Hi! I’m Karina. I’m 42 years old, originally from Venezuela, and I lived in Spain for 17 years. I recently moved to Copenhagen, and I would love to spend time caring for animals here because I truly love pets, especially cats and dogs.

I have experience with animals through one year of volunteer work at an animal rescue center, where I helped care for rescued pets. This experience taught me to be patient, attentive, and responsible with animals of different personalities and needs.

Since moving to Copenhagen, my cat stayed in Spain, so I really miss being around animals, even though my landlord has a cat that I sometimes help care for.

I can help with dog walking, pet sitting, and home visits. I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I adapt to each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel safe and comfortable.

In difficult situations, I stay calm and keep the dog safe. I observe the dog’s body language and behavior, and I am patient with shy or energetic dogs. I avoid sudden movements or loud noises. In an emergency, I contact the owner and a veterinarian immediately and make sure the dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

When I was a dog owner myself, I once experienced a situation where another dog showed signs of stress during a walk. Unfortunately, it was too late to avoid contact between the dogs, so I stayed calm and tried to create as much distance as possible without panicking. I avoided sudden movements and protected my dog as best as I could. Despite a brief fight, I managed to separate the dogs safely. Afterwards, I checked my dog carefully and cleaned a small scratch near one eye after exchanging contact information with the other dog owner.

I only accept vaccinated pets for the wellbeing of both the pets and myself, and I always do my best to give them proper care, attention, affection, and companionship. I am a calm, caring, and reliable person, and I understand how important pets are to their families.

My daily routine with a dog typically includes a morning walk followed by breakfast, a midday potty break and playtime, and an evening walk, dinner, and relaxation time. I always make sure pets have fresh water, attention, and a calm daily routine. Of course, the length of walks depends on each dog’s needs, size, and energy level.

I normally walk for up to two hours, and in Copenhagen I enjoy using parks and green areas such as Søndermarken, the lakes, and the Frederiksberg area for walks. If pets live in other neighborhoods, I use similar nearby areas. With larger or more energetic dogs, I can spend up to two hours walking and exercising with them.

I do not leave pets alone for long periods during pet sitting, and I never leave them unattended while outside the house under my care. I am available for pet sitting seven days a week.

I can also send daily updates, pictures, and videos so owners can feel relaxed knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I am also able to follow special instructions, give basic medication if needed, and stay attentive in unexpected situations or emergencies.
