Animals Make Everything Better!

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by and have taken care of animals my entire life. From growing up with both cats and dogs, to housesitting them for friends, family, and roommates in my 20's and 30's, to finally having my own in my 30's and 40's, I LOVE being around animals! I have past experience caring for Border Terrier's, English & French Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, Standard Poodles, Vizsla's, and Mixes of all kinds. Animals are our guardian angels sent to help guide us through this crazy world we live in. They deserve all the attention, care, love, rubs, and treats we have to offer. After all we are living in their world.

Goose was so excited to see Carl when he came to pick Goose up! We got pictures and updates while we were gone. When he was dropped off it was clear that Goose had a nice staycation while we were away. Highly recommend Carl! Carl, Thank you for taking such good care of our wiggly boxer.

Just the best!!! I immediately felt at ease when I dropped Sam off with Carl. He and his partner have the best vibes and I knew Sam was going to be well taken care of. I would recommend Carl to everyone, 10/10!

Carl was beyond incredible with both of our girls! He was so communicative throughout our entire trip, sent tons of amazing pictures and made us feel so secure knowing both our dog and cat were getting tons of love and care while we were away. Would give 100/100 stars if we could!!

Safety, trust & environment

I share a larger one bedroom apartment in Hillcrest with my pet loving partner who works for Petco. Our unit has A/C, is smoke-free, has a covered outdoor patio, and we live across the street from a small grassy park-let. We only board up to two dogs at a time to ensure they have enough room to run around, relax, and feel at home. They are guaranteed to get lots of attention, play time, and love. I guarantee at least 4 outdoor activities a day when boarding; morning and evening walks, a midday walk/activity, and a bed time pee. For consistency of training and routine my care is an extension of your care/rules. I will work closely with you to understand your dogs routine, needs, and training.

A typical day

Depending on the neighborhood, length of time requested, energy level, and the activities your dog enjoys doing will dictate what we will do. I enjoy the outdoors and seeing a dog happy doing what they love. So, whether that be a walk around the neighborhood smelling the flowers, a dog park to run around and makes some new friends, keeping me company throughout the day on my various errands, a hike for our climbers, or an open park/beach for our high energy runners, I am game. Our home is their home. We have a/c, beds, toys, treats, indoor/outdoor space for them to play and or rest.

Pet care is my full time job now having recently left a 23 year career with law firms as an Operations Manager. I'm a caretaker and I love being of service especially in times of need. I'm here to make your life easier and stress free whenever you need assistance with your fur baby. Be it walks during the day, drop-ins, doggy day care, boarding, or house sitting, I will work with you to meet you and your dogs needs. I also offer pick-up and drop-off service if needed.
