Pet care experience

Your Friendly Neighborhood Sitter

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!

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 :)

Karina is the best! She is thorough, conscientious, caring and truly gives her whole self to connecting with our cat. I feel absolutely secure knowing she is there while we are away. Her messages about her time with our cat helped us feel very close while away. I can not recommend karina highly enough!

Karina is great. The kitties love her. We totally trust her with our babies. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Karina was once again the greatest! Our cats are shy and hide for strangers but they’ve officially warmed up to Karina and even accepted pets this trip. Looking forward to booking Karina again soon :)

Karina was absolutely amazing with my cat, Korra! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Korra felt safe and comfortable. She sent great updates and plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that Korra loved her and was in great hands the entire time. Karina went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave my cat. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and wonderful with pets. I’d happily book with her again!

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Karina can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
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.
