Love and care as if it mine.

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm a pet lover Karina, brazilian girl living in the United States and I worked a long time with animals, in Brazil, I worked in a pet store and I have a pet hostel, today my mom takes care of it. I’m a very affectionate person and I love spending my free time with pets, I like to go to the park to play with them or play at home with their favorite toys and give lot of hugs. In my house in Brazil, I have 5 pets, three cats and two dogs I miss them a lot... I work from home and throughout the day I have dedicated time set aside to go on walks, play with, love on, and take care of your babies, I'm here on rover because I would like to stay a little closer to the pets to help me on homesick days.

It was sad too see a lot dried up poop in her cage. Also we didn’t get back new supplements bottle. Also when I picked her up, there were more dogs than I was told. Also so I was told that my pup ate other dog's food and had diarrhea right before we pick her up.

Information Karina S. would like to know about your pet

I need from you about the behavior, if it can be with other dogs during the day and walk. So that way I can figure it out to do the best for us to have fun together.

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs, run, explore the neighborhood because it’s a new place for them also it’s stimulate with smells. Usually I go out with for a fast hike (there is in my complex) or playdate with my neighbor who has a sweet puppy and love to play with new friends.
