Pet care experience

Lover of fur, fins, tails & scales

I grew up in a “zoo household,” loving animals of all kinds. Feathers, fur, scales— you name it. Even with a house full of my own pets, I became a go to pet sitter in my neighborhood at a young age. I have two cats of my own, and while I love them to death, I’d love to borrow your dog for a little while :) Any size/age is welcome, though I have a particular soft spot for huge breeds. (I’m also entirely open to walking your Iguana.) (Bonus points if your dog is actually a pig.) Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!

Karina was amazing! She responded super quickly and was able to walk Milo ASAP when we needed her! She also took really cute photos of him for us!

I had Karina dog sit for me many times! She’s great with dogs and loves them. She’s super experienced with animals. I would highly recommend!

Karina took amazing care of my two dogs, going above and beyond to keep me at ease about leaving them. She kept me updated constantly and even sent me a video of her playing fetch with them! Needless to say she really cares (and loves) the dogs just as much as I do!

Karina is absolutely terrific with animals. I wholeheartedly trust her with my dogs, she treats them as her own. She has a lot of experience with animals and will keep your babies safe and happy. I HIGHLY recommend Karina!

Schedule

I am an educator, and my summer has allowed me more flexibility to spend time with other people’s pets. I am available for walks, drop in visits and house sitting (my cats have requested no boarding, unfortunately). I will not accept a service if I’m unable to give your pet even more attention and care than desired!
