Pet care experience

I am a certified dog trainer in sc, I worked at the local petco for three and a half years as their senior dog trainer. I worked as a dog bather for 2 years. I can do nails if the dog is not aggressive. I worked at a local boarding, daycare, grooming, home visit, and dog walking facility for 2years as well. I also have vet tech training, so medication is not a problem.

Karrington was extremely helpful last minute to come check in on our fur baby. Gave up prompt updates and great communication.

I have worked with and know Karrington personally. From dogs to cats to chickens to ducks, they all love her. My own animals adore her. She has taught me many tricks to help with my over active (lol) labradoodle puppies. I also have a cat and a chihuahua puppy and they all absolutely love her. When we worked together she could tell me the personalities of each dog before the even arrived. She is very patient, attentive, and helpful and an absolute joy to be around. She was stern enough to where the dogs listened to her, honest enough to where they trusted her and sweet enough to where they loved her. She is definitely a rare find. To be honest, because of her I am going to get some baby ducks soon! Her ducks are amazing! So beautiful! Her some film with animals let’s u know she was born for this.

Hello. I have known Karrington for about five years. We first met when she was a dog trainer at Petco. I was the new recipient of two shelter rescue dogs and I was having no luck training these dogs. They were loveable pets, but we not responding to commands and could not be taken outside unless they were on leashes, or they would instantly dash off. Karrington very confidently trained the dogs to be obedient, and she educated my family and me on how to effectively communicate our intent to our dogs. Now, their behavior has greatly improved, to the point where some friends and neighbors joke that these cannot be the same dogs. Our dogs no longer bark excessively, ignore commands, have accidents indoors, or dash off. Now we can even take the dogs outside in the yard without leashes. They understand and respond to verbal commands. This is all due to Karrington's training methods and her insights into 'dog culture' that have allowed us to better understand and communicate with our dogs to achieve desired results. Karrington has a wealth of experience with dog training, and she has a talent for coaching people to get more effective results from their dogs, and integrate them as loving, loyal, and obedient members of the family. Karrington is definitely an asset to any team or franchise that focuses on pet (especially dog) health and well-being. I strongly endorse Karrington for a position with Rover.

I have a huge fenced in back yard with two very sweet social dogs to keep them company. My house is sectioned off so I can easily separate dogs if they are not socialized. I have a lot of experience house sitting and doing home visits. Dog walking, boarding, grooming, dog training, vet tech, I’ve done it all.

I just finished my seasonal job. I’m now working part time as a DoorDash driver and traveling merchandiser when I am not scheduled through Rover. In other words, if you need me, I’m available.
