur baby Karina!

Karina has been amazing with both my puppy and my cat. She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. You can tell she genuinely cares and she’s always thinking of even the little things. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!

Karina was absolutely wonderful. She took care of our young, very active puppy and was not afraid to ask questions when needed. She communicated throughout the time we were gone and let us know any potential issues. They sent so many photos and made me feel at ease being away from my dog 🥰 I would definitely rebook again.

Karina has done house sitting and dog care for us several times over the past 5 years. She takes great care of our dog, giving love, walks and play and following all instructions. She even helped take our dog to the vet during one stay. She is very responsible and takes good care of our home. Highly recommended.
