Trusted Pet Sitting with Karine🥰

Hello! I’m Karine🥰, an experienced and passionate pet sitter with a deep love for pets. I have been fortunate to care for two amazing poodles — my current 2-year-old mini poodle in Toronto, who loves adventure and companionship, and my beloved toy poodle, who lived to 14 years in Hong Kong. Both were energetic and friendly, and through them, I’ve gained valuable experience in caring for pets at different life stages. I pride myself on being a dedicated and attentive pet sitter, offering personalized care based on each pet's unique needs. I personally groom and bathe my dogs, ensuring they stay clean and comfortable. My dogs have joined me on countless outdoor adventures, from cottages to camping trips, so I’m well-versed in keeping pets safe and happy in new environments. Your pets will benefit from daily walks and ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I’m skilled in senior pet care, understanding the importance of patience and comfort for older dogs. I also pay close attention to any special instructions or routines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while in my care. Fluent in English, Cantonese (廣東話), and Mandarin (國語), I can communicate seamlessly with diverse pet owners and follow detailed instructions with ease. With a combination of personal experience, practical skills, and a genuine love for animals, I’m excited to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve.

Schedule

As a remote worker on weekdays, I am available to provide consistent care and attention to your pets throughout the day. My husband also works from home three times a week, ensuring that there’s always someone to look after your pets. We are available to walk dogs before or after work, making sure they get the exercise and outdoor time they need. On weekends, we take our mini poodle out for outdoor adventures, including cottage, camping, etc and can do the same for your pets if desired. This routine is perfect for pets who enjoy regular companionship and outdoor activity.

Safety, trust & environment

For dogs in my care, I provide regular walks, consistent feeding times, and plenty of playtime. If your pet prefers to sleep in a specific spot, whether that’s in their own bed, crate, or next to me, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m always available to provide updates and photos, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it's their health, daily routines, or favorite activities, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving environment where your pet can feel secure and happy. Before any boarding request, I would love to meet and greet to get to know your furry friend. This helps me ensure that I’m providing the best care possible and that your pet feels comfortable in a new environment.
