Karina was absolutely wonderful!! She sent daily updates, and was really great with all our animals. We have a picky dog who’s not much of a people dog, but he fell in love with her instantly.

I have a 5 year German Shepherd (my bubby) who has major separation anxiety. My boyfriend and I booked our yearly vacation to Phoenix that we take every September and for the last 5 years since we got Kona, I have trusted only Karina with her. We were a little anxious leaving her with someone else for the first year because Kona tends to bite her own leg when we aren’t there and when she gets anxious. But Karina was great and came over often to let Kona get used to her before we left and ever since we only trust her with our baby.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, and favorite activities. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, including seniors and cats with health concerns, so detailed instructions are always appreciated. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pet.
