Pet care experience

From Farm to City!

Having grown up on a farm, I have had experience with animals since before I could walk. My family has always had livestock and pets: llamas, cows, chickens, fish, dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it! I had also cared for my own dog, until her recent passing due to old age, throughout college.

Karina was amazing. Our dogs loved her and she took excellent care of them. We have 4 dogs and three of them are older, knowing she is also a vet tech gave us even more peace of mind. We will absolutely hire her again!

Karina consistently goes above and beyond, and we truly couldn’t ask for better care for our pup. Knowing she’s looking after him gives us such genuine peace of mind whenever we’re away. We’re so grateful to have someone so dependable, thoughtful, and attentive—we highly recommend her!

Karina stayed with our dog and cat for our wedding day&night. Having that stress off our day was so relieving. She was very responsive and communicative. She send us some photos through out which just helped reassure us that the kids were well cared for and content in the comfort of their own home. Definitely will be using her again!

Karina did another awesome job caring for Ms. Bella. She was communicative throughout the lead up of her house sitting visit and she sent me cute videos and pics of Bella at ease with Karina which put me equally at ease while I was away. I found Bella content, cared for and happy to see me. Karina is a pleasure to have as Bella's sitter. She is responsible and trustworthy and most of all dependable and caring.

Karina did a great job with Bella and was openly kind, courteous, trusting, attentive, responsible, respectful, communicative and just all around the perfect pet sitter! She was so accomodating and helpful from the initial time I reached out to her. I was so relieved and happy when she said she could help! Bella, enjoyed time with Karina too. I could tell bc when I arrived home Bella was well adjusted and it looked like I had never left. Definitely will book Karina again and recommend her to all. You won't be disappointed!

Karina took great care of my boxer for the weekend. Sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the day. I could tell my dog had a great time with her. If you're in the area I highly recommend Karina!
