Lifelong pet owner and vet tech
Pet care experience
Growing up on a farm, I started taking care of dogs and a variety of other animals daily at a very young age. As I got older, my passion for animals led me to pursue a career as a veterinary technician, so I have extensive experience caring for animals with all kinds of special needs, injuries and illnesses, and administering their medications. I also am confident dealing with dogs with behavioral issues.
Reviews
Carla has been doing drop in visits for my pups. She does a great job with the boys and she is very easy to work with.
Carla is so good with my nervous dog. You can tell she is a true animal lover!
Carla is very patient and encouraging with my dog who is very fearful. She is very knowledge about positive reinforcement training. I feel like my pup is in good hands on their walks!
Carla always takes great care of our dogs, which is why we continue to use her when we are out of town!
About Carla D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to come to your home to care for and take your pet out for walks in the neighborhood, give them time to play in the yard and/or snuggle on the couch, or even take them for a car ride to visit a nearby park or other place they like to visit. The boarding setup at my quiet, peaceful farm includes a large secure fenced yard with grass and shade for your pet to play or relax in as much as they would like, and a private fully insulated room with heat and air conditioning, with Coolaroo beds and/or plastic crates for your pet’s comfort and sense of security while they are resting.

Information Carla D. would like to know about your pet
I love all types of dogs and animals in general. I have no breed or size preferences. Some things that would be good to share with me about your dog before I care for them are if they usually get along well with other dogs (on or off leash), if they're usually friendly when approached by strangers (in the home or in public), and if they have any behavioral issues like storm anxiety or food aggression. None of these issues would deter me from taking care of your pet, they would simply help be take better care of them. Also, please let me know if they have any favorite treats, toys or activites!
A typical day
In addition to providing basic care such as meals, administering medications, and bathroom breaks, I would love to walk them around your neighborhood, take them out in the yard or to a local park to play, or just cuddle on the couch if that's their favorite thing!
