Karina Kares Sitter Services

*Se habla español* I am a stay at home mom with one toddler who loves pets just as much as I do. I have been petsitting for over 10 years now. My home is a 3 level townhouse with security gates at each level and a screened in patio and balcony. My community is very pet friendly with plenty of pet designated areas close by and a dog park less than two miles away. I will provide picture updates and information regarding your pets directly to your mobile phone or email. We do provide some toys, bowls, and leashes during their stay in our home but we also encourage that you bring some of your own pet items to help them feel more at home. **Special rates are available for multiple pets** *Se habla español* Why I love dog sitting I have loved animals all my life but I have been caring for animals for over 10 years. My home is fitted with various gates that were meant for my son but also work well with dogs. I have two indoor cats that stay on the first floor but they have behaved great with our guest dogs. About my yard We have a small, tiled, fenced, and screened in patio in the rear of our 3 story townhouse that leads out to the large open yard. My experience administering medication yes only oral medications.

Karina always answered all my questions, sent me photos of my pet, and was very kind. I received my dog without any issues. I highly recommend her. Excellent service.

Karina was great! We were very nervous because it was our sweet boxer’s first time with a new petsitter but when we got Kimi’s pictures we felt so much better, she looked like she was having fun. And she was relaxed when we picked her up. You can clearly tell that Karina and her family love pets and enjoy taking care of them. Highly recommended!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Around our community, that is very pet friendly and to one of various mile long walking paths in the hammocks community. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dogs will sleep with us in our bedroom, on either a bed provided by the owner or one of our various beds. Time I'll spend with your dog I am a stay at home mom, so I am home most of the time. If I do need to leave my home, it will not be longer than an hour or two.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Karina can host up to 4 pets per night
The only breed I can not take is pitbulls. I would like to know as much as possible about the dog; including if they are friendly with children, have separation anxiety, like to chew on certain items, if they are friendly with other dogs, and anything else that could help the dog feel like they are at their own home.
