Carla was an absolutely exceptional sitter!! From the moment we started corresponding I can already tell my dog was going to be in great hands. She asked such thoughtful questions about my dog's needs and even offered to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was so punctual for the meet and greet and that immediately gave me comfort for when my trip was to occur. When she walked in, my dog was immediately obsessed with her and I felt her kind and warm energy. She didn't even blink an eye why my dog got an intense round of the zoomies and she played right along with her and made her feel special. Carla messaged me before my trip to check in and confirm the arrival time. On the day of my trip, Carla arrived exactly on time and that meant so much to me given that I had a flight to catch. She sent me updates and pictures all throughout and when I came back home my house was spotless! I can tell she has a true connection with animals and I will absolutely be booking her again.
