MEET KARINA, your professional pet sitter in Downtown LA.

I’m not just a dog or cat person—I’m an animal person! My name is Karina, and in addition to being a Certified Interior Designer, I’m a dedicated pet lover excited to meet you and your pet. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I have cared for a diverse range of animals, including turtles, fish, dogs, cats, birds, and more. My own companion is a Russian Blue mix named Sterling Malory Archer—true to his namesake in personality and attitude. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention and affection as I do my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, cuddles, or overnight care, I strive to create a stress-free and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I understand how difficult it can be to entrust someone else with your pet’s well-being, which is why I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to keep you reassured—especially during extended trips. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve had the joy of fostering unexpected friendships between pets, including my own cat and a friend’s Cane Corso, proving that companionship knows no bounds. Whether in your home or mine, I tailor my care to what’s best for your pet’s comfort and routine. I’m thrilled to be part of the LA Pet Sitting team and look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!
