pet sitting by kar

We keep them happy

To provide peace of mind for pet owners when they can’t be home with their pets. To provide pets with loving attention and care in the environment they are familiar and feel safe. To always exhibit professional conduct, honesty, integrity and respect for personal property.

To minimize stress and scuffles, we only pet sit dogs that live in the same household and are used to each others company.

Meet Our Team

The dynamic husband and wife duo, Karina & Lazaro Chiaffarano, started Petsitting by Kar as an extension of the passion that Karina has for animals working as a CVT in surgery. As pet owners themselves, they have experience with dogs, cats, birds and even reptiles.

It’s important to get to know your furbaby care provider, as you are trusting us with a member of the family, so here is a little bit about Kar and Laz!

Karina

Karina has extensive experience with animals– from nursing and being a veterinary anesthesia technician for 11 years at Miami Veterinary Specialists. She started pet sitting on the side during college and has developed long lasting relationships with her clients through the years. Being a CVT, she gladly offers different forms of in-home care & medicine administration including; insulin injections, Subcutaneous fluid therapy, nail trims, ear cleanings, wound care and is CPR certified. Her love of animals is her passion and making sure her clients pets are happy, healthy & comfortable is her #1 priority.

Lazaro

Lazaro’s passion for animals was born out of his love for Karina & their chihuahua Bubu, when he met them 5 years ago. They met while swimming with sea turtles on vacation! After witnessing Karina’s love of animals at work and caring for Bubita he started to help her with pet sitting and has not stopped since! He believes that Karina is todays “Dr. Doolittle” and is awed at how she can form instant connections with dogs and cats.
