Come home to a happy, tired dog!
Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 8yrs! I’ve trained dogs as well for 5yrs! I’ve also been working in vet medicine for 5yrs. BOARDING is now open!! Boarding dogs will stay with my bf and I in Yonkers. ***We do not have resident animals at the Yonker location, but we do have a 7yr child who understands dog behavior, how to respect them and approach dogs.***** It’s a 30 mins drive to queens and 45 mins to BK. We chose to do boarding in Yonkers because it’s much more closer to state parks and fields where dogs can truly be dogs! They can run around, play in the dirt and enjoy nature. I treat all dogs like my own! I love going on long walks to take the dogs to parks for play time, fetch, frisbee, digging and running around. I also enjoy taking pooches hiking, swimming and to dog parks! If your pup is dog selective, that’s ok! Being a trainer has allowed me to learn and understand how to read behavior and body language! Dogs are dogs and love to play with each other normally, however I still act as a referee to monitor the play style, intensity and excitement. I make sure they get potty breaks, breaks during play and everyone plays fairly. You will receive daily, multiple updates with no maximum. When i watch your pet, I will make sure they will be all tuckered out.
Reviews
Karina was lovely. She was always next to Behri and never left him alone. Her experience with senior dogs provided peace of mind to us. The main reason us to book her service was prevent Behri falling and causing injuries. I would definitely recommend her and will book her service again
Cannot say enough great things about Karina’s love for dogs! She’s not only caring, intuitive and super enthusiastic, but she’s also very knowledgeable about dog behaviors, health, training and overall wellbeing. Karina was recommended by another family in our building who swear by her care and now we couldn’t agree more. Karina is a secret gem. She plays, and took our puppy on an all-day nature walk while providing us multiple checkins with pictures. Our puppy felt an instant connection with Karina as we did the first time we met her. We are lucky to have her in our puppy’s life ?
Karina is the best!
She’s simply the best, Bodhi always knows he in for fun with Karina!

A typical day
I’m a firm believer In stimulating your dog physically and mentally! That’s why I have many types of puzzle games in my home! Your pup will have puzzle games during his/her stay along with physical activities. We’ll go upstate, NJ, Connecticut , Long Island for hiking trails and areas they can run and swim in! After a few hours of exploring, they get to lay down on comfy dogs beds and relax. Maybe eat lunch if you pack it for them. After that, they will either have a tasty chew treat or some puzzle games with some yummy, tasty treats!

I currently work 3 days a week. When I’m home, I will spend all day with your pup. I normally take the pups with me when I run errands as I usually go to pet friendly stores and am well known by the stores now.
