Availability
I am a full-time student and my schedule is fairly flexible, as I am taking classes online. I also don't have any dogs of my own so my full attention will always be on your doggo :)

Safety, trust & environment
At an owner's home: well, it depends! For those that have a backyard, I'll run around with your doggo and we'll play with their favorite toys! Inside play-time is generally for pets and cuddles :)
Information Karina S. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences but i would like to know ahead of time what the general temperament of your dog is. For my safety, it's important that I am made aware of any reactivity/aggression that a dog may have - which includes knowing their triggers.
A typical day
When I watch a doggo or cat, what we do all depends on how they're feeling and what they like to do. I take my cues from them. I will stimulate your pet mentally and physically. We will explore our surroundings and all of the nearby smells. We will play tons of games as well.

Pet care experience
I absolutely love animals. I firmly believe that all pets deserve to have the best treatment someone can give them. In 2016, I moved in with someone who had a dog (a belgian malinois named Emmy). I ended up taking care of her whenever my roommate had to work late or on weekends. I would feed her, walk her, take her to the vet and helped crate-train her. She wasn't mine, but I loved and treated her like she was. Fast forward to 2018, when my husband's coworker asked me if I'd be willing to walk their new puppy! Of course I said yes :) I then started to get requests from other neighbors to walk their dogs and that's how I accidentally became a dog walker! I will love your puppy (because all dogs, no matter the age and size, are puppies) as if they were my own!

Reviews
Karina (remember that song?), well Karina is a.wonderful walker and really cares for my getting old, Aggie. Calm, confident, responsible…most of all Aggie truly loves her. Karina made a daisy chain wreath for my seeet Aggie’s head. Aggie rides in a wagon and gets out to lay on the grass and smell the flowers. I live in Whittaker.
Karina did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our cat, Louie, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. She sent so many photos and updates throughout the stay - and not just random photos, but genuinely great ones that made us feel so connected while we were away. You could tell she really paid attention to Louie and his personality. Her notes were incredibly detailed and thoughtful, and she always included the exact kind of updates we cared about most. On top of that, her messages were hilarious and comforting, which made being away from Louie so much easier because we knew he was in good hands and being genuinely cared for. We also came home to little things that completely exceeded expectations - she swept up all the cat litter that had gotten everywhere, washed dishes, and left everything looking great even though we never asked her to do any of that. It was just such thoughtful, above-and-beyond care. Overall, truly awesome service and we would absolutely book Karina again. Highly, highly recommend!
Karina is reliable and cares for our cats. I would recommend her to anyone.
Karina is always great with the cats. They are comfortable and well cared for. Karina is flexible if our plans change. We appreciate her greatly!
