Dog lover, let's get out and walk!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Carla. I am mom of 3 teen agers and two cats. I am a professional artist and animal lover. I was born in Mexico City but have been in the US for the last 20 years. I work from my home studio in Barrington so I am very flexible. I am my own boss so I can adjust to your schedule. I had dogs all my life but for the moment we just have our kitties (but they are indoor cats and don't take walks, darn!) As a little girl I grew up with small dogs, we had a Poodle and a Maltese. When I was in my twenties I had an Akita, Irish setter and a Beagle so all types of personalities combined! I love outdoors and long walks. I take my neighbor's dogs for walks when she's at work. I've been doing this for the past 4 years but she's moving so I will miss my 3 dog buddies. My family and me lived in FL for couple years and I used to take care of my friend's pig and 3 dogs when she was out of town. Her husband is a professional tennis player so they used to travel a lot. I will go couple times every day to feed them (especially the pig, she was always hungry!) played walked them and give them their medicine when needed. One of them was really old so he required special care. I will I will be a great walker and buddy for your dog, especially if he or she is high energy. I run marathons so being outside with your doggie will be a pleasure for me and him! I do this because I love animals and enjoy interaction with nature, otherwise I will stay in my studio 24/7 painting and designing!

Carla was excellent and completely put my mind at ease while I was out of town. She cared for my cat like her own, successfully gave him medication, kept me updated on how he was doing - she definitely went above and beyond! Highly recommend!!!

Carla has been an invaluble and loving care provider to my beloved pets for years now. My husband and I travel extensively and need to know that our pets are being looked after by an outstanding petsitter. Carla fits the bill and then some. We have a very large pet pig and three dogs, each animal with a different personality and different needs. As a matter of fact, we have an elderly dog that requires special care as he is now deaf and nearly blind and he needs to be watched and given extra attention. I always feel at ease when I know Carla is there. All of my animals adore her. I recommend her services without reservation!
