Availability
Working remotely provides me with incredible flexibility. My 'office' is wherever I am, meaning your pets will have 24/7 companionship and supervision during house sits. I am there for every potty break, feeding, and midday snuggle. I generally keep a consistent routine but can easily pivot to match your dog's specific schedule, ensuring they never feel lonely while you are away.

About Carla C.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For house sitting, I maintain a tidy, secure environment and strictly follow your home's safety rules (leash protocols, off-limits areas, etc.). I am highly experienced with the physical requirements of handling giant breeds and am well-versed in positive reinforcement techniques. Whether we are on a long walk or relaxing at home, I am constantly monitoring your pet’s body language to ensure they are happy, safe, and comfortable.

Information Carla C. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, I love knowing about your dog including specific hand signals, commands, or any quirks. Please let me know if they have any 'jobs' they love, their leash manners (especially for large/giant breeds), and any dietary or medical needs. Knowing what motivates them most, whether it’s a favorite toy or a specific treat helps me build an immediate bond. Finally, please share their typical exercise needs so we can hit our daily step goals together!
A typical day
Our day starts early with an hour long morning walk and breakfast, followed by 'office time' where I work remotely while your pup relaxes nearby. I provide frequent potty breaks and midday play sessions to break up the day. In the afternoon, we head out for a longer, more structured walk or a visit to a local park to hit my step goals and get some fresh air. I love incorporating enrichment activities like snuffle mats or basic command reinforcement using positive techniques. Evenings are for unwinding with dinner, a final stroll, and lots of quality couch time. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to 'normal' as possible so they feel completely at ease!

Pet care experience
As a remote worker, I offer the ultimate peace of mind: true 24/7 companionship. Your pets won't just be visited, they will have a consistent, professional presence in their home to maintain their routine and keep them company all day. My pet care journey began at age 12 as a groomer’s assistant. I eventually took over the overnight care for the business, managing everything from Papillons to Irish Wolfhounds. Having a mother who was a dog trainer, I was raised in the world of group walks and training classes. I have a deep love for large & giant breeds. Having owned a Mastiff-cross (Thor) and a Cane Corso (Luna), I am highly comfortable and experienced with the strength, temperament, and specific needs of large breeds. My Care Philosophy: • Positive Reinforcement: I use reward-based methods to keep your dog's confidence high. • Enrichment Focused: Beyond just walks, I provide mental stimulation to keep pups happy. • Clear Communication: I prioritize learning your specific hand signals and commands to ensure total consistency while you’re away. • Active Lifestyle: I love staying active and am happy to provide structured, long-distance walks for high-energy dogs. I am detail-oriented, highly organized, and dedicated to treating your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members!
Reviews
Carla was amazing from the very first reassuring messages right through to the end of our trip. We'd never left our pup with a stranger before, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Carla put our minds at ease immediately. She was friendly, thoughtful, experienced, and incredibly flexible with times, which we really appreciated. It was clear Maggie had an amazing time! She came home happy, relaxed, and we loved seeing all the updates of her adventures. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carla to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with her again whenever we're in Kelowna. Thank you so much, Carla!
Carla was very accommodating and my pup seemed tired after a day with her, which is rare!
Carla was amazing! She took great care of all three of our little kiddos and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care and would definitely recommend her to others. We would happily book with her again! 🐾😊
Carla was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, well-organized, and it was obvious from the moment we met that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. My girl Luna had an amazing time with her. Carla made sure she got plenty of walks, swimming, playtime, pets, and games of fetch. It was clear that Luna was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. Carla was kind, reliable, and always on time. She truly went above and beyond in every way. To top it off, she left my home cleaner than when she arrived, which was incredibly appreciated. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely be a returning customer — 100%! - 7 stars
