Pet care experience

Leave your pet in safe hands

Hello! I am a natural caretaker when it comes to all kinds of pets. I grew up on a farm raising cows, chickens, sheep and taking care of household pets, such as dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, hamsters, etc. At a young age, farm life taught me the importance of the hard work and dedication to our furry friends. I have a passion for keeping animals happy, healthy and taken care of! Would love an opportunity to help your beloved pets :) I have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pet and love staying active with them. I spend the majority of the day in and out of the house for walks and runs around the neighborhood. I am a reliable and intelligent caretaker. I will actively learn about your pets needs in your home and be sure to keep good communication.

Korina is so sweet! She was able to help me out last minute and was great with my puppy. She provided updates throughout the day and left my pet a happy girl! I would definitely recommend!

This was my second time going to Korina for boarding. This time she watched my dog and my cat while I was away for the holiday. She kept me informed on how my pets were doing and send the absolute cutest picture updates! It really makes a difference when you can be certain your pets are in good hands with a sitter you trust. She is so friendly, bubbly, and it shows that she genuinely loves animals. I would definitely recommend Korina to anyone needing pet care. She’s at the top of our list!☺️ Thank you Korina!

Korina was an amazing sitter! I would 100% recommend! She was so friendly and relatable, (Go Hawks!☺️) but also enthusiastic about watching my miniature dachshund, Millie. She was attentive to Millie’s needs and sent lots of pictures to keep me updated on their activities while I was out of town. Millie made lots of new friends and I could tell she had a blast! Thank you so much Korina!🙌🏻

I had a great sense of comfort leaving Luna with Korina. When we dropped Luna off we got to see her giant fenced in backyard which was perfect. Korina sent regular photo updates. In addition to neighborhood walks she took Luna on a hike. Bonus surprise that she bathed Luna! Her coat was so soft and fluffy. I’d recommend Korina and plan to work with her in the future.
