Your Dog’s Best Friend in Sun Valle

I have a rich personal history of caring for dogs. Since childhood, I’ve lived in a family with dogs of all sizes — from a small breed like the Russian Toy Terrier to a large breed like the Collie. This gave me experience with different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Later, I had a pug of my own, and taking care of him was a big part of my daily life. He taught me responsibility, patience, and how to be attentive to a dog’s emotional well-being. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, brushing, playing, and simply spending time with dogs. I always try to create a calm, safe space where they can feel relaxed and loved.

Took great care of my puppy. I was out of town and highly recommend her if you need her to take care of your puppy. I can tell she really cared for my dog.

Karina was so thoughtful. She constantly communicated with me throughout my trip despite a major time difference. She treated my jojo like family and was super flexible. I highly recommend her and will seek her out in the future.

I left my French bulldog with Karina, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the first message, she was kind, responsive, and clearly cared about making my pup feel comfortable. She kept me updated with lots of photos and little notes, which really made me feel at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. Karina treated him like family, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently not employed full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for your dog. I am available during the day for walks, playtime, and companionship, and I can also offer overnight care in a calm and cozy environment. I’m also happy to arrange drop-off or pick-up at any time that works best for you. This allows me to give your dog plenty of love and attention both day and night.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious apartment in Sun Valley, Los Angeles, with a securely fenced area outside — perfect for safe potty breaks and fresh air. The space is comfortable for both small and large dogs, with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at ease. My home is quiet, pet-free, and air-conditioned, making it a comfortable space during warmer days. I also live near a local park, which is great for longer walks and some extra fun time outside. Your dog will have my full attention, and I always do my best to create a warm, loving environment that feels just like home.

A typical day

We can play together with toys and treats, enjoy a fun game of fetch, or simply take peaceful walks around the neighborhood. I also love taking little photo sessions to capture happy moments of your beloved pet. My main rule is to always consider each pet’s personality and choose the activities that bring them the most joy, energy, and comfort!
