Pet care experience

Your Pets Next Best Friend! 🐾❤️

I’m an avid animal lover with experience working at an animal shelter and professional dog grooming. One of my favorite things working at both those places is gaining the trust of anxious and timid dogs who learn that they can feel comfortable and safe with me. I have experience with seniors, puppies, and disabled dogs. I have also been taking care of friends and family members pets for 9+ years. I try to make it as fun and comfortable as possible for the pets so they feel like they’re on vacation too!

Karina was so great with our dogs! Her pics and reports made us laugh and feel good about our pups care while away from home.

Karina took great care of our cat while we were traveling. He is shy and warmed to her and loved the attention. All his needs were well taken care of.

Karina did an amazing job taking care of my cat. She sent so many pictures, was very detailed in her daily report, and played with him every time she checked in on him. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again when I leave town!

Dog Walking • may. 22, 2026

Karina was fantastic with Mercury. After warming up to Karina, he was excited to be walked by her everyday. I can trust Karina to walk him just about any time and will definitely be using her services again.
