Hi! I’d love to care for your dog!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 12 starting from my very own. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals which is why I decided to work with Rover. They will be treated very well and will have lots of fun when I look after them. I understand that every animal have their individual needs, wants, and personalities and I’m happy to meet those requirements for them as well. I’ve had a dog for over 11 years now so I know the basics of taking care of dogs when it comes to feeding, drinking water, playing, and walking them! I’ve had experience walking dogs, taking them to dog beaches, playing fetch, giving them medication/ food/ and water, and bathing them as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask away I’ll get back to you as soon as possible

We had the had the pleasure of booking Carla through Rover to take care of our beloved senior dog, Myxie, who has special needs, including separation anxiety and dementia. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the exceptional care she provided! From the moment we reached out to Carla, her warm and compassionate demeanor instantly put our minds at ease. We were concerned about leaving Myxie, given his unique challenges, but Carla's experience and genuine love for animals shone through from the start. Carla demonstrated an extraordinary level of patience and understanding, especially in dealing with Myxie's separation anxiety and dementia. She took the time to build a trusting relationship with him, allowing him to feel comfortable in her care. Carla's ability to navigate the complexities of Myxie's condition showcased her dedication to providing specialized and thoughtful attention. She went above and beyond to ensure Myxie is comfortable and secure throughout the day. Not only did Carla meet our dog's physical needs, but she also took the time to engage with him emotionally. Carla's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her a true gem on the Rover platform. We highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets, especially those with special needs. Her commitment to the well-being of our senior dog made our day worry-free, and we are immensely grateful for the peace of mind she provided.

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. So many photos and updates on our dog-- every day! We could tell she was cared for and loved. Would recommend Carla to any and every one needing their pet's care managed while they're away!

I live in a gated pet friendly community. We all love dogs here! It is very safe and there’s plenty of space to walk for your dog.

Information Carla A. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know their schedule for feeding time, potty time, walk time, and medication time if that applies to your dog. If they have any disabilities, deformities, limits, or anything that needs special attention I’d love to know that as well so I can give them the best care!

A typical day

I am capable of going on walks with the dogs I take care of. I’ve playing fetch with them as well as taking them to a dog friendly beach or park for them to have fun!
