Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote Designer & Giant Breed Pro
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!

Ratings and reviews
Carla was super profession and kind; she was communicative and sent the best pics of their visit. Highly recommend !
Carla has an amazing dog park and a creek close to her home- my dog absolutely loved spending time with her, and we will definitely book her again!!!!
Carla is communicative, flexible with pickup and drop off time. Molly is happy with her stay.
our dog adores Carla, which makes the rare times we leave her that much easier to navigate. Carla takes wonderful care of our 85lb meatball, with plenty of exercise and adventures and photos shared! we can see how relaxed mabel is with her and we especially appreciate that she shares her couch for cuddles :)
We are so pleased we booked Carla for Gracie’s care. Carla displayed confidence and as a result, Gracie responded positively to her. I was very happy that Carla kept us well informed on a daily basis of how things were going, as well sent us numerous photos. We have already booked her for our next trip!
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!

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
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.
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!
