Pet care experience

Your dog’s home away from home

Dog mom to a friendly 3-year-old Lab mix and passionate about providing loving, attentive care. I’ve owned a dog for the past 12 years, but grew up caring for my friends and neighbors pets. Your pup will enjoy plenty of attention, walks on the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, or relaxed time in our fenced backyard. Whether they’re young and energetic or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll treat them like family and care for them as if they were my own.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Brix! She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, and it was clear he was loved and cared for like one of her own. He had so much fun playing with her sweet pup, got plenty of walks and exercise, and came home happy and relaxed, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog! ❤️

Carla was awazing with our two girls. She took such good care of them. I was able to enjoy time away knowing that they were in good hands. We played with them, gave them so much attention and even cleaned up the yard. I will definitely use Carla again and highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience boarding our pup in Carla's home! Our dog was so well cared for, and Carla sent daily updates with pictures and videos. Her dog was incredibly sweet and got along great with ours. She did a great job balancing exercise with being mindful of our older dog's past surgeries and individual needs. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Carla and her family have cared for and walked our dog whenever we travel since 2010, and we truly couldn't have asked for better caregivers. They are genuine animal lovers who treat every pet as if it were their own. Knowing our dog was in their care always gave us complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and reliable, your pet couldn't be in better hands. Absolutely recommend! 🐾❤️

Carla watched my dog on short notice and I have nothing but great things to say about her professionalism and the genuine care she provided. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her and didn’t want to leave when I picked him up! Carla is one of the nicest most caring people and I’d 100% recommend her!

We have trusted Carla with our dog on numerous occasions while we were away visiting family, and she has always done an outstanding job. She is reliable, responsible, and loves animals. When Carla would watch our dog it gave us peace of mind because we knew she was safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors. We have indoor cameras to monitor the house while we are at work. Our friendly 3-year-old Lab mix loves meeting new canine friends and provides great companionship for visiting dogs. I carefully supervise all interactions and make sure each dog feels comfortable in our home. We have an 11 year old and 6 year old that both grew up with a dog and are very caring and respectful of boundaries. They will be supervised while with your dog. Whether your pup enjoys active play, relaxing in the yard, or extra attention and cuddles, they’ll be treated like a member of the family in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog has their own routine and preferences, so I tailor each day to fit their needs. I provide at least three walks each day, and whether your pup enjoys long adventures or shorter strolls, we’ll go at a pace that’s comfortable for them. Between walks, dogs have plenty of time to play and explore in our secure fenced-in backyard. We love games of fetch and outdoor playtime, giving active pups a chance to burn off energy in a safe environment. I also make sure there’s plenty of downtime for cuddles, attention, and relaxation. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and extra affection, they’ll receive lots of one-on-one care and be treated like part of the family.
