Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard that is fenced in. One of my cats loves going outside with me to read and sun bathe. I have plenty of cushions for lounging, shady areas so the fur babies don’t get heat strokes in the summer and a hose for drinking and cooling off.

Information Karina S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has issues around other dogs, animals or people. Will your pet be afraid or lung at them. I want your pet to feel safe with me when exploring the out doors and not cause them any stress. Please let me know where or where not to take your pet.

A typical day

We will go on long walks exploring new places. We will jump and run in the park to make sure we both get plenty of exercise.

Pet care experience

I’m here to help you with your fur babies. I have taken care of both my own and family and friends pets since high school. I have experience with picky eaters and cleaning up messy spills. I’ve trained puppies and have cared for seniors. My sister is a vet technician and has taught me to look for signs of distress in animals wether is be eating, behavioral and/or physical.

Karina has always been a responsible and reliable person. In both raising me and our family pets, she inspired me to move forward with my dreams of working in the veterinary field. Since then I have shared my experiences as a veterinary technician with her, helping her gain the knowledge of how to spot the signs or symptoms of illnesses or injuries. Karina is always dedicated to give 100% in everything she does, but gives 1000% love to all fur babies including my own while I’m away. I wouldn’t trust anyone else as much as I trust her, especially knowing that I’m where I am today because of her.

I have trusted Karina multiple times to take care of our pets while we were away on vacation, and every single time she has gone above and beyond. She’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. I came home to happy animals. The updates Karina provided throughout my trip were always greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.

I can’t recommend Karina enough as a pet sitter! Karina and I have been friends for 10+ years and she is caring, reliable, and truly treats every animal like her own. My pets instantly loved her—which says a lot! She takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. What stands out most is her attention to detail and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s sending photo updates, sticking to routines, or noticing when something seems off, she goes above and beyond every time. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, responsible, and has a natural connection with pets, Karina is the perfect choice!
