Must Love Dogs!

Besides being a natural born bark enthusiast I spent 7 years as a nanny and house manager which often times also included taking care of the family dogs inside their home and occasionally my own. When it comes to your fur baby. I treat them as my own. I love to teach and practice tricks and basic training. I am extremely patient and positive when it comes to training. I will definitely spoil your pup and give them the best time! Whether it's one hour or one week, your canine cutie is in excellent hands and will get the royal treatment. From a paw massage, to extra pets, cuddles and even their own personal broadway musical, I love to make sure your dog is spoiled and feeling good!

Aside from being a wonderful doggie aunt while I was traveling, Karine is about the kindest, most responsible and responsive person you could ask for. Your little one will be lucky to stay with Karine and Frank. 🩵

Karine is an excellent sitter!! So kind and sweet and my pup had a great time. She's very experienced and responsive, sending lots of videos and pictures while I was away. Picked up a very happy camper after staying with her :) Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!!

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to work with small or schmedium dogs. Though I occasionally work with big dogs. 🐩Please note for overnight stays my dog come with me. My day is structured and prioritized around your dogs needs and exercise level. I spend the majority of my time with your dog, making sure they have company and don't feel anxious and aren't left alone for too long.
