Pet care experience

Hello everyone, my name is Karina. I am a nurse in Chicago and live with my fiancé Danny, and our adorable Pitbull Chief. Both my fiance and I absolutely love dogs because they bring so much joy to everyone around them. We live in a condo which is why we can only house one additional dog at a time. Chief is an energetic, happy-go-lucky, but selective dog who was rescued in January 2015 from Paws. We fostered him for two weeks while he was recovering from pneumonia. However, that little sucker stole both of our hearts the second we laid eyes on him and he only went back to Paws to sign some paperwork and say bye to all the ladies. Although he has tons of energy he also loves to just hang out and does give others space. We say he's selective because as a pup he got attacked by a lab and now he does not get along very well with some dominant dogs. We do request that before committing to anything we do a meet and greet with our dogs. It will be the only way we will know if both of them will be a good fit for each other. Since we both work during the week we will only offer our services on the weekends when someone is home for most of the day.

Karina was great at taking care of Milo. We got tons of adorable pictures, and she was always quick to respond when we had questions. We would love to have her take care of Milo again!

Karina and her fiance Danny were great. They kept me updated with the most adorable pictures of Ms. Burger throughout her stay. I could tell Ms. Burger was sad to leave her new friend Chief (their sweet pittie), as she moped around the house the rest of the evening. I would definitely recommend and book with Karina again!

Information Karina R. would like to know about your pet

Their mannerisms with other animals, other people, and children. Each pet has his or her own quirks. I can go with the flow of the pet's routine. Also, we unfortunately cannot dog sit any labs or huskies at the moment since Chief does not get along very well with them.

A typical day

We will walk around the neighborhood and if they're runners then we will run around the streets of Chicago together because I'm a runner too!
