dogaholic - love my furry friends

Pet care experience

I like to see myself as a dog enthusiast. I'll roll, wrestle, chase, and play with dogs until both of us are on the floor panting for a break. I have has been surrounded by animals all my life, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, a bird, and a gecko that bring me so much happiness. Some may call me animal obsessed, but I see that as a good thing. I have so much love for all kinds of furry friends and I hope to one day meet yours to prove it! Perks to picking me: - I respect all my clients wishes for how their pets should be handled and taken care of without question. - I have crates at my house for those who prefer to be caged. - I have a very big yard of 2 acres for your pets to wonder and explore in (with a leash of course, because I do not have a fence). - I also have multiple pet hospitals around me incase of an emergency. - I make fresh dog friendly treats for my furry clients so that I can form a genuine connection with them. - I have a walk in shower that allows me to bathe your dog/cat if needed or requested. - I have experience with big, small, medium, old, young, hyper, calm, and diet restricted dogs. - My current dogs are familiar with interacting with other dogs, but I also have rooms that could separate the dogs if needed. - I promise to treat your pet(s) with unconditional love and care, just as I treat my own.

Karina was excellent, she immediately made Spencer feel at ease. She is prompt, responds in a timely to messages. She walked him, fed him and he was totally comfortable with Karina. We have booked for another house sitting. Recommend highly.

Exceptional, passionate and loving...a few characteristics that describe Miss Karina Pantoja. I have never seen her without a smile on her face proving she loves life to the fullest, as well as dogs! My six year old Tennessee Tree Brindle can't stand when he sees Karina coming! If you want to see your furry friend's eyes light up, butt shake and tail wag constantly, Karina is the dog sitter for you. One time I even heard my dog say that she gives the best belly rubs. (I am saddened as I thought I gave the best belly rubs!!!) Anyways, disappointment is a word you will never pair up with Karina. She is only the best dog sitter around! 1,000,000/10 :)

Karina has grown up with dogs around her all her life. She is the Steve Irwin of dogs; always talking to them and having them gravitate to her. Dogs are always happy to be around her and she enjoys nothing more then being surrounded by them. She is dedicated to their well being and happiness.
