Pet care experience

Happy Paws, Cozy Cuddles, Safe Stay

I offer a calm, loving, and smoke-free home where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. There are no kids and no other pets in the home, which means your furry family member gets my full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. My space has large windows and plenty of natural sunlight—perfect for pets who enjoy window-watching or stretching out for a cozy sunbath during the day. I’m around to provide companionship, routine, and reassurance throughout their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I pay close attention to their needs, habits, and comfort levels, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet prefers quiet company, gentle play, or simply having someone nearby, I adapt to what helps them feel most at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in gentle, attentive, and caring hands.

Karina took great care of Wilykat while we were away. Wily came back happy. She has been a great company and very accommodating. We can comfortably leave Wilykat with her in future.

Karina has been responsible for caring for both my dog and cat on multiple occasions, in some cases for up to a month. Both pets have mild special requirements, which she easily managed. Not only did my pets come home feeling comfortable, but they recognize her home as a safe space. Genuinely appreciate her cautious nature and her check-ins whenever she notices odd behaviour or needs.

Karina is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has extensive experience with both dogs and cats and previously raised her own dog. Her home is spacious, clean, and provides plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable and safe. Karina has a flexible schedule, so she spends lots of quality time with the animals in her care, giving them attention, exercise, and affection. I would trust her wholeheartedly with any pet and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time. I structure my day around being present, which allows me to give pets consistent attention rather than fitting them in between errands. My days are calm and predictable, with plenty of time for companionship, play, walks, and quiet moments. Because I don’t have kids or other pets in the home, I’m able to adapt my schedule to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s regular check-ins, extra reassurance, or simply being nearby throughout the day. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task in my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make space for.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by paying close attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. I take time at the beginning to help them settle in, especially in a new environment, and adjust my approach based on their personality — whether they’re playful, independent, or need a bit of extra reassurance. In my home, pets stay in a calm, smoke-free space with no kids or other animals, so they can relax without unnecessary stimulation. I keep their routines consistent with what they’re used to, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to provide companionship throughout the day rather than brief check-ins.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality — whether it’s playful games, gentle walks, or cozy cuddle time. My goal is to keep them happy, engaged, and comfortable while they’re in my care

A Few Things I’ll Ask Before Booking Every pet has their own little quirks, routines, and preferences, and I like to understand those before they arrive. Before confirming a stay, I’ll ask a few simple questions so I can make your pet feel as comfortable as possible: • Are there any health considerations, allergies, or medications I should know about? • Is there anything that tends to stress your pet out or any behaviours I should be aware of? (For example, being alone, loud noises, guarding food, etc.) • How does your pet usually let you know they need to go outside? Are they consistent on walks or do they need reminders? • What’s your pet like day-to-day? Energy level, routines, favourite activities, or anything that helps them settle into a new space. • Are vaccinations up to date? This helps me tailor care to your pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for throughout their stay.
