Pet care experience

Empty nester That Loves animals

I really love animals. So much so that it’s nearly impossible for me to pass a pet on the street and not stop to say hi and give attention. I am still working from home Mondays and Fridays and my daughter is home from college some weekends, holidays, and summer. She helps care for animals in the home. We are the kind of people who stop people on the street just to pet their dogs. My daughter has been dubbed the “dog whisperer”. She asked if she could start her own dog sitting business, hence, here we are. We like to go to the pet store just to look at the dogs. We are a fun loving and easy going family of three. We live in a quiet condo community with the perfect area to walk dogs around. We’d love to help families feel at ease when leaving their fur babies with us. Unfortunately my husband has allergies so we’re only able to take allergy friendly dogs.

Karina and Terry always take outstanding care of my Bichon, Dewey. They have watched Dewey for me several times and I never have to worry while he's with them. I will continue to use them whenver I have to travel. I highly recommend Karina and Terry!

Karina took our dog on short notice and provided a fun day for her and a worry-free day for us. Thank you Karina!

I can’t thank Karina enough for watching my anxious girls on such short notice. They’d never stayed with anyone before, so I was really worried—especially about my most nervous one. But Karina’s patience and care won her over completely! My dad picked them up to happy, relaxed doggies and total peace of mind.

Schedule

I’m currently working from home Monday and Friday. When home I take them out as often as they need and then some. They usually lay on the rug or couch in my office so they can hang with me all day or they’re free to roam about the house.

Safety, trust & environment

I typically take dogs out on leash unless the owner advises they’re ok to be off leash. I have a lead out back if your dog likes to spend time outside for longer periods. If your dog is prone to dash out the door when opened, I keep a an AirTag at my house to put on their collar just for safety.

A typical day

We can walk around our quiet condo community, the lake to walk around, or to the local dog park if the owner says it’s ok. I’m pretty good at getting them to have zoomies from playing. If they like car rides, I’ll try to take them with me whenever possible.

We have someone with allergies to dogs that shed in our home. We’d prefer allergy friendly dogs. I also think we’d like to know if the dog is skiddish, needs quiet, if it’s hyper, if it’s ok with kids, sleeping habits, cuddling restrictions, or any other personality traits worth mentioning.
