Availability

If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

A typical day

Some fun things I would do with your pets is I would play catch with them if they prefer, cater to them in terms what toys they like to play with and join them, I would do frisbee too if they can catch! Otherwise, I’m happy to match and mirror their temperament, I also enjoy some simple quality time and just co-existing — being in each other’s presence.

Pet care experience

~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve.

Korina looked after my fur babies and home when I had gone to Maine for 2 weeks. She stayed in my home and made sure everything was well looked after, and I came back to happy, relaxed pets and a clean home. She gave regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear she really cared about their routines and personalities. I could tell they were comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. I would absolutely recommend Korina to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter & I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
